Each player will take up to two spins of the wheel, the wheel must go all the way around at least one time, or the contestant in control would get jeered and must do it again. The wheel is positioned on $1.00 prior to each spin. The object of the game is to come as close as you can to $1.00 without going over. If the coin shows tails, the second contestant goes first. If the coin shows heads, the first contestant goes first. If two contestants winnings are equal, they will have a coin toss backstage to decide who goes first. The contestants are lined up by their winnings (lowest to highest). The amounts on the wheel are for gameplay purposes only, but there is a chance to win real money (see below).
The game is played on a carnival wheel dubbed 'the Big Wheel,' which is filled with various cent values in increments of fives from 5¢ up to $1.00.
