When the show expanded from a half hour to an hour, the Showcase Showdown was introduced. The three contestants who won their way up on stage during the first half of the show spun a wheel marked with values of 5¢, 10¢, 15¢, etc. through to $1. The objective was the build up a score as close to $1 as possible without going over in one or two spins of the wheel with anything in the second spin being added to the value spun in the first spin. The player who had the score nearest to $1 without going over advanced to the Showcase. As an added bonus, contestants were awarded a $1,000 bonus if they raised $1 in one spin or a combination of two spins in 1975. Later, a bonus spin was added after winning $1,000 for a chance to win an extra $5,000 (increased to $10,000 later) for landing on either 5¢ or 15¢ spaces adjacent to the $1 space. If they spun $1 in the bonus spin and additional $10,000 (later $25,000) was awarded.
