Ep 39. Press Your Luck - 1984 - Episode 119

In Press Your Luck - 1984 - Episode 119, contestants compete against each other in a game of luck and strategy. The objective of the game is to accumulate as many spins as possible and avoid landing on the deadly "Whammy," which wipes out a player's entire score.

The first round begins with three contestants answering multiple-choice questions, and then the game board lights up with various cash prizes and additional spin opportunities. The contestants take turns pressing a button to stop the flashing lights in hopes of landing on a cash prize or an extra spin. The player with the highest score at the end of the round advances to the final round, while the other two are eliminated.

In the second round, the remaining player takes their accumulated spins and spins the game board in hopes of landing on cash prizes and avoiding the Whammy. Each prize won is added to their score, and any Whammies landed on wipe out their total score up to that point. Players can choose to keep spinning until they decide to pass the remaining spins to their opponent, hoping that they will land on a Whammy.

The final round is a head-to-head match between the remaining player and a new challenger who has not yet played. The challenger spins the board first, and then the returning player follows. The contestant with the highest score at the end of the round wins the game and advances to the Bonus Round.

In the Bonus Round, the winner has an opportunity to take their accumulated earnings and wager them in a high-stakes game. They choose to stop the game board on a space and have a chance to multiply their winnings. The game continues until the contestant decides to stop or hits a Whammy, which wipes out all of their earnings.
