Season 6

The following changes have been made to the show this year: A "registered trademark" (®) symbol is added to the show's logo. The Wheel is slightly changed: The $2,500 and $3,500 wedges are now in the Clarendon font. In Round 2, the "off-model" $300 wedge covering Free Spin is changed to the Clarendon font, albeit shorter and narrower than the other wedges. The Prize wedges' lettering returns to normal. Nickname is used several times this season, including at least two Bonus Rounds (HOT LIPS and MOTOR CITY, both between October 3 and February 17). Although it previously appeared on May 31, 1979, it is not known whether the category had a consistent presence or if it was retired and came back at some point. Its presence was likely sporadic at best, as no other known circulating episodes in between use the category. As of this season, the slide whistle no longer sounds if Pat hits Bankrupt on the Final Spin.
