PRIZES
THE WHAMMY! BOARD!
A cool closeup of the board from Round 2!
When Game Show Network gets greedy...
What's 30+ feet tall, has 18 30-inch color monitors, full of cash, prizes, and Whammies, and the coolest part of the Whammy! set? The Whammy! board. Even though it sports a cool new look, it still retains is PYL origin. Below is everything you'll find on the Whammy! board.
CA$H
GSN's attempt to revive the $100 space failed, as it was yanked after the first 2 episodes.
That's more like it. Still the best of the best.
Hey, why do you yell "Big Bucks" at the board if there's no cash on it? Ranges in Round 1 were $100-$1500, but soon the minimum changed to $300. In Round 2, ranges have always been $500 + a spin to $5000 + a spin. In Round 1, no squares offered an extra spin due to the changed rules (However, there was a prize that did, as you will read in the next section) In Round Two, very few squares offered one due to the larger amount of spins that could be earned. Many squares have their roots to the original (like $470 and $525) but some were crazy (like $740, $470's long lost cousin, and $900 and $1100) A new square in round two is $1000 or Spin Again. Everybody who's hit it thus far I'm sure has taken the $1000. And the beloved $2000 or Lose A Whammy is still there, thank goodness.
Oh, boy, what to do?

Whammy! has some traditional prizes on the board, like cruises, trips, and jewelry. But it also has some pretty bizarre things as well, like an outdoor fountain, a Lobstergram, and a years supply of M&M's? A cool space added to the Whammy! Board was the Pick a Prize space in Round 1. This highlighted all the prizes, gave a cool closeup of each, and then gave the player the option of any prize on the board. The best and hardest-to-earn prize in the game is the Gem Car. A player must hit the GEM (or Gem or Spin Again, as seen in later episodes) space in Round 1, the CAR (or CAR or a spin) space in Round Two. Then they must win the game. And to top it all off, they couldn't Whammy the entire game, as it forfeited the Gem Car. I'd love to see the day somebody wins this.
Lobstergram... the other white meat.
SPECIAL
Looks like you may have another decision after this decision!
I wonder if it has the Whammy! theme song?
You won't miss Pick a Corner too badly when you see the THREE WAY Move 1 Space squares! Most of the special squares were the same, besides Pick a Prize, which is described above.
