• Dream House: In the Eubanks bonus round, for each day the champions were on the show (starting with the second day), a digit that was not in the three-digit combination of the electronic lock (that would open the 'Golden Doors' to the grand prize) was removed. (For example, a three-day champion couple would have two digits removd at the outset).
• The Hollywood Squares: On the Davidson version, a returning champion's odds of winning the car increased by one, since the car(s) picked on previous shows were eliminated.
• The Magnificent Marble Machine: The target score started at 15,000 points, and was reduced by 1,000 points for every day it wasn't reached.
