I agree a new season of Lingo for sure, it would be a great hour of game shows on GSN. Bingo - Lingo or Lingo- Bingo Sounds good to me. Bob Hi Everyone

Bingo America looks interesting to say the least.
I agree a new season of Lingo for sure, it would be a
great hour of game shows on GSN.
Bingo - Lingo or Lingo- Bingo
Sounds good to me.

A good breakdown might be something like this…

4- $100K
6- $50K
7- CAR (or $25K)
10- $10K
12- $5K
12- TRIP
12- $1000
12- $500

So the game wold go at least 2, but no more than 9 picks….but there’s a better than a 1 in 5,550 shot to win the $100K with this setup- I suspect that they want a reasonable chance that someone wins the top prize in this set of 40 shows (Russian Roulette had one in each of its two seasons)…

It's a good combination of skill and luck and there's just enough incentive to answer "dead draw" questions. I wonder if the 3rd game of a match is modified to go quicker a la Card Sharks. I don't mind the bonus round that much because it's a straight-up reward round. Now, common sense would say that it's very unlikely that there are 37 different prizes on the board. Maybe 10-20 is the real number with varying frequencies. I like the front game. It’s a good combination of skill and luck and there’s just enough incentive to answer “dead draw” questions.

I was thinking it was X dollars times the number on the ball added to the bank myself...

And I agree, Alex, generally the best bonus round games follow directly from the main game. In my opinion, Wheel, Password Plus, and Blockbusters have/had the right idea - Tic Tac Dough and Chain Reaction (although 'Go' works well on its own) seemed to be thrown in for lack of a better idea.
