Maybe offer a few automatic bailouts should be offered whether you find a bailout card or not. One for say, 10% if you place five cards, and then after 9 cards, maybe 20-25% of the final amount.
Either that or a small amount of money for each card placed, and you can walk with that.[/quote]If I'm producing, I ditch the bail out cards, and the Key Helps. If you place all ten cards sequentially, you win the total prizes on the board. I also allow the contestant to nominate two "pit stop" chances along the game, but only after three cards are on the board. If you reach that plateau, you can take the money that goes with that amount and wuss out, or press on and chuck the safety net.
In terms of the computer version, I would straight away get rid of the ascending cash values. I'd prefer not to have to wait that long to find out my card was $97,000."
