With the report that we are getting at least 16 more primetime episodes this season, it should allow additional variety in the lineups since there are so many opportunities.
There are 6 current pricing games that have not appeared in a primetime episode. Which will still be left out of the nighttime fun by the end of the season?
-
The poll appears to not be working quite like I had hoped, I thought I gave everybody unlimited selections but you appear to only have one. If a mod can check it out it would be appreciated because there doesn't seem like much I can do on my end.
-
I probably bet for every pricing game not named Swap Meet to make an appearance if I had to choose 5 of 6. Stack The Deck isn't easy but it's always possible to win. Shopping Spree would be lovely at night. Swap Meet I can do without. I still have never heard that pricing game come up with casual gameshow fans (of TPIR) when it comes to gameshow discussion including active (and unactive) pricing games

I think Stack the Deck won't make it, since it's so difficult. I think Swap Meet and Shopping Spree won't make it, since their sets are dated but not in a cool way (yet).

They're out to kill me, I swear. regardless, I vote all will finally get in.

Thanks to whoever fixed the poll.
I voted for Check Game and Stack the Deck. Check is confusing enough so raising the range for nighttime could present some challenges.
I think they know Stack is naturally difficult - so is That's Too Much, but at least it's quick and opens the way to play some other more exciting games.

Has Pay The Rent been played at all in primetime?

Pay The Rent was played on the Geniuses special last season.

oh!
how quickly i forget when it was played in usual fashion and get melded with all the other losses
-
Card Game and Master Key I think will be next.
Swap Meet needs a set revamp. It looks horrendously outdated.
-
Check Game may be hard for people to understand, but if they tuned it right for primetime, they could try to force a win even for people who think that they are supposed to write the check for the price of the prize. (e.g., Do a winning total range of like $10,000 to $12,000; play it with a prize worth $5500 so writing the check for that amount would win. Or the range could be even higher, with the prize worth half of it.)

I always thought Swap Meet was meant to have a retro '50s or '60s look, á la Route 66. I think all it needs is a less '90s color palette.
I also think Swap Meet is just a dud of a game. The way the first prize is displayed out on the stage is kinda cool, but it's just a "point at a prize and let's see if you won" game that has four prizes in it, so it takes playings away from Race Game or Take Two.

I still believe that there's room for each of these PGs to eventually make their nighttime debut, but I certainly prefer some games more than others.
There's no reason why Card Game can't be played with its own adjustable opening bids. Perhaps even introduce a $4,000 range card as well. The Vegas-inspired set looks great at night, just like Sin City itself.
Since the displays for Check Game now handle five digits, I'd go all out and play it for a CAR. Just make the range $30,000-$35,000.
I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been a nighttime playing of Master Key, since its pretty well-liked, and can be played just like almost any other car game, even some others that aren't as well liked such as Gridlock or Line 'Em Up.
I feel Shopping Spree is very due to turn up and I enjoy it more than Swap Meet, but come on, if you're trying to have more wins at night, choose it over Danger Price.
I voted against Stack, but I wouldn't be surprised if it unexpectedly pops up, but if it does, at least play it for a luxury car or make the GPs noticeably easier (i.e. a bar of candy over a bag of chips with $4.99 the given price).
My primetime fantasy for Swap Meet: play for four trips, as you can easily have a resort credit at one hotel to make a match.

I've always thought of Swap Meet as "A three-prize game that desperately wants to be a four-prize game". Yeah, it's different, but spaghetti with chocolate sauce and topped with three week old butter is different, too.
A new color palette would hurt, either.

Check Game
-
Shopping Spree can be crossed off the list now.
-
Congratulations to Card Game being played yesterday and moving off the list! It only took about 50 years to make it on to a primetime show.
Check Game is now the oldest to not be played in primetime at about 40 years.
-
Key was exciting last night. And then there were 3.
-
Swap Meet showing up was like the fourth most exciting thing that happened last night.
Out of Check Game or Stack the Deck, I'd put money on Check Game appearing first.
-
I think they'd only play Check Game in primetime if they upped the range (maybe to $18,000-$19,000) for the playing or they gave the contestant double the prize and check amount in cash. I'm a little surprised Stack the Deck hasn't been played in primetime, though it is difficult to set up to be a gimme compared to most other car games.
-
I find it funny this post showed up and now all (as of this post) but two have shown up. You can't tell me someone from the show still pokes around.
Similar question: there can't be too many games that were primetime-eligible (active when those shows were taped/aired) that were not played? This obviously counts the 1986 specials.

Drew is on record on a CBS Morning interview before Season 52 speaking of his particular disdain for Stack the Deck so I never expect it to appear any more than it really needs to. Wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t get a play this series of Primetime eps.
And Check Game may not for the lower win totals without some add-on bonus.

Though it seems that doing such a bonus would be very easy, along the same line as the piggy bank one of this past week.
Just note that, if the contestant wins by being between the ranges, whatever the check is made out for will be multiplied by (whatever number).
That is, of course, if they didn't just play it and make a larger $ amount to begin with (like between $15,000 and $17,000 or whatever range, that's just an example), so the prize could be more valuable than would be the case on a normal show.

If they play Master Key on TPIR At Night again, I think they may just have it for a possible $150K cash prize (the locks will be $25K, $50K and $75K; getting the Master wins the $150K [because all the locks will be open]; getting the key for each individual lock wins that particular amount; but blanking out [getting the blank key] or missing out on the prizes gets absolutely nil [unless both keys were won, and the blank was one of them, in which case some money will be won, probably the top prize with the Master]).
