Players bet on the number they predict will win before the host sets the wheel in motion. The winning segment is indicated by a pointer when the wheel halts. The payout system is simple and directly corresponds to the numbers on the wheel, with a bet on a number paying out at that number to one.

A correct answer awards the money at stake to the contestant and ends the game. If the contestant misses, they are returned to the smaller wheel and a new contestant is chosen. The subject of the missed question, the expert chosen for it, and the prize associated with them are all removed from play.
