Talk:The Joker's Wild

message: I agree that there needs to be a rewrite. I would like to know more about the set design, from the giant slot machine, the use of rear projection in various Barry-Enright shows, and exactly WHEN did The Joker's Wild adapt the look of Bullseye? The Joker's Wild set since became very nice, and looks more like a casino setting. In-Correct (talk) 04:06, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I propose a theory about the use of celebrities for the pilot. As I understand, CBS back in the sixties did not want game shows on their daytime schedule (save for Password). But, on NBC, Hollywood Squares began to get strong ratings (not right away, but eventually). CBS passed on HS in 1965. Could it be that Barry tailored the show to include celebrities because CBS wanted to counterprogram HS? What are your thoughts?

message: On a spin with a pair and a joker, if the player were to play the pair for $100, they might as well boost the value to $200 by using the Joker as well, by using the Joker as the displayed category. Playing the pair by itself for $100 makes no sense in this situation.
:Actually, it does make sense if the spinning player was ahead and only needed $100 to win.  For example, say the spinner has $400 and the opponent has $300.  The spin is a pair and a joker.  Say the spinner uses the joker and takes the category for $200.  If the spinner then misses the question, the opponent can answer the question and win the game.  But if the spinner opts to not use the joker and takes the category for only $100, the player can still win with a correct answer, but the opponent could only reach $400 if the spinner missed the question.  For this reason, it was common for players to choose to not use their jokers if the base value for the category was enough to win.  -- Seitz 19:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Split proposal 

message: In regards to this claim:
>>Only one devil is used on the wheels, and is rotated from one window to another after each bonus game. <<
I've watched the bonus round in slow motion on my VCR, and from what I can tell, there are actually TWO Devils on one of the wheels.  It's true that only one of the three wheels contains a Devil, but it looks like there are two Devils on that wheel.
Can anyone else confirm this?

thread_title: File:Tjwcbs.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: There is presently a question in debate over the rules of the game, specifically whether a contestant was allowed to "split" a natural pair or triple (that is, play a triple as if it were a single or double or a pair as if it was a single).  There are valid strategic cases for doing so.  The dispute centers over whether the rules permitted splitting. Dkendr (talk) 04:09, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You have provided no evidence for  in which you make the claim. Contestants cannot split natural pairs nor natural triples. Contestants can choose not to use a joker, but if two or three of the same category appears, natural matches cannot be split. AldezD (talk) 12:53, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
