B IF (spin1 = 8)
5 4 RETURN(spin1)

RETURN(RANDOM(10, 80))

The game is played in the following way:

C IF (spin1 < 8)
• A random number is chosen from 1 to 8 to simulate the spinner. The player gets the RETURN(spin1)
amount of points equal to the random number. ELSE
• If the first spin was an 8, the player gets another spin. Whatever the player gets on {
the second spin counts as 10 times the amount of that spin. The first spin does not spin2 ← RANDOM(1,8)*10
RETURN(spin2 * 10)
count towards their score. }
Example 1: If the player spins a 5 on their first spin, the score returned is 5.
Example 2: If the player spins an 8 on their first spin, the players gets a
second spin. If the player spins a 3 on the second spin, the score D IF (spin1 < 8)
returned is 3 times 10, which is 30. RETURN(spin1)
ELSE
{
The procedure game() was created to return the correct value from the spin(s). spin2 ← RANDOM(1,8)
PROCEDURE game() RETURN(spin2 * 10)
}
{
spin1 ← RANDOM(1,8)
