There are six questions in total, each worth between $500 and $1,000, or a Whammy. A correct answer earns the question's value multiplied by the number of contestants who answered incorrectly or ran out of time (e.g., answering the $500 question correctly with three other contestants answering incorrectly earns $1,500). Bonus cash is given to the three contestants who answer the questions correctly in the shortest amount of time. Answering the Whammy question incorrectly causes the contestant to lose any money accumulated to that point. In September 2012, Ludia released ''Press Your Luck Slots'' on Facebook.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ludia and FremantleMedia Enterprises Announce "Press Your Luck® Slots" Game Now Available on Facebook®|url=http://www.financialpost.com/markets/news/Ludia+FremantleMedia+Enterprises+Announce+Press+Your+Luck+Slots+Game/7343804/story.html|work=Financial Post|access-date=5 October 2012|archive-date=4 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004180529/http://www.financialpost.com/markets/news/Ludia+FremantleMedia+Enterprises+Announce+Press+Your+Luck+Slots+Game/7343804/story.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
