What I'm saying about "what's worse, Free Play is still present" is that Free Play, in a way, foreshadows the old Free Spin wedge from 1974-1989. Every time a contestant hit that wedge, they got a token, so they could repeatedly hand in tokens to bail out when they lost their turn. With Free Play, a contestant automatically keeps their turn every single time they hit the wedge and screw up, which is a very similar, unfair advantage, as it decreases other contestants' chances of having a turn in the round. It is thus, for this reason, that it should be understandable enough for Free Play to go and Free Spin to come back in. Unlike Free Play, the single Free Spin token could only allow a person to bail out once per game.
