Game Play!

Second Chance!

Cash Challenge / Unlimited Winning!
- Cash Challenge winners will trade-in their initial game prize total for a $50,000 or $75,000 championship total. If their luck continues, what happens next is really exciting! Returning Champions play until their luck runs out and that could mean $50,000 turning into $100,000 that can turn into $200,000 that can turn into $300,000, …and on and on and on!
