''Lotería Loca'' was removed from the schedule after airing 6 episodes, leaving 5 episodes unaired.


Each episode features two contestants attempting to match symbols found on their Lotería ''tablero''. The first player to complete two lines on their tablero advances to the final round in an attempt to win $1,000,000.

Each contestant is given their own Lotería ''tablero'' consisting of nine cards arranged in a 3-by-3 grid. Starting with the winner of a backstage coin toss, contestants alternate selecting one square at a time from a board of 15. Hidden behind each number is a different Lotería card with a dollar value ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 in $500 increments, and every card appears on one or both tableros. If the selected card matches one on the contestant’s tablero, they bank the money and the card is marked off. However, if the card does not match, the opposing contestant banks the money and marks the card off their tablero instead. If a card appearing on both tableros is uncovered, both contestants mark it off but the money goes only to the contestant who selected it.

If the selected card is on only one contestant's tablero, it is marked off and that contestant banks the money associated with it. If a card appearing on both tableros is uncovered, both contestants mark it off but the money goes only to the contestant who selected it.


Hidden behind several squares are “Loca Challenges,” minigames worth up to $10,000 that range from physical stunts to musical performances. Once the challenge is completed, the card behind it is revealed and marked/scored as above.
Hidden behind several squares are “Loca Challenges,” minigames that range from physical stunts to musical performances. The challenge is presented in three parts, awarding $2,500 for completing one part, $5,000 for two, or $10,000 for all three. Once the challenge is completed, the card behind it is revealed and marked/scored as above.


A contestant earns a ''Lotería'' and a $10,000 bonus for completing a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of three cards. The first contestant to earn two Loterías wins the game and takes their winnings to the bonus round. If a contestant earns multiple Loterías in one turn, they receive $10,000 for each one and immediately win the game.

The champion is given a new tablero, consisting of 16 cards in a 4-by-4 grid, and faces a board of 20 numbered squares.
The champion is given a new tablero, consisting of 16 cards in a 4-by-4 grid, and faces a board of 20 numbered squares.


As in the main game, the champion selects one square at a time. Behind 16 of the squares are Lotería cards, all of which can be found on the tablero. The dollar values hidden behind the cards now range from $2,000 to $10,000. Loca Challenges are still hidden on the board, and can award up to $20,000.

The dollar values hidden behind the cards now range from $2,000 to $10,000. Loca Challenges are still hidden on the board, now consisting of five parts; the contestant earns $2,000 for each of the first four parts completed, or $20,000 for all five.


At this point, the gameplay reverts to a [[Barry & Enright Productions]] "beat the bad guy" style bonus game. Four {{Lang|es|La Calavera}} (skull) cards are hidden on the board. The first three times it is found, the bank is reduced in half. After the third {{Lang|es|La Calavera}} is uncovered, the champion is immediately given a one-time offer to walk away with half of their bank, since uncovering the fourth {{Lang|es|La Calavera}} ends the game and the player forfeits everything, including what was won in the main game.
Four skull cards are also hidden on the board; each time the champion uncovers one, their bank is cut in half. Finding all four skulls ends the game immediately and forfeits the entire bank. If three skulls are found, the champion is offered a chance to end the game at that point and keep half their remaining winnings.


The champion must mark off four cards in a row in order to earn a Lotería, which awards a $25,000 bonus. Earning a Lotería also gives the champion the chance to either end the game and keep all winnings, or continue to play. In the latter case, they must continue to choose numbers until either earning another Lotería or uncovering all four ''La Calavera''.

Marking off all 16 cards on the tablero increases the champion's winnings to $1,000,000.

CBS has pulled the series from its timeslot on October 31, 2023, amid falling viewership. Besides a holiday-related episode to air in December, CBS has stated that the remaining episodes would air at a later date.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mitovich |first=Matt Webb |date=2023-11-01 |title=CBS Pulls Lotería Loca From Schedule — Here’s What’s Replacing It |url=https://tvline.com/news/loteria-loca-removed-cbs-monday-schedule-1235068708/ |access-date=2023-11-01 |website=TVLine |language=en-US}}</ref>
Amid low viewership (never receiving a household rating above 0.2, and the October 30 episode having a series-low of 1.1 million viewers), CBS pulled ''Loteria Loca'' from its schedule on October 31, 2023, filling its remaining timeslots with ''[[NCIS (TV series)|NCIS]]'' encores and ''[[Let's Make a Deal]]'' primetime specials.

Lotería Loca is an American television game show based on the Mexican game of chance Lotería. The show is hosted by Jaime Camil, with Sheila E. serving as co-host and band leader.[1][2] The show aired from October 2, 2023 until December 24, 2023 on CBS. Lotería Loca was removed from the schedule after airing 6 episodes, leaving 5 episodes unaired.

Each episode features two contestants attempting to match symbols found on their Lotería tablero. The first player to complete two lines on their tablero advances to the final round in an attempt to win $1,000,000.

Gameplay

[edit]

Mano a Mano

[edit]

Each contestant is given their own Lotería tablero consisting of nine cards arranged in a 3-by-3 grid. Starting with the winner of a backstage coin toss, contestants alternate selecting one square at a time from a board of 15. Hidden behind each number is a different Lotería card with a dollar value ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 in $500 increments, and every card appears on one or both tableros. If the selected card is on only one contestant's tablero, it is marked off and that contestant banks the money associated with it. If a card appearing on both tableros is uncovered, both contestants mark it off but the money goes only to the contestant who selected it.

Hidden behind several squares are “Loca Challenges,” minigames that range from physical stunts to musical performances. The challenge is presented in three parts, awarding $2,500 for completing one part, $5,000 for two, or $10,000 for all three. Once the challenge is completed, the card behind it is revealed and marked/scored as above.

A contestant earns a Lotería and a $10,000 bonus for completing a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of three cards. The first contestant to earn two Loterías wins the game and takes their winnings to the bonus round. If a contestant earns multiple Loterías in one turn, they receive $10,000 for each one and immediately win the game.

Million Dollar Lotería

[edit]

The champion is given a new tablero, consisting of 16 cards in a 4-by-4 grid, and faces a board of 20 numbered squares.

As in the main game, the champion selects one square at a time. Behind 16 of the squares are Lotería cards, all of which can be found on the tablero. The dollar values hidden behind the cards now range from $2,000 to $10,000. Loca Challenges are still hidden on the board, now consisting of five parts; the contestant earns $2,000 for each of the first four parts completed, or $20,000 for all five.

Four skull cards are also hidden on the board; each time the champion uncovers one, their bank is cut in half. Finding all four skulls ends the game immediately and forfeits the entire bank. If three skulls are found, the champion is offered a chance to end the game at that point and keep half their remaining winnings.

The champion must mark off a line of four cards in order to earn a Lotería, which awards a $25,000 bonus. Earning a Lotería also gives the champion the chance to either end the game and keep all winnings, or continue to play. In the latter case, they must continue to choose numbers until either earning another Lotería or uncovering three skulls (or the fourth one, if the contestant has already found three).

Marking off all 16 cards on the tablero increases the champion's winnings to $1,000,000.

Production

[edit]

On May 4, 2023, it was announced that CBS had ordered the series.[3][4] On August 3, 2023, it was announced that the series would premiere on October 2, 2023.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Amid low viewership (never receiving a household rating above 0.2, and the October 30 episode having a series-low of 1.1 million viewers), CBS pulled Loteria Loca from its schedule on October 31, 2023, filling its remaining timeslots with NCIS encores and Let's Make a Deal primetime specials. Besides a holiday-themed episode airing on December 24, 2023, CBS has stated that the 5 episodes remain unaired.[11]

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

Andy Dehnart felt that while Lotería Loca was "lively and vibrant in a way few American game shows are", he felt that the format itself was shallow due to being almost entirely based on luck, and felt that the Loca Challenges needed to provide more benefits to the player and have more variety.[20]
