The network’s latest game show, Cherries Wild, brings all of the excitement you’d expect from a game show along with the suspense of some good ole’ fashion competition. The show combines the fun of slot machines with trivia questions which gives the viewers at home the chance to see if they have what it takes to keep up with the contestants. Although the show is still pretty new, it’s already attracted a wide audience and people seem to love the game. Keep reading to learn 10 things you didn’t know about Cherries Wild.
1. The Show Doesn’t Use A Real Slot Machine
One of the coolest things about Cherries Wild is that contestants get the chance to pull the level on a giant slot machine.
