of increasing value every time three jokers came up. If a devil appeared at any time, the round ended and they lost all prizes accumulated to that point. The contestant could end the round after any safe spin and keep the prizes they had won. Originally, the contestant was given up to four spins, with a large prize such as a car or trip at stake on the last one. For a brief period, the prize for a spin was not revealed until after the wheels had stopped. In 1973, to avoid confusion between the wheels used in the main game and bonus round, the jokers on the bonus round wheels were marked with the word "Joker" instead of the word "Wild". Face the Devil: Starting around May 1974, the "Face the Devil" round described above had been implemented. Joker's Jackpot Early in the show's run, returning champions were competing for a chance to win the Joker's Jackpot, an accruing cash jackpot that started at $2,500. Contestants won this jackpot if they won three (originally four) consecutive games. After the "Jokers and Devils" bonus round stopped offering a fourth prize, a new automobile was added to the jackpot instead. However, if the champion was defeated, all of their cash winnings were forfeited to the jackpot, though prizes won in the bonus round were theirs to keep. After every game, the champion decided whether to play on for a chance to win the jackpot or play it safe and retire from the show with their winnings to that point. The jackpot continued to build until it reached $25,000, which was at the time CBS's winnings limit for game show contestants. Originally, after winning the Joker's Jackpot, the champion was retired undefeated, but in February 1973 the rules were changed to allow champions to continue playing until either being defeated or reaching the maximum CBS winnings limit. Upon implementation of the "Face the Devil" bonus round, the Joker's Jackpot was discontinued. Contestants kept whatever they earned, while still retiring after winning $25,000. Winning five straight games, in multiples of five, earned the contestant a car. Tournament of Champions From 1977 through 1980, an annual tournament of champions was held. The first tournament was won by Frank Dillon, a contestant on the CBS network series who won $25,000 in his initial run, and the top prize was $50,000 in cash and merchandise. Dillon
