Also, in early episodes of this season, the bonus round cash spiel is "How's this for cash, you could win anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000, or of course, the big $100,000!" The spiel is later changed to "There's lots of reasons to win cash, from $25,000 to $50,000, or you could spin and win $100,000!" The bonus round win graphics for cash prizes ranging from $30,000 to $50,000 are like the $25,000 win graphic first used last season. This lasts until at least the end of Season 23. After the $50,000 envelope opens, the camera cuts to center stage for the announcement of the $100,000 cash prize. When they are described by Charlie leading out of the final round, there is an animation of the Bonus Wheel slowly spinning, as each amount's envelope flies out and opens revealing the new values. The extra cash amounts added to the Bonus Wheel for the Big Money Week of February 18-22, 2002 become permanent.Karen Griffith and Steve Schwartz became senior producers.Possibly in relation to the score display change, the scoreboard frames now remain off regardless of turn, although the contestant arrows below still blink.At the start of each show, the scoreboards each show one word in the show's title (though not in the logo's font) upon the first letter being revealed in the $1,000 Toss-Up, they disappear via an "explosion" graphic. If a contestant hits Bankrupt, the words are shown on the display (with a black background) for a few seconds. Whenever a score is altered, it swivels as it morphs to the new score. Scores are displayed in a white Impact font. These displays are colored the same as the respective arrows below them, with an "embossed" texture of the Bankrupt-$600-$400-$300-Lose A Turn section of the Wheel as a background. The eggcrate score displays are replaced with computer-generated panel displays.Almost all Wheel Prizes are trips, cash awards, or credit towards purchases from a sponsored company.A second music cue is added to the Bonus Round, between the end of the Bonus Wheel music cue and the start of the timer.There is now a music cue for the Final Spin.The Toss-Up cue is rearranged with a faster tempo and ticking percussion added.Both puzzle-solve cues are changed, with the main cue extending the final note from the Toss-Up solve cue.The closing version of "Happy Wheels" is slightly re-orchestrated with more saxophones instead of electric guitars.Several changes are made to the music package:.In addition, puzzles using only one line and/or fewer than ten letters disappear from the main game almost entirely. The long-standing practice of generally using a short puzzle in Round 1 seems to disappear around this point.The initial wedge design is black, with a gold question mark in a blue circle at the top of the wedge, and "$500" written in golden yellow underneath.They are initially located over the green $500 and the orange-yellow $500.If one is flipped over, the other functions as a $500 space for the rest of the round.If one is landed on, a synthesized chord and "tinkle" sound effect plays.Initially they are worth $500 per letter this amount may be kept, or forfeited for a chance to see if the reverse contains a prize or a Bankrupt.During the interviews, the camera reverts to showing the contestant area from center stage, as had been done prior to Season 18.Perhaps as a result, the Wheel is now slightly looser than in Seasons 17-19. The pegs are changed to shorter, bronze-colored ones.The $10,000 Wedge is moved again, to Round 1 on the orange $800. ![]() The second Bankrupt in Round 3 moves to the purple $600 next to $3,500.
