You must wisely choose whether to play or pass, knowing that a whammy is a possible result for you and your competitors.
Playing gives you a chance to make some cash, however, if you hit one of the dreaded whammies, you lose all the money you've accumulated. When you play for the money you are given two options: play or pass. After the round of trivia, and after all the spins have been collected, you try to “Win some bucks and Press Your Luck,” on the Whammy infested Press Your Luck board. Correct answers after he initial buzz are only rewarded with 1 spin. However, if you do not have the fastest finger you get a chance to guess the answer to the multiple choice question with one of the wrong answers removed. If you are the first to “buzz in” and answer you are awarded three spins for your correct answer. It is broken into two rounds, each starting with 4 trivia questions. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, Press Your Luck combines trivia, strategy, and chance into a fun game.
