2. Process Details:

1. Phase 1 – The player will receive one (1) spin on the BRONZE prize wheel. The prize wheel must make one (1) full rotation to be a valid spin. If the wheel does not make a full rotation, the player will be asked to spin again. There are three (3) scenarios that can occur with each spin: If the wheel stopper lands on CASH Prize, the player will be awarded the cash prize listed and the game is concluded. 
   1. If the wheel stopper lands on CASH Prize OR SPIN AGAIN, the player will have the choice to take the CASH Prize and the game is concluded or forfeit the prize and SPIN AGAIN. The player will have ten (10) seconds to make their decision. If the player makes a second spin, the prize the wheel stopper lands on is their final prize. Players will be allowed a maximum of two (2) spins per prize wheel. Therefore, if the player lands on CASH Prize OR SPIN AGAIN on their second spin, they will automatically be awarded the CASH Prize, and the game is concluded. 
   2. If the wheel stopper lands on SILVER WHEEL, the player proceeds to the next phase of the game. 
2. Phase 2 – The player will receive one (1) spin on the SILVER prize wheel. The prize wheel must make one (1) full rotation to be a valid spin. If the wheel does not make a full rotation, the player will be asked to spin again. There are three (3) scenarios that can occur with each spin: 
   1. If the wheel stopper lands on CASH Prize, the player will be awarded the cash prize listed and the game is concluded. 
   2. If the wheel stopper lands on CASH Prize OR SPIN AGAIN, the player will have the choice to take the CASH Prize and the game is concluded or forfeit the prize and SPIN AGAIN. The player will have ten (10) seconds to make their decision. If the player makes a second spin, the prize the wheel stopper lands on is their final prize. Players will be allowed a maximum of two (2) spins per prize wheel. Therefore, if the player lands on CASH Prize OR SPIN AGAIN on their second spin, they will automatically be awarded the CASH Prize, and the game is concluded. 
   3. If the wheel stopper lands on GOLD WHEEL, the player proceeds to the next phase of the game. 
3. Phase 3 – The player will receive one (1) spin on the GOLD prize wheel. The prize wheel must make one (1) full rotation to be a valid spin. If the wheel does not make a full rotation, the player will be asked to spin again.
