Pricing game 

One of the major parts of The Price Is Right, the second step after a player has won the One-Bid. Most of these can be played for furniture, cash, or even cars. One example is Plinko, a fan favorite that debuted in 1983, which offers cash prizes up to $50,000.
"(insert name here), you're going to play PLINKO for a chance to win up to $50,000!" Rich Fields announced to the lucky contestant before the pricing game started and the audience cheered wildly.
