Three contestants compete against one another in a game of wits and strategy, answering questions to earn spins on the Big Board. The stakes get even higher when the contestants get the chance to use their spins to win cash and prizes while trying to avoid the WHAMMY, who could take all of their winnings and leave them with nothing. The winning contestant moves on to the bonus round to face the WHAMMY in a final battle for the chance to win a fortune.

Elizabeth Banks of "Hunger Games" and "Pitch Perfect" fame does her best to bring sass and drama. Unfortunately, she must utter hackneyed lines like, "Do you wanna [big pause] press your luck?" If only she'd put on her "Hunger Games" outfit. Go to Full Review Neal Pollack Book & Film Globe 01/30/2020
Press Your Luck has suddenly morphed from a nasty, cheap little show where people get their ass kicked by a cartoon monster into a Queen For A Day knockoff where people get their asses kicked by a cartoon monster. Go to Full Review Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media 07/09/2019

Reboot of '80s game show is glitzy fun, if a bit too long. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 06/13/2019
Not even my nostalgia for Whammys and the presence of Elizabeth Banks can erase the fact that there is no skill whatsoever involved in this game show: It really is just an hour watching overly excitable people test their dumb luck. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/31/2019 Great show. It's a good idea to bring back this classic 80's Game Show. Whammy's new animations are creative. The Bonus Game looks good. I totally recommend this for all the Press Your Luck fans. See more Read all reviews
