| - Pilot: "These three players have been especially selected today to play television's richest game! Jack Campion is a lawyer who always plays to win! Maggie Brown says she never even thinks about losing! And Matt Dorf tells us he thinks the guy who says 'winning isn't everything' is crazy! But only one of them can play and win today, as they play television's most exciting and challenging new game, PRESS YOUR LUCK! And now here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, PETER TOMARKEN!" Early Episodes: "These three contestants are about to play the most exciting game of their lives(, which only one of them can win)! (introduction of each player, his/her hometown, and a small info bit on how just competitive s/he is going to be) From Television City in Hollywood, it's time to PRESS YOUR LUCK! And now here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, PETER TOMARKEN!" Best Remembered: (clips of contestants playing the game from past episodes, usually ending with who won the game) "Today, these three players are after high stakes/Big Bucks, but they'll have to avoid the Whammy, as they play the most exciting game of their lives! From Television City in Hollywood, it's time to PRESS YOUR LUCK! And now here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, PETER TOMARKEN!" NOTE: When first used on November 7, 1983, the announcer's opening spiel used "big bucks". This would be changed to "high stakes" as of November 16, 1983. From December 5-16, 1983, the opening spiel would be altered to replace "are after high stakes" with "will compete for high stakes". As of December 19, 1983, the opening spiel would revert back to "are after high stakes" and would be used until sometime in February 1985, at which point the opening spiel would replace "high stakes" with "big bucks" and would be used for the remainder of the series.
