OK then... let's play the Money Cards!!!!
(Money Cards theme plays, Cheers and Applause)
In order to win a potential $168,000 payoff, here's how it works...
You'll begin the game with $1,000 on the bottom line. Three cards for you to bet as you will.
And when you move up to the second level, we'll add $2,500 of betting money and three more cards. Minimum bets are $100...
...until you reach the top card, the Big Bet. There, you must bet at least half the money.
If at any event you get a push, you don't lose any of your wager as your bet carries over. However, at the BIG BET, if it's a push, it's a loss.
That is important, because the more correct calls you make, the better the Jackpot to shoot for at the JACKPOT CARDS.
3 Money Cards called right - $7,500
4 Money Cards called right - $10,000
5 Money Cards called right - $15,000
6 Money Cards called right - $20,000
Get all 7 Money Cards called right (a tie is not counted as a correct call) - $75,000
If you make 2 calls right or less, or bust at the second level or at the BIG BET, your opponent will play the Jackpot Cards for a $2,000 consolation prize.
And to make sure that you indeed have a chance at the Jackpot Cards...
You have been given 1 Free Joker that Momoyo is holding, and there are 3 more Jokers in the deck, so you can win up to 4 chances at the Jackpot Cards, but if only you make at least 3 correct cards.
With all that said, JDGA, I wish you the best of luck. Here's $1,000.

Also, in case if you're stuck with a middle card, you can use one of the three spare cards to change one card per line. You'll begin the game with $1,000 and...
a 5. Do you want to play this card and bet or change it? (We'll talk about the BONUS BAR when we get to a situation)
