Jim: "Here's $200..."
Jim:"And as always a choice of two base cards"
Later changed to a choice of two on each line, not just the first line.
The idea is to bet an amount of money on whether the next card is higher or lower. On the second row, you get $200 more. Minimum bets are $50, until...
Jim: "You get to the Big Bet,
where you must bet at least half
the money."
On the pilot, some things looked different.
Like the contestant podium...
...the Sudden Death board...
(which had one more card than
the series)
...and the Money Cards.
Full set shot from the pilot, which is always seen in the opening of the Perry shows. Notice the Money Cards board and "Play Off" displayed on the card board.
