The Price is Right, headed into their 54th season debut another new game. And this one definitely pops out among the rest. Lion's Share is the first ever Price is Right game to have a spotlight sponsorship. Now yes you could say all games are technically sponsored. Like on games where they give away cars. You could say the game is sponsored by Ford or Jeep or Volkswagen. Or with smaller prizes like golf clubs or a new kitchen. But this game is the first to specifically be said that it is sponsored. Who by? Lion's Share is sponsored by... BetMGM... oh cool the Price is Right is teaching us to gamble. That's a first.

The game has that very African wild life forest feel going on with a giant golden Lion in the middle. To the left is a small area you step in where a bunch of balls will fly around you. Kind of like Chuck E. Cheese ticket blaster. And to the right of the Lion is a massive screen that shows all the numbers in order and highlights which balls you collected during your time in the blaster. 40 balls total fly around the blaster. The contestant gets 1 ball for free and can win up to 4 more balls. The way the contestant does that is by guessing whether the shown price of the smaller prize is true or false. 2 small balls fly around a smaller blaster and are eventually stopped and set down and whatever the order the balls are in is the price shown. So for example, the first prize is a hand rake and the balls after being flung around land to make a 17 dollar price. Which yeah that's going to be true. I don't see why a fucking hand rake would be 71 dollars. The contestant who played this game did end up getting all 5 balls. Behind each ball is a prize whether that be a boat, trip, car, cash, small prize, etc. But there's also a few balls that say lose it all. Now after you're done collecting your balls, you can pick them in any order you want. And the game is not over until you've picked all your options or you choose to stop early. If you select one of the choices you earned and it says lose it all, the game is not over if you still have a couple options to pick from. Now while I can't say for sure, it's very possible that the producers of the show wanted this to be a guaranteed win and have no lose it all balls just simply because it was the very first time this game was played. And typically when a new game is debuted, you want to see it be a win. And for the most part that has been the case. Back to '72 had a first play win. To The Penny had a first play win. Time is Money had a first play win. Albeit the contestant didn't win the full 20 grand, however all she had to do was move one item and that was enough to win her over 19 thousand dollars.

Call it a plan or a coincidence. Either way, I'm happy for this contestant winning over 30 grand in cash and prizes on Lion's Share. And a lot more can be won on this game. I hear there's some balls holding a hundred grand in cash in them. Hell if I ever went on this show, played Lion's den and got the 100 grand, I'd stop no question. Gambling can be a slippery slope. So hear my advice now. Instantly stop the moment you win. Even if it's a small win. If you leave having more than what you came in with, that's a win and you should stop. Doesn't matter if you leave with 1 penny or 1 million dollars more. That's the issue a lot of people have when it comes to gambling is that they'll keep going even after they've won. Only to then lose it all when they just won. And here's another piece of important advice, only take with you what you are willing to lose. Don't come into a casino with your fucking credit card. Bad things will happen fast. Say you go to Vegas and you take 5 thousand dollars with you. Be expected to lose that. But only if you know you can continue to walk just fine if you do. Man... I never thought this game would be teaching us about good mental morals. The Price is Right really does it all doesn't it? My first thought that this would be a game that they would not play very often. Like Triple Play, Golden Road, 3 Strikes, etc. Simply because the value of the prizes is unbelievably high. Especially for daytime Price is Right. But given that this contestant only won 30 grand in cash and prizes, I am thinking they might play this a bit more often.

But what do I know? I'm not the producer of The Price is Right.
