Games Spotlight: Flip Flop
Saturday, December 6
Name: Flip Flop
Debut: February 25th, 2000
There is a 4-digit prize offered in this game. The contestant is shown 2 sets of 2-digit numbers lined up next to each other. The price that the numbers make before any changes are made is incorrect and the contestant has a choice to either "Flip" (invert the first pair of numbers), "Flop" (invert the second pair of numbers), or "Flip Flop" (change both pairs of numbers). Example: If the displayed price is $3825, the contestant can change the 38 to 83 by "flipping", change the 25 to 52 by "flopping", or change 3825 to 8352 by "flip flopping". If the price is correct after changes are made, then the contestant wins the prize.
Fun Fact: On April 4, 2005, rather than flipping/flopping the panels, a contestant accidentally just pushed the button which reveals the actual the price of the prize. An annoyed Bob Barker awarded the prize to the contestant rather than stopping tape and replaying or replacing the game.
