To Play the Main Game
Decide which of the four players will give their answer first. Usually start with a returning champion in the game. Have the players stand in order of their turns with the first player standing furthest left.
Start the bank with $100. Each player will earn $25 out of the bank for each correct answer every round.
Announce a subject such as "Things found at the bank" or "Food eaten at a fancy restaurant."
Go down the line left to right having contestants give an item that fits the subject.
Have your answer denied by the judges, take too much time in answering the question or repeat an answer and the next player can get you knocked out of the game if he gives an appropriate answer. In doing so, the player that gives the correct answer knocks the player that answered incorrectly out of the game and that player goes to an area marked the "bullpen" to sit out for the remainder of the game.
Knock out two contestants if both answer wrong and the third person answers correctly. Those who are wrong then go to the bullpen.
Keep playing in this manner until only one player is left. This person wins the main game and goes on to play the "Fast Bucks" bonus round.
To Play the Fast Bucks Bonus Round
Start from the bottom row of a pyramid of answers and try to match as many answers as you can to a given subject within a fifteen-second time limit if you are the winner of the main game. There are four hidden answers that the player must match exactly in the bottom row.
Move up to the second level if you match at least one answer on the bottom level and continue the process in the same manner. There are three hidden answers on the second level.
Follow the same procedure for the next two levels. Move to the next level if you match at least one answer on each level. The third level has two hidden answers and the top has one hidden answer.
End the bonus round if on any level the player fails to reveal an answer within the fifteen-second time limit.
Award $100 for each revealed answer on the board. Award $5,000 if each of the four rows has at least one revealed answer in it.
Start the game again. If the winner of the game wins the big $5,000 prize, she goes on to face three more challengers. If not, the same four contestants will play again until one of them wins the $5,000.
