Do your residents enjoy watching television game shows? Consider adding the game shows to your monthly activity calendar with these following tips:
- Family Feud. Print out a few Family Feud questions and write out the answers and points to the questions on a white board. Cover the answers with pieces of construction paper. To play the game, divide residents into two teams. Give the first person from each team an item (like a piece of candy or a pen) to hold while you ask a question for only those two people. Tell the two residents to throw the item on the floor (the buzzer) but not to give the answer until you call on them. When you have decided who threw their item on the floor first, ask that person for an answer. If that person gets the top answer on the board, ask them if their team wants to play or pass to the other team. Continue asking residents to name more answers to that question until the team gets three strikes. At that time, ask the opposing team for an answer that is on the board. Be sure to keep track of the points to see who wins. To play the final round, ask two members of the winning team, at different times, five other Family Feud questions and see if their answers score at least 200 points total. Award prizes to the winning team.
- Wheel of Fortune. Print out a copy of the current wheel or a basic wheel and glue it to a piece of cardboard to make it sturdy. Using a pushpin, adhere a paper clip to the center of the wheel. To play, ask residents to spin the wheel by flicking the paper clip to see how much money they are playing for. Use a white board or a large piece of paper to write out the puzzle using blanks. Once a resident guesses a correct letter, write the letter into the puzzle. Consider laminating a small letter board that you can hand to residents when they are trying to guess a letter. Use a wipeable marker or crayon to scratch out the letters that have already been called. To make the games more interesting, consider creating puzzles that connect with your facility. For example, ask your Dining Services Coordinator what they are serving for dinner, and make that one of the puzzles called 'What's for Dinner?'.
- Jeopardy! Print out trivia to use as questions for the game. On a white board, divide the board into six columns and five rows. Label the top of each column with the topic, and write in the numerical amount for each row (i.e., write in $200 in the six spaces in the first row, $400 in the six spaces in the second row, $600 for third row, $800 for fourth row, and $1000 for fifth row). Have each resident compete individually. Invite one of the residents to start by picking a square. Ask the question and have the residents raise their hands to answer. Be sure to let the residents know that they have to answer in the form of a question. Ask a volunteer to keep track of the residents' points.
- Hollywood Squares. Print out random trivia to ask. Draw a giant Tic Tac Toe board on your white board and recruit a staff member to act as the 'celebrity.' (You will ask questions directly to the 'celebrity,' and they will have to answer the questions authoritatively, even if they are guessing.) Divide the residents into two teams, the Xs and the Os. Ask your 'celebrity' the first question, and then ask a member of one of the teams if they agree or disagree with the 'celebrity's' answer. If the resident is correct, then they can place their X or O on the board. The first team to get three straight Xs or Os wins.
- Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Recruit a volunteer to print out math, science, English, and social studies questions to use for the game. Divide residents into two teams. On a white board, copy the game board for each team so that they can see that they must answer two questions from each level in any order to advance to the million dollar round. Recruit two staff members (or two fifth graders, if available) to be each team's classmate. Whenever a team gets stumped, they are allowed to peek at their classmate's answer and choose whether to use it, copy their classmate's answer, in which case they must use their classmate's answer, or save their classmate's answer so that if the team answers incorrectly, they can still use their classmate's answer if it is correct. If at any time, a team 'flunks out' and gets an answer wrong, they must all state 'I am not smarter than a fifth grader!'
- Minute to Win It. Use a stop watch to time residents to see if they can complete a game within 60 seconds. If they do, they can either take the prize (a small wrapped gift, like a piece of candy) or compete for a better prize (a bigger piece of candy, etc.) Gather game ideas or use games in your activity closet for residents to play, like throwing five rings around a bottle within 60 seconds or stacking three tiers of Dominoes within 60 seconds.
- The Price Is Right. Pick out a few games that you want contestants to play. You may want to choose games that are logistically easier to play like the Clock Game, in which the contestant tries to guess the price of an item within 30 seconds and is told to bid 'higher' or 'lower' until he or she guesses the correct price. Beforehand, ask a volunteer to download prices and pictures of grocery items that you will use for the games. To play the contestant row part of the game (which determines who plays the games onstage) and showcase showdown, simply download pictures and prices of higher ticket items for residents to bid on. Whoever bids closest without going over, wins the prize and a chance to play the game onstage (if playing contestant row) or wins the showcase (if playing showcase showdown).
- What's My Line? Invite residents to guess the occupation of one of your facility's newer residents by asking 'yes' or 'no' questions, like 'Did you work in an office setting?' or 'Did you have a personal secretary?' When it is their turn, a resident can keep asking questions as long as the answer is 'yes.' Once they receive a 'no' to one of their questions, the next resident gets a chance to ask a question. Award a prize to the resident who guesses the correct occupation.
The magic of the Las Vegas casinos is not that there you can win a lot of money. The magic is that how exactly you can win a lot of money. For example, you can bet on a roulette a million dollars for red and win a million dollars. Not bad, but you can bet one dollar on the slot and also win a million-dollar jackpot. Of course, jackpot odds are much lower. So, the more pleasant is the prize!
Another story with a huge jackpot hit in slots of Las Vegas. And not one story, but two at once! It became known that at once two players in different places played on the Wheel of Fortune slot and both hit the big jackpot. One of the lucky ones who played in the establishment of Arizona, Charlie's Decatur, bet a dollar and hit the jackpot in the amount of $1,670,000. Great luck! The second win happened at the casino Wynn Las Vegas on the famous boulevard, where the player bet 25 cents, got into the bonus game Triple Hot Ice and won $343,000.

A lot of money, by the way. And the casino owners are very happy for the players. Why? They do have to part with big money, don't they? No, they don't. Such huge winnings are the best advertising for casinos, and it does not matter, real slots or slots in online casinos. Big winnings news stimulates players to play even more, even more often. All are firmly convinced that if someone is lucky with a dollar bet, then they will be lucky too. It often happens: players are inspired by someone's success, they play more and quite unexpectedly win. It is well known that the overwhelming majority of jackpots are hit by beginners, but not by professional players who spend years at gaming tables and slots.
Big Money Wheel Of Fortune
By the way, the progressive jackpot is very convenient for the casino advertising campaign. The matter is that the winning pool of the progressive jackpot for months and sometimes for years is formed by the players themselves by contributing a certain percentage from each of their bets and from each of their losses. So, in essence, the casino does not lose its money. The accumulated amount is redistributed from the pockets of millions of players into the pocket of the one. There is some poetic justice in this story!
