Format

Two contestants vie for the chance to win big bucks in the "Juan Bank" and make it all the way to the jackpot round in order to keep their earnings. The four rounds of games the contestants go through are the following:

Enter Your Pin Code - Correctly go through the process of withdrawing money at the ATM (Ayuda 'Teh Machine) within two minutes, with the correct debit card of their choice and corresponding pin. The cards are divided into three pools: 1 out of 4 bronze cards worth P10,000, 1 out of 6 silver cards worth P20,000, and 1 out of 8 gold cards worth P30,000. The maximum prize possible is P60,000.
Deposit Silip - A guessing game in which contestants try to guess the amount of the money banks by each person or owner presented as close as they can without going overboard. The maximum prize is set at P50,000.
Coin/Gold Rush - Similar to Eat Bulaga's former segments such as Hakot All You Can and Hakot Pa More!, the contestants try to race against time while gathering as much coins as they can using only their hands and arms. After one minute, the weight of their gathered coins (in kilograms) will be multiplied by P1,000 and added to their earnings. If either one goes a rare special variable, he/she will has his money doubled.
Jackpot Round: Huli Cash - Similar to Eat Bulaga 's Lucky Truck (based on Wowowee's Cash Motto and the Wowowillie & Wowowin segment Cash Salo), pieces of confetti (bills) worth the value of their previous earnings are sent flying in a wind chamber (deemed as the "bank vault"), all up for the lone contestant to collect within one minute, with a single blue bill included worth an extra P10,000. The maximum prize is set at P150,000.

The consolation prize for the losing contestant after round 3 is set at P15,000.

Former

Cheque or X - A guessing game in which contestants try to guess the retail value of the items or services presented as close as they can without going overboard. The maximum prize is set at P50,000.
