Bankrupt

The 'Bankrupt' wedge is a hazardous black wedge in the Wheel of Fortune series. If a contestant were to land on it, he or she would lose cash and prizes, as well as his or her turn and would move on the the next contestant.

Effect
The effect of the Bankrupt wedge is that when landed on, a contestant's cash score drops down to zero, and prize wedges are handed to the host and therefore it should not be returned on the Wheel.

Design
The Bankrupt wedge is a black wedge with white large letters reading BANKRUPT written vertically.

Sound effect
When the Wheel lands on the Bankrupt wedge, a long descending slide whistle is heard.
