Whoever wins the game takes all the money in the pot, and goes on to play the Tic Tac Dough bonus game. - Wink explaining the rules of the game early in the run

Beat the Dragon
On this board, we have nine numbers, behind those numbers are four Xs, four Os, and one dragon. The Xs & the Os have been distributed on the board so that there's only one way to get Tic Tac Dough. You'll be calling out numbers, and each time you find an X or an O, you'll win $150; you can stop & take the money anytime you like. However, if you should find the dragon (which I hope you do not do), the game's over and you lose the cash. However, if you find the one Tic Tac Dough on the board, you will get not only the cash you've accumulated, but all of the prizes. - Wink Martindale explaining the CBS bonus game rules

Behind those numbers are various amounts of money, a Tic, a Tac, and the mean green dragon. (later accompanied by the dragon's roar) Reach $1,000 or more or get the Tic & the Tac and win the prize package. - Wink Martindale & Jim Caldwell explaining the bonus game rules

Avoid the dragon or lose everything, get the Tic & the Tac you automatically get the dough. - Wink Martindale explaining more about the dragon and Tic & Tac

You'll have to get a Tic Tac Dough with either Xs or Os. Which one do you want? (insert contestant's selection) Now you're gonna bring the shuffle to a stop and determine what appears on the board. Now for the first X/O you find we'll put $500 in the pot. For every X/O thereafter we'll double the money. Get a Tic Tac Dough with Xs/Os you'll win the pot plus the prizes.
