The object of the game is to spin a wheel with a pig in the middle and guess how many times it will go around (with one squeal per turn). The Count wins, but after being given his choice of prizes (including a larger-than-life portrait of Playjacks himself, grapefruit goggles, and a barrel of industrial-strength gray-green finger paint), he chooses the pig instead. Then the eel comes along to ask [[Pat Playjacks]] if the game was called ''Eel of Fortune.'' |
