Loteria Loca would make a great casino concept, including a slots network with the same symbols seen on the show on the machines themselves, with lucky jackpot winners competing on a live show, and perhaps give Sheila E a gig for her fans by performing her hits during normal commercial breaks.
But I like how Raid The Cage resembles similar "grab everything before times run out" shows like Fun House, the second season of Video Power, and Takeshi's Castle. Sure, it's still filler, but quite honestly, game shows aren't really built for primetime outside of the summer or closer to the year-end holidays, unless if the franchise is well established. It's a shame that we're now getting reruns during a sweeps period during a non-weekend night that would belong more on a cable network like TNT, but that's what strikes will do.
