Here are the round types: = Toss Up Rounds During a Toss Up Round, the letters are shown on the Puzzle Board until a player rings in the solves the puzzle. If the solution is wrong, then that player is locked out for the remaining duration of the Toss Up, but if the player is right, then that player wins what's in the Toss Up. The current active Toss Ups for the beginning of the game were $1,000 & $2,000. For Round 4's Toss Up, it used to be $3,000, but in 2019, it was changed to a Triple Toss Up, in which 3 puzzles are shown in the same Clue with each one being worth $2,000 each.
= Jackpot Lasting from 1996 to 2013 during the Nighttime Run, the Jackpot Round starts with the Jackpot being set at $5,000 (or sometimes $10,000) in a progressive state. In other words, every time a player spins the wheel on a dollar amount, the Jackpot will increase by that dollar amount. If a player lands on the Jackpot Space, guesses a letter correctly that's on the Puzzle Board then solves the puzzle, that player will win what's in the Jackpot as its added to the Player's Round Score.
= Mystery Introduced in 2002, the current Mystery Round works like this: There's 2 Mystery Wedges shown on the board facing upwards (?$,1000). One of them contains a $10,000 Prize Wedge while the other contains a Bankrupt. After a player lands on the Mystery Space & guesses a letter correctly, the player can either take the $1,000 per letter or Flip the Mystery Space to see if it contains $10,000. After the Mystery Space is flipped, $10,000 Prize or Bankrupt, the remaining Mystery Space becomes a $1,000 Space.
= Express Introduced in 2013, the Express Round works like this: After a player lands on the Mystery Space & guesses a letter correctly, the player can either take the $1,000 per letter or go into Express Mode. When the Player goes into Express Mode, the player can continue calling letters for $1,000, buy Vowels for $250 until the player solves the puzzle. However, if a player calls a letter that's not in the puzzle, its a Bankrupt.
= Prize Puzzle Introduced in 2003, the player who solves the puzzle in that round awards a prize which will be added to the player's round total.
= Speed Up Round Known as the Final Spin, which is near the end of the game due to Time Constraints in which the Host gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Before, the value of each letter would be whatever the wheel lands on while vowels are worth nothing. But starting in 1999, it would be $1,000, plus whatever the wheel lands on (if the wheel lands on $550, then each letter are worth $1,550). After guessing a letter the player must then solve the puzzle before his or her turn ends then proceeds to the next player.
= Bonus Round The Player who banks the most money at the end of the game, proceeds to the bonus round for a shot at winning a great prize. In the current version of Wheel, starting in 2001, the player would spin the Bonus Wheel to select a Prize Envelope. After the Wheel lands on the Prize Envelope, the player is given a puzzle where the letters: R, S, T, L, N & E are shown then must give 3 more constants & 1 vowel. Also in the Television show, if a player manages to bring the Wild Card to the Bonus Round without landing on bankrupt, that player gets to give 1 extra constant. After that the player must then solve the puzzle. At the end of the Bonus Round, the Prize Envelope would then be opened, win or lose, to show what the prize was.
= Showroom Shopping From 1975-1989, this took place in between rounds, after the player solves the puzzle that player can spend his or her round earnings on prizes in a showroom shopping segment. If a player doesn't have enough money to buy a prize, that player can choose to place the remainder on a Gift Certificate or on Account. If a player places the remainder on Account, it's carried over to the next round but the Account Score is lost if a player lands on Bankrupt, but if its placed on a Gift Certificate, that remainder is secured. The most iconic part of the Showroom Shopping round that's shown in the Television show was a ceramic Dalmatian that is shown. The Dalmatian Statue's name was Sheldon.

Cool. When Wheel of Fortune Daytime was airing from 1981-1991, it was on at 10AM every morning on NBC or CBS.
If my avi was in the Jackpot Round, then landed on the Jackpot with the Jackpot over $5,000, that avi would guess a correct letter then solve it right away to win the Jackpot.

I almost forgot. Wheel of Fortune is known for doing themed shows each week. Which Themed version of Wheel Daytime would your avi be in?
Here's some examples: Retro Teen College Couples Halloween Thanksgiving Christmas Easter Spring Summer Fall Winter Universal Disney Great Outdoors Around the World Modern Sweet Home Hollywood and more...

So if your avi made to the Bonus Round, would your avi spin the bonus wheel in hopes of landing on $100,000?
Definitely! biggrin
After Game 1 of Wheel of Fortune Daytime is over, I'll make some adjustments to the guild game. So that the Surprise Space is not overwritten with a Prize Space. Making the Surprise Space its own space for the whole game & with each new round, if the Surprise Space has been claimed, a new one will be added except Round 5 which is the Speed Up Round.
You know what the Speed Up Round is? If not, then I'll tell you. Sometimes, after a few Rounds, the next round starts as normal, commercial or no commercial break, the Host will state that since today's game is almost out of time, he gives the wheel a Final Spin. In Classic Wheel, letters are worth the amount the wheel lands on while vowels are worth nothing. But in Modern iterations, letters are worth $1,000 plus an additional amount that the wheel lands on, starting the Speed Up Round.
During the Speed Up Round, a player guesses a letter that's in the puzzle, then needs to solve it. If a player guesses a letter that's not present or is unable to solve it, then that player loses a turn and Speed Up gameplay proceeds to the next player.

I remember that. I like to watch Wheel of Fortune with my Grandma when I visit. ^^
I forgot to mention, Wheel of Fortune changed out their Puzzle Board from Letter Turning to Letter Activating.
On that day, February 21, 1997, during Friends Week in the Arizona Road Trip Show, the Post Game showed the last words of the Old Puzzle Board: "FOR SALE". I saw that episode when I was 9 years old & it was a brief last moment of nostalgia since the unveiling of the new Puzzle Board would not be shown until after the weekend.
After that episode was a Movie that followed on ABC, "The Flintstones" and it was a good movie but that's another story.
On the night of February 24, 1997, Wheel of Fortune unveiled their new Puzzle Board & it was a fantastic episode, but before the unveiling, they had to dismantle the old puzzle board which was shown being unplugged and packed away

That's neat. I was 6 years old then, I don't think I watched it. I do remember the Flintstones movie though.

The old Puzzle Board on the Television show lasted from 1981 to 1997 while the Pilot Puzzle Board lasted from 1974 to 1981.
The show also had a WHEEL Envelope system which lasted from 1989 to 2000. By 2001, they switched to a Bonus Wheel which has 24 Prize Envelopes instead of 5: 11 Cash Prize Envelopes 12 Prize Envelopes and 1 Envelope contained either a $100,000 or $1 Million Dollars
