That's the thing I don't get about this game. There really is no skill involved whatsoever. I honestly think a monkey could be a contestant. And no, not a trained lab monkey, I'm talking a feces-throwing wild monkey.

People said the same thing about Press Your Luck when it first came out in the early 80s, and at least that had a competition aspect, some strategy, and some knowledge involved. (This being until that Larson guy figured out the pattern.)

There really is nothing at all to this gameshow at all.

"Here, pick a box."
"That one."
"Okay, there's some money. Wanna keep going?"
"Sure, how about that one!"
"There's some money again. It's more."
"Awesome."

Jam it back in, in the dark.
