The bonus round is that part of a GameShow which follows the main game, typically played by the player or team who won the main game. Usually, this is where the ''real'' money/prizes are handed out, with only a token amount of cash given to the winner of the main game. Quite often, a ProgressiveJackpot will be involved.

SerendipityWritesThePlot is the main reason this game mechanic is so common. Game shows obviously do not have the budget to be giving away huge jackpots every episode; these productions are typically budgeted with an assumed average per-episode winning in mind. The Bonus Round thus acts as something of a failsafe, giving contestants a final extra-difficult test they must pass to win big and reducing the chance that the show will need to pay out in any given episode.

** The German version, ''Glücksrad'', had an interesting pre-bonus round. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c8HJS2svLI#t=900 Super-spiel]] was a 4-5 word crossword puzzle using the board that all three players played as a team. Each player picks two letters, and then they have 90 seconds (each player as captain for 30) to solve the puzzle. If they cleared the wall in time, they all got a share of a rolling jackpot (which in some cases was worth ''more'' than the actual Bonus Round win). Then the normal Bonus Round's played like usual.
