A Grand Game win featuring winning graphics.
Here's a Grand Game win from September 9, 1991 (#8091D)...
...from October 18, 1994 (#9312D) which used the more familiar showcase showdown font style in red...
...and from November 17, 1997 (#0531K). It's the same font style only it's bordered in green.

Like Bonus Game, the Grand Game went through some changes too.

Here's an example of a loss on the fourth pick. As seen here, in addition to the stopping of the lights, the displays turn red, and the money display drops to $0 (as per the rules, the $1,000 is lost upon a wrong guess on the fourth pick).
Is the glue lower than $4.50?
Yes! It's only $2.59.
