From The TV IV

This is on the 1975 CBS game show. For the glossary definition of the term, see spinoff.

Spin-Off was a game show airing on CBS's daytime line-up.

Two couples compete in this contest. They ring in to answer a question, with the correct answering couple using a display of five windows, each flashing numbers from 1 to 6 at the rate of 16 times per second, to create poker hands. They hit plungers corresponding to each window to stop the numbers in order to create their respective hands. Payoffs were as follows:

Pair - $50
Two pair - $75
Three of a Kind - $100
Straight - $125
Full House - $150
Four of a Kind - $175
Five of a Kind - $200

Couples could freeze windows in order to build their hand higher during the course of the game. The couple scoring $250 first is champion and vies for $10,000 by trying to make a straight in numerical order on the number windows. Payoffs in the bonus round:

Pair - $250
Two pair - $500
Three of a Kind - $1000
Full House - $1500
Four of a Kind - $2500
Five of a Kind - $5000
Straight (1-2-3-4-5, 5-4-3-2-1, 2-3-4-5-6, 6-5-4-3-2) - $10,000
