Instructions

1. Learn about the five categories to be used in the game from the host.

2. Spin the wheel. If you get one of each item, you get a $50 question. If you get two of one item and one of another item, you answer a $100 question or a $50 question. If you get three of the same item, you get a $150 question.

3. Find jokers which can be substituted for any category. Therefore, if one joker appears you can answer a question for $50 or $100. If you spin three jokers, you win the game.

4. Win the game by reaching $500. However, if you were the first to spin and you reach $500, the other player is still able to take her last spin and see if she can tie or beat you.

5. Play the bonus round. The bonus round consists of money and devils. If you can accumulate $1,000 or more without seeing a devil than you win a prize package. If a devil comes up, you lose whatever money you have accumulated.
