The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and we begin Round 1:

The finale is available, but I prefer to cover the games in order because of how I started.

The user who uploaded these episodes told me he didn't have these episodes in his collection. I remember there used to be the grand final on Youtube from the first State Anniversary Challenge, for the shows 20th anniversary back in 2001, and the show was broadcast from Conrad Jupiters Casino and Hotel from the Gold Coast, one of only two occasions (that I'm aware of) that the show went on the road, the other time I can distinctly remember is from late '95, early '96, when the Burgess and Xenides version, filmed about 2 weeks of outdoor shows, from the Sydney Botanical Gardens, including a celebrity special, with the cast of Blue Heelers (a police drama show at the time)

Also, if you were going to do them in order of airing, there's about 2-3 weeks worth of shows in July and August that the user has uploaded that you missed. Not being bossy, just curious, that's all.
