Thanks for replying John, and thanks so much for coming to Golden-Road! You have awesome choices in favorite games, if I do say so myself. I love all of these for a wide variety of reasons.

Which did happen once-a player got all 3 balls in the circle, then won the Superball, which also was in the win circle for 3 grand more.

Awesome article, John! As someone who is a prominent moderator at a Price fanpage, Golden-Road.net, where I think you'd fit in amazingly well. I'd personally love to have you there. You know your stuff, you know the history, you explained in simple enough terms why the final round is not the Showcase Showdown, put in…
