The contestant from Contestants' Row who places the winning bid has the chance to win a large prize such as a Car , a trip, or cash. As only one contestant is involved in a pricing game at a time, they tend to get the unanimous support of the audience. After the pricing game ends, a new contestant is selected for Contestants' Row, and the process begins again.

A total of 102 different games have been played throughout the history of the show: 75 are in the current rotation, 26 have been retired, and one, Time Is Money , is on hiatus (out of the rotation, but not actually retired).

On a typical current episode, four of the pricing games will be played for merchandise, trips, or cash. Two will be played for a car: one car game in the first half of the show, and one in the second. One of the six games will involve grocery products, and unless time does not allow for it, another will involve items worth between approximately $5 and $300 commonly known as "small prizes". Also, games that are played primarily for cash prizes, such as Grand Game or Plinko , generally will not be played twice in an episode.

For a list of pricing games that are no longer played, see List Of Retired The Price Is Right Pricing Games .

In the history of the show, there have only been five known incidents in which a player's actions have resulted in an unfair advantage:
  • On October 6 , 1986 , a contestant playing Shell Game , rather than placing her chip beside a shell, tried to put a chip under one of the shells, revealing that the ball was not beneath it. Though she attempted to follow up honestly by placing the chip next to the shell, as she intended, host Bob Barker chided her for placing the chip where she knew the ball was not, and allowed her to move the chip. She subsequently won enough chips to mark each of the shells except the one she had already revealed.

  • In 1988, a contestant playing 3 Strikes began to pull the third strike out of the bag, then put it back, hoping no one would notice. Barker did notice, and he chided her for it. She ended up pulling the third strike all the way out on a later draw.

  • A similar incident occurred on February 28 , 1992 , when a contestant was down to two discs; a strike and the last number. She drew a chip out of the bag, then quickly put it back in before anyone else could see what it was. She then drew the number and won.

  • On December 1 , 1992 , a contestant playing Pathfinder briefly touched his foot to an adjacent number. The number lit up, as it was thought the contestant was going to move there. After a bit of chiding from Bob, the game proceeded as normal.

  • On April 4 , 2005 , a contestant playing Flip Flop , rather than flipping the price panels, pressed the button on the game board that reveals the correct price. With the price revealed the game result was moot, and Barker awarded the contestant the prize, with apparent or mock disdain.
