Taking the odds of a perfect game from 1/59,049 to 1/1845.
You could even do what PiR94 did. Have two top slots and three zeros.

Why not have them gamble their winnings for a car while they're at it?

Assuming each fall towards the bottom means one left or right move the chance of a $10,000 win on any chip is roughly one in four, not one in nine. (Note that for someone win $100 the chip can only come in from one side--there's a 50/50 shot to win $500 or $100 from the edge.)
Chances of a perfect run assuming all of the variables are ironed out is about one in a thousand. Taking a page from Jeremy I might have a top prize (let's say $25,000) and every correct either/or choice converts a zero into the top prize. Maybe pull a chip from a hopper to make the choice.
Mr. Brown:
1. Stack the Deck: it's just too damn hard and not fun to watch, especially given the fact that it gives away "normal" cars. Maybe if it gave away luxury vehicles it might be more enjoyable.
2. Gridlock!: This is easily the worst of the newest games. It's clunky as hell, slow for what it is, and what the heck is the theme? Traffic? Were they really going for a stuck in traffic theme?
3. Gas Money (under its current rules): I would LOVE to see the show bring back the original "Deal or No Deal"-style rules, where you're stuck with your original choice throughout the game.
I don't have a 4 & 5. lol

Well whatever the chances are right now, doubling the number of $10,000s increases the chances by 2^5, or 32x.
