• In the Chips - 12 Poker Chips are placed on the screen, and behind 7 of them there are dollar amounts ranging from $25 to $250; the other 5 are strikes. The viewer selects chips one at a time in the hope of finding money amounts. Once the player finds two strikes they have the option to quit the game; if they find three strikes they lose all of the money they had accumulated. The game is often played under other names and themes. An occasionally used variant called "The Color of Cash" is also played; in this variant, the viewer selects from a board of 9 spaces (three have $25, three have $50, and three have either $75 or $100). In this variant, the game ends when the player finds three of the same money amount, however, the player keeps all of the money they uncover. Like "In the Chips," "The Color of Cash" is also played under other names and themes.
• King of the Mountain - Two contestants, one a returning champion, compete. The champion selects a category from a choice of three, and is asked five questions in that category, which they must answer as fast as they can; a clock counts up from 0.0 and stops once the champion has attempted all five questions. The challenger then selects one of the other two categories, and is also asked five questions, while the clock runs back down to zero. To win, the challenger must match the champion's score in a faster time, otherwise, the champion wins. The winner receives $250 (originally $500) and plays again the next time. Originally also, a contestant who won five games won a motor scooter as a bonus prize.
• Double Word Score - The contestant is shown a five or six-letter word, and is allowed 45 seconds to make as many words (must be at least three letters in length) from the letters of that word as he or she can. The player must state the word, and then spell it. Each word is worth $25. In addition, there is at least one other five or six-letter word that can be made from all the letters of the base word; for each word the contestant makes using all the letters in the base word, they win a further $100.
• Time Capsule - The contestant is asked up to 10 questions relating to a previous year. The contestant has 60 seconds to answer as many of the questions as possible at $25 per question.
• Win or Wonk - Three objects are presented to the contestant. One of the objects has a medium-sized prize attached to it, another corresponds to a grand prize, and the third has a worthless prize (the "Wonk" prize). The contestant selects one of the objects. Before playing out the game, the host reveals the location of the medium prize and offers the contestant that prize to quit out. (If the contestant selected the medium prize initially, they can give it up to select again.) If the contestant plays on, he or she wins the prize, good or bad, attached to the selected object. This game is often played under other names and themes; when played for cash, the amounts are usually either $50 and $150 or $100 and $250. One variant, played under the name "Golden Ticket," had the player selecting numbers to find two halves of a prize; the grand prize was printed on a "golden ticket," the medium-sized prize on a "silver ticket", and the "Wonk" prize on a "bronze ticket." In this variant, once the player has found one half of the "Wonk" prize, they have the option of accepting a smaller prize (usually offered on the first question in other games) as a buy-out.
• Zig Zag - The contestant is given one free Zig Zag chip and asked two questions on a specific subject. For each correct answer, the player is given another Zig Zag chip. After the questions, an assistant drops the chips one at a time down a peg-filled board, similar to the game Plinko on The Price is Right; the contestant is allowed to select the starting position of each chip. The contestant wins the amount of money that each chip lands in, either $50, $75, or $150; a contestant is thus guaranteed to win at least $50, but can win as much as $450.
• Cash Carousel - The contestant is given one selection from among six on-screen horses, and can win two more selections by answering questions. After the questions, the contestant selects their horses, and wins the money behind each of the horses they pick. Each horse hides a money amount from $25 to $250.
