Each player must press their DOLLAR button to “register” in the game. If no players register by pressing the DOLLAR button, the game will not start.
If player 1 presses the dollar button, but there is no player 2 entry, the game will be a 1 player game.
After the game is selected, players must choose a difficulty level, from Level 1 (easy) to Level 2 (hard). Press the GAME button to toggle through the difficulty levels, and press the DOLLAR button to confirm.
After all players have registered, the game begins. The first monetary amount will appear on the screen(s), and the words “DOLLAR DASH” will be heard. Players must now press the coin buttons to add up to $1.00 as quickly as possible. Each coin button press will add that coin amount to that players’ total.
The first player to reach $1.00 (without surpassing it) will win the round.
There are a total of ten rounds per game.
After the 10th round, the game will choose the winner, based upon the number of rounds won. If there is a tie (For example, Player one wins five rounds, and Player two wins five rounds), there will be a deciding 11th round. The winner will be declared at the end of the game.
