given two turns at the outset. On each turn, they released the pendulum and won the amount over which it came to rest, and that amount was changed to a "Wipe Out" space. If the pendulum stopped on "Wipe Out" during the second turn, the contestant lost all money from the first one. After the second turn, the largest amount still in play was multiplied by five, for a potential maximum of $100,000, and the smallest one was replaced by "Wipe Out." The contestant could stop at this point and keep all money won in the first two turns, or take one more turn in an attempt to raise their winnings. The highest possible payout was $127,000. Home Run (a.k.a. Touchdown, Fast Break, and Home Stretch) Three figures representing sports players (orange, blue, yellow) were placed on a board, three steps away from a finish line. The contestant chose one number at a time from a second board of 12; each number hid one of the three players, who would then move one step ahead. The orange and blue players respectively awarded $!,000 and $10,000 if they crossed the finish line first. The prize for a yellow win was determined by the contestant, who chose one of four face-down cards before the game began: one each of $25,000, $50,000, $75,000, and $100,000. The theme of the game changed to match the sports season being played at the time (baseball, football, basketball); for the 1997 episode filmed at Arlington Race Course, a horse racing theme was used. The prize for an orange win was $1 in the first few episodes when this game was played. Mismatch Two containers held three balls each (one apiece of red, yellow, and green). The contestant was spotted $5,000 and drew one ball from the container on their right to establish a "base" color. They then drew three balls from the left container, one at a time; each ball was replaced after it was drawn. Every time the contestant drew a ball different from the base color, they won an additional $5,000; there was no penalty for a match. After the third draw, the contestant could end the game and keep all winnings or attempt one last draw. A second ball in the base color would be added to the left container, and the total was tripled if the contestant did not match it or halved
