I like both Alex and Wink, but more Alex. He always felt more genuine. Wink struck me as a guy playing a game show host most of the time. I think what ended up becoming the 1987-1988 version of High Rollers was better than this, and likely by the time that went to air, Alex was busy with both Jeopardy and Classic Concentration, but cool to see this still.

I know my comment is a year old, but I'm watching this again and reading everyone's comments, so I would combine Lucky Numbers and High Rollers to make the game better. Here's how. Firstly, get rid of Debbie. An announcer is perfectly capable of introducing contestants and reading prize copy, and she really added nothing useful to the show. Main game rules: The player in control has the option to play or pass. Rolling an unlit number earns a prize. Rolling a lit number loses the game, as in High Rollers. A seven allows the player to light any unlit number, thereby earning themselves another prize while also increasing the risk. A roll of doubles lights up that number if possible, but also, in any case, gives the player the option to steal an opponent's prize. The player does not _have_ to do this, however. If the option is declined, the player must roll again (i.e. no passing) without a question being asked. A player cannot lose the game when rolling doubles, even if the number is lit. The 2, 3, 11, and 12 all function as normal. Best two games out of three wins a match. Bonus game rules: Numbers shown on the board function as normal. Every time one is lit, the player wins $500. The seven, as in my revised main game, allows the player to light up any unlit number except the last one and earn $500. 2, 3, 11, and 12 add $100 to the total. These numbers may be counted as many times as they are rolled. To win the game, the player must reach $3,000 by either clearing all the numbers on the board or doing it the hard way of getting a bunch of 2's, 3's, 11's, and 12's. As before, rolling a lit number loses the game, but the player may choose to stop after each roll. A win sees the $3,000 augmented to $10,000. Thoughts, anyone?
@NickCMedia6 жыл бұрын
Brad G Not bad, but up the stakes in the bonus round to at least $25,000, because $10K is not enough anymore.
@bradgandy026 жыл бұрын
I agree, but I was thinking from the perspective of if this sold back in 1985, but had been tweaked a little. $25,000 would be fine for that bonus round by today's standards, but I'd want it to be $30,000, ideally.

I think I know why the pilot didn't sell. In my opinion, the game itself was fine and so was the host. The only problem was the bad roll being the number 7. Now, that's okay, but there should have been more as the game went on like in High Rollers. You see, with the number 7 being the only bad roll in the game, the odds of each contestant not getting it are in their favor. I think that's why most of them went for it instead of either passing it or taking the money, because they thought, "What have I got to lose? It's only one roll. I can avoid that." I think that was really the difference between High Rollers and Lucky Numbers. In Lucky Numbers, they thought that, but in High Rollers, they thought, "Oh, boy! What am I going to do? If I roll this number, it's curtains for me. It's not like it was earlier in the game when everything was going my way. Oh, God! What am I going to do?" I also think that Debbie, although she mentioned the prizes won, was mostly wasted here. Other than that, she's just standing there when she, with what she brought to the table, should've been in the audience. It's like you almost forgot she was there. It's not like that with Vanna White on Wheel Of Fortune. She doesn't just stand there at the puzzle board and that's it. She reveals more and more of the puzzle, bit by bit. That's a very important job. Without it, we wouldn't have a game. Well, I've said all I needed to say. I hope I haven't offended anyone.
@sha112358 жыл бұрын
The thing with the 7 being the bad roll is that when you roll dice, that is the number that is the most likely to come up, since it has the most combinations.

I think a modern version of this game would work out. 2 contests would play 3 rounds. Bonus prizes would be replace by bonus cash amounts. In rounds 1 and 2, a correct answer was worth $500, 1,000 and an extra roll for a wild number, and the winning numbers were worth, $2,500. In round 3, questions would be worth $,1,000, $2,000 for wild numbers, and $5,000 for the winning number. In round 2, a special number was worth a trip instead of bonus cash. Whoever had the money at the end of 3 round would win the game and go on to play the bonus round. The Bonus Round would be he same except that lighting up a number was $5,000, $1,000 for a number that was already lite, $5,000 if a contest rolled a wild number while trying to roll the last digit. $100,000 was rewarded was rewarded if the contestant could successfully light up all the numbers
