Check out Taiwan's take on Wheel, only it's not played with a wheel. Contestants roll a Lucky Ball around a ring. The Lucky Ball then enters "the wheel." You might as well call it Plinko of Fortune or Pachinko of Fortune as "the wheel" is actually a pachinko machine. And the puzzles are actually made of Majhong pieces
In the bonus round, the one with the most money has a chance to play for $1,000,000 in Taiwanese currency. He has to solve a whopping 10 Majhong-like puzzles in a fair enough 60 seconds to win the big million. Let's see if this episode's winner can pull it off.

Okay. Sadly, I just found out that all the episodes of Majhong Fortune had been removed. If anyone had been able to download the episodes, may you please show us some shots at least? I want to see the layout of the puzzle board and the pachinko.
As for the values. There was a 10000 space to the very left of the board (which would be 20000 in later rounds), and others spaces worth 5000, 2500, 2000, 1500, 1000, 500, and maybe 250 (I may be wrong on some of these), and there was one space that doubles your round score (very useful if you had a large score). The Double space was the space everyone would scream for as the ball bounced toward the bottom of the board.
May 17, 2012 Update!
I just found a blog site that had some shots of the show including that of the pachinko board, though in low quality. Although I'm uncomfortable posting the link since it's a blog site, I'm pretty certain I've got the layout.
From left to right in English is the possible layout: 10000, Lose Turn, 1500, 2000, 5000, Bankrupt, 3000, 2000, 1000, Double, 1000, Lose Turn, 3000, 500. The 10000 is doubled to 20000 most likely in the third round.
