Cherries Wild (2021)
6/10

In a clever collaboration between Fox and Pepsi Wild Cherry, this gameshow features a 3-story slot machine. Jason Biggs is an amiable host for this lively contest that features trivia and slots.

Two-person teams answer trivia in the first two rounds to amass money, free spins, and wild cherries. All the trivia is about pop culture, so it might not appeal to some trivia buffs. The show is more about the emotional rollercoaster that comes from the high-risk gambles that occur in round three, called the Payday round.

In round three, the contestants use their accumulated spins to go for more money. It can be a risky proposition, because it an "X' comes up, it wipes out all the money from that spin. Contestants can also use their earned money to buy extra spins. Sometimes, those are actually smart choices. But we never know what the odds are for a given spin, which is a drawback of the show.

If a team can earn and spin five cherries, they win the top prize of $250,000. In the first two games I watched, significant cash was won.

Though the game play is somewhat complicated, excellent graphics make everything clear for the viewer.
