Storyline
A long-running quiz show hosted by TV veteran Jack Barry, and later by Bill Cullen. In this show, contestants would have to answer questions on a wide variety of topics, with the prize money determined by a slot machine-style device. The winning contestant could then move on to a bonus round, where they would play a slot machine for a chance at even bigger prizes, but with the risk of losing everything.

Trivia
Originally, the bonus round featured prizes on the wheels. The contestant got a spin, and each window showed a different prize. The player could take the prizes, or make one more spin (they couldn't keep some prizes and spin others; it was all or nothing). Some of the prizes had circles around them; if all three windows showed circles, the player won a car. Very soon after it started, the circles were removed; instead; a car (or boat) was added to one of the wheels as a prize. Later, the wheels showed "Jokers and Devils", and soon after, dollar amounts and devils, which is how it stayed for the remainder of its CBS run and its syndicated run. See more »Quotes
