| ALL I NEED IS CASH... |

 |
| Some squares, like this one, offered cash and an extra spin. $750 + one spin (seen after the color touchup) was the highest amount offered with an extra spin in round 1. |
| Cash squares were one of four types of squares a player could land on; the most common. If you didn't know these were on the board, turn it on now and this time really look at the board. Anyways, the cash values in round one at first ranged from $100-$1250, the Big Bucks square containing $750, $1000, and $1250. $100 and $150 were soon yanked off the board altogether, and $750 was replaced with $1500, changing the ranges to $100 + One Spin-$1500. Speaking of which, some squares offered extra spins. This meant that the player won the amount of cash and didn't lose the spin they just took. In Round 1, there were very few squares that offered extra spins, although square 18 guaranteed one ($100, $200, and $300, all with another spin). |
| $2000 or LOSE-1-WHAMMY was a miracle for those in fear of being knocked out of the game. It debuted in September 1984. |
| In round 2, the ranges were always $500 to $5000 + One Spin. The Big Bucks square this time contained $3000, $4000, and $5000, all with extra spins. This, along with square 8 guaranteed extra spins, although 8 did not get its spins till around early 1984. Another interesting square was the $2000 or LOSE-1-WHAMMY square, also debuting in 1984. This gave the player the option of taking $2000 OR (not AND) removing a Whammy from their Whammy count. This was a miracle for those with 3 Whammies and the fear of being knocked out of the game. Almost every contestant who had 3 Whammies and landed on this chose to get rid of the Whammy. |
