Spin for Riches, stylized as $pin for Riches, is a game show on Game Show Island. It is held in Miami and hosted by the Spin for Riches Host. The game show is a parody of Wheel of Fortune.

Gameplay[]

Spin for Riches features three contestants who take turns spinning a wheel to spell out certain words. A hint is given at the beginning of each round. The wheel contains letters, "?" symbols, and a radioactive symbol. If a radioactive symbol is spun, the player's turn ends. If a letter is chosen, it is revealed how many of the depicted letter are in the phrase, and the spots where the letters go are filled in. If there are none of the letter in the phrase, the player's turn ends. If a "?" is spun, then the player gets to choose their own letter to guess. Regardless of which method is used, if the player's letter is correct, they get to spin the wheel again. If the player knows the answer, they may use up a turn guessing and dragging letters into the blank spots. If they get the answer correct, they win the round. Otherwise, their turn ends. The game goes on for three rounds, and the player with the most money wins.
