If it was to be set up on a turntable, wouldn't it usually be stored on some sort of riser to match the platform height? It seems to rival the height of the Big Wheel, which wouldn't allow it on the turntable.

That said, I'm curious if the white portion of the set is simply a counterweight, painted to match the floor (similar to That's Too Much). If that is true, then the entire circular game board must rotate.

Well, we'll know when it shows up on air!

They took down the video, but there was a Tweet up for about 5 minutes, which revealed one of the Million Dollar Games and the other game that isn't Back to '72.



It really looks like Penny Ante reworked to be a cash game. 5 pennies total, each floor of the money ladder has more incorrect choices.

It's shaped like a penny. I give it a 30% chance they just call it Penny Ante again.

Who thinks we don't have enough cash games, honestly?

At least it's our first brown/copper-colored game since ... oh ... hm ...

Torgo has left the building. John and I never really cared for the way he presented himself.

It looks like e pluribus unum on the bottom also. I would say this certainly does look like a reworked Penny Ante as a cash game.

Let's all hope the Double Dare sound effect is part of the new game!

A new variant on Penny Ante. It looks like it uses a money ladder: the higher the cash, the fewer choices you are given.

I think it's actually the opposite, which would fit the general theme for the show over the years, wherein it gets harder each step up in games like this, not easier.

Do we know if contestants still have to social distance themselves away from Drew? Its kinda hard to tell in the trailers and images.

From the images on the ViacomCBS Press Express, it looks like yes.

SPOILER ALERT: one of the images indirectly shows a million dollar game.

I thought it was fairly clear from even the ads that was the case. I was hoping not but.....not entirely surprised.

I would have been surprised if they weren't social distancing.  Sadly, there has been an uptick, but even without one, I think Drew, Fremantle, and whomever (definitely Drew IMO & especially TPTB) would still strive toward caution at least to start the year

Entertainment Tonight had a bit on the new game "Back To '72" where Kevin Frasier played it. 

From what I gather, you have three prizes that the show actually gave away in 1972.  You turn the TV dial to guess the price of each.  You have to be off by no more than $50 total to win the game (so, it's a little like Lucky 7).

Does that sound accurate or am I way off base?
