Season Two brings along a new shape to the board. For the first time ever, the big cash square now occupies the center of the board, as does Big Bucks down below. A new default color scheme is used, along with the new color red, with light blue making a return visit. Yellow is now only used for the Whammies, who now come in three different poses (not counting the Double Whammy pose)! The Big Bank spaces premier in this season, and the Gem Car is replaced with a top half and bottom half of a car key (the same "collect both halves" idea applies) and the grand prize is a Suzuki Aerio SX, worth $16,074.

The numbering scheme shown here is the one used on Jason Wuthrich's Whammy! GameControl.

New Board! (R1)
This board has gotten a new
shape (and some rearranged
values in the process), but
the basic idea is the same
from Season One. There is
only one "Top Key" on this
board (as there was one
Gem previously), but the Big
Bank ensures that a stolen
key can be recovered. Also
notice the daring Advance 3
space in [10]. 		  Big Bank

*During T# 90 (Larson rematch), Pick-A-Prize is replaced with a prize, and a second key
is added in [9] -- not in the corner as would be expected.

Each time Whammies are added to the board, the following poses are used:
  • Pass 1: Dance Whammies
  • Pass 2: Grin
  • Pass 3: Tongue ([14] skipped on Larson ep)
  • Pass 4: Dance
(Different poses were added during the Tournament of Losers episode; see below for a list.)

In addition to the changes
mentioned for R1, the Double
Whammies got a new pose.
Players aren't as likely now
to get Double Whammied,
with only 6 Doubles (but 5
regulars). There is also an
"Advance 4" space, and
$1000/Spin drops to $555. 		  Dance

*If no keys were hit in R1, the "Bottom Key" spaces became prizes. Because of the Big
Bank, a Whammy could take the "Top Key" card and the "Bottom Key" spaced remained
on the board.

During T# 84, there was a Double Whammy in [16].

a second Top Key has been

Tournament of Champions
elimination episodes. No
keys are up for the tourna-

a chance to win the Suzuki
for the Final. (Winner of the
TOL gets a trip to Maui.)
