September 9, 1985 ( 1985-09-09)–September 5, 1986 ( 1986-09-05) (daily) Chronology Preceded by (1956–65) Related shows (1994–95) External links The Price Is Right is an American television created by,. The show revolves around contestants competing by identifying accurate pricing of merchandise to win cash and prizes. Contestants are selected from the studio audience when the announcer states the show's famous catchphrase, 'Come on down!' The program premiered on September 4, 1972, on. Was the series' longest-running host from its 1972 debut until his retirement in June 2007, when took over. Barker was accompanied by a series of announcers, beginning with, followed by and then. In April 2011, became the announcer.
The show has used several models, most notably,. While retaining some elements of the, the 1972 version has added many new distinctive gameplay elements. The Price Is Right has aired over 8,000 episodes since its debut and is one of the network series in United States television history.
In a 2007 article, named The Price Is Right the 'greatest game show of all time.' The show's 47th season premiered on September 17, 2018. Contents. Gameplay The gameplay of the show consists of four distinct competition elements, in which nine preliminary contestants (or six, depending on the episode's running time) are eventually narrowed to two finalists who compete in the game's final element, the 'Showcase'. One Bid At the beginning of the show, four contestants are called from the audience by the announcer to take a spot in the front row behind bidding podiums, which are embedded into the front edge of the stage.
This area is known as 'Contestants' Row'. The announcer shouts 'Come on down!' After calling each selected contestant's name, a phrase which has become a of the show. The four contestants in Contestants' Row compete in a bidding round to determine which contestant will play the next pricing game (the round is known as 'One Bid,' which gets its name and format from one of two types of bidding rounds that existed on the ). A prize is shown and each contestant gives a single bid for the item.
In the first One-Bid game of each episode, bidding begins with the contestant on the viewer's left-to-right. In subsequent One-Bid rounds, the order of bidding still moves from the viewer's left-to-right, but it begins with the contestant most recently called down. Contestants are instructed to bid in whole dollars since the retail price of the item is rounded to the nearest dollar and another contestant's bid cannot be duplicated.
The contestant whose bid is closest to the actual retail price of the prize without going over wins that prize and gets to play the subsequent pricing game. If all four contestants overbid, several short buzzer tones sound, the lowest bid is announced and the bids are erased. The host then instructs the contestants to re-bid below the lowest previous bid. If a contestant bids the actual retail price, a bell rings and the contestant wins a cash bonus in addition to the prize. From the introduction of the bonus in 1977 until 1998, the 'perfect bid' bonus was $100; it was permanently increased to the current $500 in 1998.
On The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular, the bonus was $1,000. After each pricing game except the final one, another contestant is called to 'come on down' to fill the spot of the contestant who played the previous pricing game. The newest contestant bids first in each One Bid round. Contestants who fail to win a One Bid round—thus never making it onstage to play a pricing game—receive, currently $300, often sponsored by companies revealed by the announcer near the end of the show, before the Showcase. Pricing games. See also: After winning the One Bid, the contestant joins the host onstage for the opportunity to win additional prizes or cash by playing a pricing game.
After the pricing game ends, a new contestant is selected for Contestants' Row and the process is repeated. Six pricing games are played on each hour-long episode; three games per episode were played in the original half-hour format. Pricing game formats vary widely, ranging from simple dilemma games in which a contestant chooses one of two options to win to complex games of chance or skill in which guessing prices increases the odds of winning. On a typical hour-long episode, two games are played for a car, one game is played for a cash prize and the other three games offer expensive household merchandise or trips.
Usually, at least one of the six games involves the pricing of grocery items, while another usually involves smaller prizes that can be used to win a larger prize package. Originally, five pricing games were in the rotation. Since then, more games have been created and added to the rotation and, starting with the 60-minute expansion in 1975, the rate at which games premiered increased. Some pricing games were eventually discontinued, while others have been a mainstay since the show's debut in 1972. As of 2017, the rotation is among 77 games.
On the hosted by, and other aesthetic changes were made. Notably, the grocery products used in some games on the daytime version were replaced by small merchandise prizes, generally valued at less than $100. Beginning in 2008, episodes of The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular featured which rewarded a $1 million bonus to the contestant if specific goals were achieved while playing the pricing game. Showcase Showdown. 'Showcase Showdown' redirects here.
For the band, see. Since the show's expansion to 60 minutes in 1975, each episode features two playings of the Showcase Showdown, occurring after the third and sixth pricing games. Each playing features the three contestants who played the preceding pricing games spinning 'The Big Wheel' to determine who advances to the Showcase, the show's finale.
The contestants play in the order of the value of his or her winnings thus far (including the One Bid), with the contestant who has won the most spinning last. The wheel contains 20 sections showing values from 5¢ to $1.00, in increments of five cents. Contestants are allowed a maximum of two spins. The first contestant spins the wheel and may choose to stop with his or her score or spin again, adding the value of the second spin to their first. The second contestant then spins the wheel and tries to match or beat the leader's score; if he or she fails to do so, the contestant must spin again.
If the second contestant's first spin matches or beats the score of the first contestant, he or she has the option of stopping or spinning again. The third contestant then spins; if his or her score is less than the leader then he or she will be required to spin again. In the event the second or third contestant's first spin ties the score of the leader, he or she will be given the option of spinning again as an alternative to entering a 'spin-off' as described below. If their total score of any contestant is less than that of the current leader, is beaten by the score of any subsequent contestant, or over $1.00, the contestant is eliminated from the game. The contestant whose score is nearest to $1.00 without going over advances to the Showcase at the end of the episode. Any spin that fails to make at least one complete revolution does not count; the contestant is given the opportunity to spin again, and if the contestant has visible difficulty in physically performing the task, the host can assist them. If the first two contestants both spin twice and go over $1.00, the last contestant automatically advances to the Showcase and is given only one spin to determine their score; this is to ensure that a contestant advances to the showcase, avoiding a potential 'triple over' scenario in which no one would advance.
Any contestant whose score equals $1.00 (from either the first spin or the sum of two spins) receives a $1,000 bonus and, since December 1978, is allowed a bonus spin. The contestant wins an additional $10,000 for landing on either 5¢ or 15¢ (which are adjacent to the $1.00 space and painted green), or an additional $25,000 for landing on $1.00. From December 1978 to September 22, 2008, the bonuses were $5,000 and $10,000 for landing on a green section and the $1.00, respectively. If the wheel stops on any other amount or fails to make at least one revolution, the contestant wins no more money. The wheel is positioned on 5¢ prior to the bonus spin so that it cannot land on a winning prize without making a complete revolution. Two or more contestants who are tied with the leading score compete in a 'spin-off'. Each contestant is allowed one additional spin and the contestant with the higher score advances to the Showcase.
Multiple spin-offs are played until the tie is broken. Those who hit $1.00 in their spin-off spin still get $1,000 and a bonus spin.
If two or more contestants tie with a score of $1.00, their bonus spins also determine their spin-off score. Only the spin-off score, not any bonus money won, determines which contestant moves on to the Showcase; thus, a person who wins the $10,000 bonus for landing on 15¢ would still lose the spin-off if their opponent lands on 20¢ or more. A tie in a bonus spin spin-off means the ensuing second spin-off will be spun with no bonuses available. Each spin must make one complete revolution in order to qualify. If a player's bonus spin spin-off does not make a complete revolution, the contestant must spin again, and the spin will be scored as in a second round of a spin-off (no bonuses). The Showcase At the end of the episode, the two contestants with the highest winnings (or since 1975 on hour-long episodes, the two Showcase Showdown winners) advance to the Showcase.
A 'showcase' of prizes (currently two or three prizes) is presented and the top winner has the option of placing a bid on the total value of the showcase or passing the showcase to the runner-up, who is then required to bid. A second showcase is then presented and the contestant who had not bid on the first showcase makes his or her bid. Unlike the One Bid, the contestant bidding on the second showcase may bid the same amount as their opponent on the first showcase, since the two contestants are bidding on different prize packages.
The contestant who has bid nearer to the price of their own showcase without going over wins the prizes in his or her showcase. Any contestant who overbids is disqualified regardless of their opponent's result. A double overbid results in neither contestant winning a showcase. Since 1974, any contestant who comes within a specified amount from the actual retail price of their own showcase without going over wins both showcases.
Until 1998, the amount was less than $100. In 1998, it became the current $250 or less. Personnel Hosts. Began hosting The Price Is Right on September 4, 1972, and completed a 35-year tenure on June 15, 2007. Barker was hired as host while still hosting the stunt comedy show.

In addition to hosting, Barker became Executive Producer of the show in March 1988 when died and continued as such until his retirement, gaining significant creative control over the series between 2000 and his 2007 retirement. He was also responsible for creating several of the show's pricing games, as well as launching The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular primetime spin-off. Reruns of Barker's final season were aired throughout the summer from the Monday after his final show (June 18, 2007) until the Friday before 's debut as host (October 12, 2007), when the season 35 finale was re-aired.
During his time as host, Barker missed only one taping of four episodes;, then hosting the syndicated nighttime version of the show, filled in for him on these shows in December 1974. After he became a noted animal rights advocate in 1981 shortly after the death of his wife Dorothy Jo, Barker signed off each broadcast, informing viewers with the public service message, 'Help control the pet population: have your pets.' Carey continued the tradition upon becoming the new host. On October 31, 2006, Barker announced that he would retire from the show at the end of season 35.
In March 2007, CBS and began a search for the next host of the show. Carey, who was hosting at the time, was chosen and, in a July 23, 2007, interview on, made the announcement. Carey's first show aired October 15, 2007. Barker has made several guest appearances since Carey took over as host: on the April 16, 2009 episode to promote his autobiography, Priceless Memories; on the December 12, 2013, as part of 'Pet Adoption Week' that coincided with his 90th birthday; and on the episode which aired on in 2015, hosting the first One Bid and pricing game as part of April Fool's Day. The 2013 April Fools' show featured Carey and announcer George Gray modeling the prizes while the show's models performed hosting and announcing duties for the day.

Main article: Eight years after the cancellation of Kennedy's Price Is Right, a new syndicated version premiered on September 12, 1994, hosted by and distributed. This series featured several significant changes: eliminating Contestants' Row, a different format for the Showcase Showdown, a Showcase featuring only one contestant, a completely different set and a much larger budget (even when compared to the two previous syndicated runs) that gave contestants the potential to win up to five times what they could win on the daytime show. However, this version found even more trouble finding an audience than the two previous syndicated series did and ended its run on January 27, 1995, after only 16 weeks of first-run shows.
Several stylistic elements of this series, as well as many of its music cues, were later integrated into both the daytime version and nighttime specials. CBS primetime specials and series CBS attempted to break NBC's dominance of by and with a six-episode summer series, The Price Is Right Special, beginning in August 1986. On August 23, 1996, CBS aired an hour-long 25th Anniversary Special, using the half-hour gameplay format and featuring a number of retrospective clips.
The 30th Anniversary Special was recorded at Harrah's Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and aired on January 31, 2002. This one-time road trip enticed 5,000 potential contestants to line up for 900 available tickets, causing an incident that left one person injured. A second six-episode primetime series saluting various branches of the, police officers and firefighters aired during the summer of 2002, as a tribute to the heroes of the. During the series The Price Is Right Salutes, spinning $1.00 in a bonus spin during the Showcase Showdown was worth $100,000 instead of the usual $10,000. The success of the primetime series, which aired mostly in the summer, along with the rise of 'million dollar' game shows, led to CBS launching another primetime series in 2003, titled The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular. The and original success in the led CBS to commission ten more episodes of the primetime series.
This series introduced set changes as the show was broadcast in high definition television for the first time and the set used for these episodes (except for the black floor) was moved to the daytime show in 2008. On the primetime series, larger and more expensive prizes were generally offered than on the daytime show. The Showcase frequently offered multiple or very-expensive cars.
In the first sixteen $1,000,000 Spectaculars all hosted by Barker, the payoff for landing on the $1.00 during a bonus spin in the Showcase Showdown was increased to $1 million. Beginning with the seventh special, if nobody had received a bonus spin in either Showcase Showdown, the winner of the Showcase received one bonus spin for a chance at $1 million. If both contestants overbid, an audience member was chosen at random to spin the wheel. This rule was later changed so that in the event of a double overbid, the contestant who overbid by the lower amount received the bonus spin for a chance at $1 million. The million-dollar spin was eliminated in 2008, and instead contestants were given two ways to winning the prize.
One pricing game per episode was selected as a 'million-dollar game', with a secondary objective needing to be met in order for the contestant to win the money. Contestants were also awarded the million dollar bonus if they managed to win both Showcases, and the range the players had to come within was initially increased to $1,000, then reduced to $500. This format lasted one season (2008), which was made as replacement programming. On February 12, 2016, CBS announced that it would air three primetime Price is Right specials based on its reality show franchises, and along with the appearance of their respective hosts from all three franchises,. The episodes featured fans of the three programs playing alongside past participants from them. The specials were filmed in March 2016, and aired over three consecutive nights, May 23–25, 2016.
Gameshow Marathon On May 31, 2006, The Price Is Right was featured on the series, one of seven classic game shows hosted by talk show host and actress. This version combined aspects of the Barker and Davidson versions with the celebrity contestants playing three pricing games, followed by a Showcase Showdown where the two contestants with the highest scores moved on to the Showcase. The winner of the Showcase also earned a spot in Finalists' Row. This version was announced by Fields and taped in Studio 46. It also marked the first Price Is Right episode directed by DiPirro, who replaced Eskander as the director on the daytime show in January 2009.

It also featured guest appearances by,. Prizes As of November 2009, the show had given away approximately $250 million in cash and prizes. Furs have not been offered as prizes since Barker's tenure as host (although wool and leather are now permitted). Several Barker-imposed prohibitions have been lifted since his departure, such as offering products made of leather or leather seats in vehicles and showing simulated meat props on barbecues and in ovens. The show has also offered couture clothing and accessories, featuring designers such as, and in an attempt to attract a younger demographic, as well as backyard play equipment such as and electronics such as, personal computer systems, video game systems. Other prizes which have frequently appeared on the show since its beginnings include automobiles, furniture, trips and cash.
The most expensive prize offered on this version of the show was a sports car, priced at $285,716, that appeared on the April 25, 2013, episode during 'Big Money Week'. The prize was offered during the pricing game.
Prior to this, the most expensive prize was a (valued at $112,845), featured on the April 22, 2010, episode in the pricing game. Automobiles Since the show's debut, automobiles have been a signature prize on The Price Is Right. Most hour-long episodes have two pricing games that are each played for an automobile and in most episodes (although not all), at least one showcase will include an automobile. For special episodes, such as the 5,000th episode, there will often be more cars offered. From 1991 to 2008, almost all automobiles offered on the show were made by companies based in the United States, specifically (although cars made by these companies' foreign subsidiaries or in a joint-venture with a foreign company were also offered during this era). The move was made by Barker, in his capacity as executive producer, as a sign of patriotism during the in 1991 and as a show of support to the American car industry, which was particularly struggling at that time.
When merged with German automaker in 1998 to form Daimler Chrysler AG (now simply after Chrysler split from the automaker; Chrysler is now controlled by Italian automaker ), the foreign ownership of Chrysler did not affect carrying any Chrysler-related models. Since Barker's retirement, cars made by foreign companies have been offered, most notably, which has several factories throughout (the home state of Carey and former announcer Fields).
Through product placement, certain episodes in 2008 and 2009 featured Honda as the exclusive automobile manufacturer for vehicles offered on that episode. The major European (, Daimler, Fiat and ) and Asian (-, and Honda) manufacturers have all provided cars on the show since the ban was lifted, with premium foreign cars almost exclusively used for games that generally offer higher-priced cars, such as Golden Road and 3 Strikes.
Starting around 2010, and have occasionally been offered as prizes for games which do not involve pricing them. Among them have been a 1955 and a 1964.
These cars are usually offered in games where their prices are irrelevant to gameplay, such as. Winnings records The record for the largest individual total in cash and prizes on a daytime episode is held by Christen Freeman. On the October 28, 2016 episode, which aired during Big Money Week, Freeman won $210,000 in cash during a playing of. During the episode, game rules were modified to offer a top prize of $250,000, which was reduced by $10,000 for every step the mountain climber took. In addition to her One Bid prize and an additional $1,000 won during the Showcase Showdown, Freeman's grand total was $212,879.
The record for winnings on the primetime show is currently held by Adam Rose. On February 22, 2008, the first The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular episode since Carey became host, Rose won $20,000 playing Grand Game and won both showcases, which included a convertible in his own showcase and a in his opponent's showcase, plus a $1 million bonus for being within $1,000 of the actual retail price of his own showcase, bringing his total to $1,153,908. Additionally, Rose holds the record for winnings on any version of the Price franchise worldwide, shattering the previous mark set by Joanne Segeviano on the Australian version in 2005.
Terry Kniess holds the record for the closest bid on a showcase without going over, guessing the exact price of the showcase he was given. Kniess, an avid viewer of the show, recorded and watched every episode for four months prior to when he and his wife had tickets to attend in September 2008. Kniess learned that many prizes were repeatedly used (always at the same price) and began taking notes. Kniess was selected as a contestant on September 22, 2008, lost his pricing game (the only contestant to do so that episode), made it to the final showcase and guessed the exact amount of $23,743 for his showcase. Many show staffers, including Carey, were worried that the show was rigged and that Kniess was cheating. Kniess later explained that he had seen all three items of the showcase before and knew the general prices in the thousands.
The 743 he used because it was his, based on his wedding date and his wife's birth month. Carey attributed his subdued reaction to the perfect bid by saying, 'Everybody thought someone had cheated. We'd just fired Roger Dobkowitz, and all the fan groups were upset about it. I remember asking, 'Are we ever going to air this?'
And nobody could see how we could. So I thought the show was never going to air. I thought somebody had cheated us, and I thought the whole show was over. I thought they were going to shut us down, and I thought I was going to be out of a job.'
Kniess later defended his actions, claiming that he never cheated, and in the end, was awarded his prizes. (His feat can be comparable to the actions of, who appeared on the 1980s game show, and won $110,237 by memorizing the board sequence.) Reception Awards The Price Is Right has received eight, in 1988, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2007, 2013, 2016 and 2018. Critical reaction The Price Is Right has generally been praised and remained a stalwart in television ratings over its long history. In a 2007 article, named the program the 'greatest game show of all time.' The introduction of the program ushered in a new era of game shows—moving away from the knowledge-based quiz show format, creating 'a noisy, carnival atmosphere that challenged cultural norms and assumptions represented in previous generations of quiz shows'. The show's early reception was not as universally positive, as critics lamented the show's stark departure from the highbrow norms of the; original nighttime host admitted that even his own housekeeper did not watch the show for that reason, but also defended the series, saying 'CBS, who never wanted game shows, just put three game shows on the air, so they know they had better join the fight or lose out, because game shows have a tremendous appeal.
The critics will always look down their noses, but you can't have on and still stay in competition. If you want to read books, read books.'
Controversy Lawsuits Since the mid-1990s, the program production company and in some cases the executive producer (both Barker and Richards, the executive producer since September 2009) have been sued by numerous women. Most of the lawsuits involved models and other staff members in cases of sexual harassment, wrongful termination and racial discrimination. Allegations of sexual harassment brought by Dian Parkinson led to Barker calling a press conference to admit a past consensual sexual relationship with her, while denying any harassment, explaining that she was only angry with him for calling off the relationship. Barker was widowed in 1981 following the death of his wife, Dorothy Jo.
It has also been alleged that Barker and senior staff created a, particularly to those who testified for the plaintiffs suing Barker. Responding to the controversy just before his retirement, Barker told William Keck of, 'The women's lawsuits have been such a problem. I don't want to say anything about them. They were disgusting; I don't want to mention them.' The Barker-era lawsuits, except for one, were settled out of court. After Barker dropped his slander suit against Hallstrom, she eventually countersued and received millions in settlement.
Former model Lanisha Cole filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the show's producers in 2011; it was settled in 2013. Plinko board incident The Plinko board is often used by -licensed lottery promotions, CBS affiliates and Fremantle's division to promote the show.
For the promotions, two fishing lines (one on each side of the board, hanging from the side down towards the center slot) are used to rig the game so the dropped chip always lands in the $10,000 slot. After an advertisement for the show's Ludia video game was taped, the wires were mistakenly left in place for the 1:00 pm taping of The Price Is Right on July 22, 2008.
As a contestant was playing the game, three consecutive chips she dropped landed in the $10,000 slot. As the fourth chip was being dropped, a co-producer realized that the wires were still in place and stopped the chip as it bounced down the board, informing Carey of the situation. The wires were removed and the entire segment was re-shot for the show from the point where the contestant began dropping chips. CBS allowed the contestant to keep the $30,000 won prior to the removal of the wires as well as the money won with the five chips after the mistake had been corrected.
However, the segment that aired (when the show was broadcast on December 5, 2008) did not refer to the mistake or the amount of money won prior to the removal of the wires. 40th anniversary The show aired a 40th Anniversary Special on September 4, 2012. The entire audience was made up of former contestants. Barker did not appear, stating that he believed that he had been excluded for criticizing some of the prizes given away after Carey became host, such as a trip to the rodeo. Although he did not appear in person, vintage clips of Barker hosting the show were shown during the episode. Barker appeared on the show twice afterwards, once in December 2013 during Pet Adoption Week, celebrating his 90th birthday, and again on April 1, 2015, as the guest host for the first pricing game, part of an April Fool's Day storyline involving Carey.
Merchandise The Price Is Right has expanded beyond television to home and casino-based games. DVD release A four-disc DVD box set, titled The Best of 'The Price Is Right,' was released on March 25, 2008.
The set features four episodes of the 1956–1965 Bill Cullen series, 17 episodes of the Barker 1972–1975 daytime series and the final five daytime episodes hosted by Barker. In accordance with Barker's animal-rights wishes, which remain in effect beyond his retirement, any episodes with fur coats as prizes cannot be aired or released into home media formats. This includes the first three daytime shows recorded in 1972, plus most of the 1970s syndicated run. Board games Seven board games have been produced. One of them was a variation of a card game, using prizes and price tags from the 1956 version.
The second was based more closely on the original version of the show. Three games were produced during the 1970s by, with Contestants' Row, some pricing games and, in the case of the third version, a spinner for the Big Wheel. In the first two versions, decks of cards had various grocery items, small prizes and larger prizes.
The third version simply had cards for each game that included ten sets of 'right' answers, all using the same price choices. The instruction book specified what color cards were necessary for each round. The 1986 version, again by Milton Bradley, was similar in scope to the earlier version, with new prizes and more games, but lacking the Big Wheel, similar to the Davidson version. The instruction book refers to Contestants' Row as the 'Qualifying Round' and the pricing games as 'Solo Games.'
The book also instructs players to use items priced under $100 as One Bids. The 1998 version of the game, by Endless Games, was virtually identical to the 1986 release, with the same games, prizes and even the same prices.
The only changes were that the number tiles were made of cardboard bits instead of plastic and the cars from the deck of prizes with four-digit prices were removed. The 2004 version, again by Endless Games, was a complete departure from previous home versions.
Instead of different prize cards and games, the game consisted of everything needed to play 45 games and enough materials to create all the games not technically included if the 'host' wished to and knew their rules. The Big Wheel spinner was also restored, this time with the numbers in the correct order.
Additionally, the prices, instead of being random numbers that could change each time the game was played, were actual prices taken from episodes of the TV show. To fit everything in the box, grocery items and prizes were listed in the instruction book and games were played on dry erase boards. A spinner determined the game to be played next, although its use was not necessarily required if the 'host' wished to build his own game lineup, or even use a pricing game not included in the lineup. Computer and electronic games In 1990, created a Price Is Right computer game for the and platforms and other systems to fit in their line of other game show games. A handheld Tiger game was made in 1998 with four pricing games. A DVD game with 12 pricing games, live casino show host and video of prizes taken directly from the show was produced by Endless Games in 2005.
A 2008 DVD edition, also from Endless Games, featured many changes based on season 36 and included seven new games: Half Off, More or Less, Swap Meet, Secret X, That's Too Much, Coming or Going and Hole in One. It also featured both host Drew Carey and announcer Rich Fields. CBS.com featured an online Price Is Right-based game in the late-1990s, which was plugged in the closing credits of each episode. The game consisted of choosing which of the four bidders in Contestant's Row was closest to the price of a prize without going over. Additionally, Mobliss provides a suite of pricing games for cellular phones.
On March 26, 2008, (in connection with ) launched The Price Is Right video game for PC. A version for the and platforms was released in September 2008, while a version for the was released in November 2008. The show's announcer, Fields, was the host of the computer version. The virtual set in the game resembles the set used in seasons 31 to 34. Ludia announced that all three platforms will receive a new version of the video game that was previewed at the Target Bullseye Lounge during the trade show on June 2–4, 2009.
The Price Is Right 2010 Edition was released on September 22, 2009. In the fall of 2010, Ludia developed a multi-player version for Facebook. A third Ludia adaptation, The Price Is Right Decades, featuring set designs, pricing games and prizes taken from the 1970s through 2000s; was initially released for the Wii in October 2011, with an Xbox 360 and iOS release following in November and December.
The Price Is Right 2010 Edition and The Price Is Right Decades have also been released as downloads within the for the in May 2010 and April 2012, respectively. Irwin Toys released an electronic tabletop version in 2008 featuring Contestant's Row, the Big Wheel, a physical Plinko board with chips, Showcases and seven pricing games. Released a version of The Price Is Right in 2009, featuring Carey and Fields. Slot machines A series of video slot machines were manufactured for North American casinos.
