They didn't know this was the last episode when it was taped. There are actually 5 more UNAIRED episodes here on YT, #s 226-230. There is no mention on episode 230 about it being the last episode either; the cancellation wasn't announced until after it was taped.
This show had potential; IMO what killed it was the halving of most prizes, the prizes were too low, and the impossible odds of winning $1 mil., compared to Big Spin.
This show LOOKED great and had good pacing, but no substance.
@nbguy108 idk it looked like they gave away more money than the Big Spin generally did. In 2009, they gave away over $11M in the Millionaire Game alone (who knows how much total...)
@Hondo20132 But then again, I only saw so many episodes of the Big Spin. As far as I know, there were only 2 $1M spins during their final year (on the other hand, in 2004 there were 2 $3M wins).
@arhsmacdude It was cancelled due to low ratings. The CL thought that Make Me a Millionaire would be an upgrade from The Big Spin, however, MMaM ended up being, as said by many fans, inferior to TBS. Also, as Jprosa559 said, production costs of MMaM were too high, and they weren't making enough money off the show, so ultimately, it was canceled just a year and a half after its premier.
@Hondo20132 Yeah, you're right. Perhaps it would've done better if they had more games, and not in the same sequence everytime. That would've been way more exciting.
Haha I was on this Episode of Make Me a Millionaire "Jason Rosa From Porterville" The whole experience was fun they put me up at the Hilton in Hollywood and it was really fun... Too Bad they cancelled the show.

@GamePro0012 During the Big Spin's last few years, they only had 3 games (the wheel spinning, Aces High, and the Dream Machine).
