You are given about eight seconds to choose a card. If
in that time you have not chosen a card the card
highlighted is brought down for you to answer.

You attempt to answer the question in the time limit
represented by the yellow bar. If you get the answer
correct (selected by pressing either up, down, right or
left) then you move on up to the next row of cards
shown on the upper right of the screen.

If your answer is incorrect then you might be given
another go (a dog's chance). If your answer or answers
are incorrect then you choose between CONTINUE or
RESTART. If you do nothing you will RESTART which will
cost you 20p from your starting money of 80p.

A very entertaining feature of this quiz are the
expressions of the contestants shown at the top of the
screen. Not only do their expressions reflect their
general financial state but when answering a question
their faces reflect their success, or lack of it. As the time
limit approaches they look more glum at their
impending failure.

If you continue answering correctly right up until the
last, top, card you then enter the CASH RUN. Extra
money is earned for each coin question correctly
answered.

Every so often you are offered a JACKPOT. If you
answer this question correctly then you can choose
between doubling your money shown on the top right
of the screen or banking your winnings (your bank is
shown at the top left of the screen, beneath your head).
