Possible handling of situation of a player leaving mid-game?

I'm pretty sure that that's what they do. They have two contestants, usually locals, as stand-by contestants. An on-stage compliance official monitors the action, and if there are any violations (or anything suspicious), she would alert a producer. As to what would happen from there, I don't know. It is a federal offense to cheat, rig, or deceive any game show. If there is a medical emergency, and the contestant is unable to continue, I think the game might be scrapped and restarted with the alternate.

The thing is, on Wheel all contestants win whatever they solve with (barring a few exceptions), so scrapping an episode might mean the players don't get what they won the first time and have to settle for what they won the second time...which could be quite a bit less. If that is the case, though, then a losing contestant with enough spite could make themselves sick and force the game to restart.

For the record, I honestly don't know how the show would handle an unairable episode since as far as I know it's never happened. It could in fact be that, if an episode does have to be scrapped, the players get what they originally won in addition to whatever is won in the remount.

Alternately, it could be easier to simply replace the sick contestant with a relative from the audience, explain what happened (even if it's mid-round; do a mid-round commercial break if absolutely necessary), then move on. I know The Price Is Right did this in recent years...although in this case it'd probably render the relative ineligible.

Despite all this, two questions come to mind:
1) What if the Bonus Round player becomes sick and is unable to continue?
2) If someone becomes sick during the taping and is unable to continue, is said player rendered ineligible?

I also could have sworn I have a vague memory of a WoF episode when I was real little where a different person was in the red podium between the 3rd and 4th round, but I don't remember any details. Just a vague (if real) memory. I would think their lawyers have a procedure in place since while not a great probability, is possible to happen.

woffan2008, there was a situation where Pat lost his voice before the bonus round so Vanna and him switched spots where he turned the letters. Don't know what'd they do otherwise: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUo5tJBttc4

Closest I can think of is the one celeb game where William Shatner had to leave mid-game. Someone asked Pat about that on Twitter, and he said it was because they were having a ton of technical difficulties that made the taping run really long, thus creating scheduling conflicts.
