Celebrity Blackjack

In this popular spin-off game, "World Series of Blackjack," four celebrities compete to go against the dealer by coming closer to 21 points a hand, without going over. Number cards (including the 10) are worth their face value, face cards are worth 10 (meaning a jack, king or queen), and the ace is worth either 1 or 11 points (on a contestant's choice). In every round, each celebrity will be staked $100,000. For hands 1-11, the minimum wager is $1,000 and the maximum wager will be $25,000. Starting with hand 11, the minimum wager will be increased to $5,000 and no celebrity can make any maximum wagers at this point, therefore a contestant can wager everything they have on a given hand. If a celebrity accumulates 5 cards without going over 21, that celebrity is an automatic winner and instantly receives a payment of 1:1 on their bet. Also on deck, each card contains 6 jokers. When a contestant is dealt a joker card as one of the first 2 cards, they will have a decision to replace that card with any other card that's on the table once each player has received their first two cards. They can also take the dealer's up card, if they wish.

The Wall

6 Seasons
The Wall is 4 stories high and "can change lives". The game is played by two people together. The first portion of the game is Freefall. Contestants must answer questions before balls complete their free fall down the Wall - correct responses earn prize money (green ball), incorrect answers result in prize money being removed (red ball). This portion of the game results in a total dollar amount, that amount must be positive in order to move forward. The second portion of the game involves one of the two contestants going into isolation. Round two starts with two green balls, and two red balls. The player in isolation answers questions "under stressful situations" to determine the color assigned to the remaining balls. Up to six balls can be earned by answering 3 questions. The dollar amount earned in round one is added to whatever is earned in round 2. Players cannot leave this round with less than $0 even if the red balls result in amounts larger than the green balls plus the earnings from round one. The third portion of the game leaves the same contestant in isolation Four green and four red balls are given to start the third round. The player in isolation answers three more questions that can earn up to six balls (again earning green balls for correct answers, red balls for incorrect). The player in isolation then chooses whether to leave the game with the the guaranteed earnings from round 1 plus $20 thousand for each correct answer (not knowing how many questions were correct), or the result of round 2 and round 3.
