It was winter, for ice cream – not the season, and all, what could he do – watch, how members from all over the country answer tacky trivia questions and gamble on the Big Board(one of the stages of this TV game)
The Big Board was a randomized grid of 18 squares in roulette style with different prizes: thousands of dollars in cash, dream vacation, free moves and the so-called “Whammies” – square with red devil, if the player hits it – he went bankrupt and lost all the accumulated money. Michael enjoyed watching the contestants win, lose and try their luck. If you're lucky, the participant could take home several thousand dollars. Not bad, thought Larsen.
