3 answers are given to the contestants. A toss-up question is read in which 2 of the answers given are correct about the question or statement. A correct answer gives the contestant control of the cards. An incorrect answer gives the opponent control. 3 cards are dealt, one at a time. The contestant in control is given the opportunity to keep one card, give one to the opponent, and play one card in the middle which is shared by both contestants. Another question like the one above is given. At this point, the contestant in control of the 2nd question must choose to play the card, hoping it is between his 2 cards, or pass the card to the opponent, hoping the card is not within the opponent's 2 cards. If the third card is between the 2 cards of the contestant in control or if the opponent busts, the round goes to the player who won the 2nd toss-up. Otherwise, the round goes to the opponent. The first contestant to win 3 rounds goes to Pot Limit.

Pot Limit is played in a similar manner as the front game except that the champion is playing against the house, there are only 3 slots for cards, and there are a total of 8 aces and twos in the deck, making the odds of winning significantly better. The contestant starts with a bankroll of $1000 and can wager any or all of the money whether the 3rd card dealt will successfully complete a run of 3 cards. To begin, 2 cards are dealt. The contestant has the option of putting the cards in any slot desired. A card can be changed with an insurance card, some of which are located in the deck used during the main game. If a joker is pulled out of the bonus deck, the contestant earns an additional $1000. After 3 rounds of play, the contestant keeps all money won and an assortment of prizes depending on the dollar amount won.
