If they pick a joker they will win what is under the insurance card. If they covered the 2nd joker with it, they win $5,000.[/quote]
So wait....you designate one card as your insurance card, and if it's a joker, you win whatever's underneath....I got that much. But how are you covering the second joker if you only have one insurance card?

If you cover one joker and pick the other joker, then you win $5,000, since your insurance card was a joker. At least as far as I know.

Right You Are!
Finding the first joker wipes away you're winnings and you leave with what is under the "insurance card" (BTW all dollar amounts are in the $100-$2500 range). If you have that second joker under your insurance card you leave with $5,000. It has happened.
If you play a "perfect game" you would have accumulated $10,000 at which point "Mystic Lake Casino Hotel" (plugged throughout) throws in an extra 5k for a total of $15,000.
I haven't asked Mike but I've got to think this is a format the creator is trying out and would eventually license it to other casinos. They got 2500 people in for each of these tapings so I would think any casino would like that.
