Gameplay

Deal or No Deal is played in many different ways around the world. Many different countries have their own version or versions of the show, each with version-specific twists on the same general format. The general format is described here.

The central game of Deal or No Deal involves a contestant

Contestant

Briefcase

A briefcase is a narrow box-shaped bag or case used mainly for carrying papers and other documents and equipped with a handle. Lawyers commonly use briefcases to carry Brief to present to a court, hence the name....
(or boxes), each of which contains a different prize (cash or otherwise). The contents of all of the briefcases are known at the start of the game, but the specific location of any prize is unknown. The value of each of the boxes or briefcases is indicated by a label or card sealed within it.

The contestant claims (or is assigned) a briefcase to begin the game. The case's value is not revealed until the conclusion of the game.

The contestant then begins choosing cases to be removed from play. The amount inside each choice is immediately revealed; by process of elimination

Process of elimination

The process of elimination is a basic logical tool to solve real world problems. By subsequently removing options that may be deemed impossible, illogical, or can be easily ruled out due to some sort of explicit understanding relative to the entire set of options, the pool of remaining possibilities grows smaller....
, the amount revealed cannot be inside the player's chosen case. Throughout the game, after a predetermined number of cases have been opened, the banker offers the contestant an amount of money and/or prizes to quit the game, the offer based roughly on the amounts remaining in play and the contestant's demeanor. The player then answers the titular question, choosing:

"Deal", accepting the offer presented and ending the game, or
"No Deal", rejecting the offer and continuing the game.

This process of removing cases and receiving offers continues, until either the player accepts an offer to 'deal', or all offers have been rejected and the values of all unselected cases are revealed. The player wins the value of the deal taken, or if no deal is taken, the contents of the player's case.

Should a player end the game by taking a deal, a pseudo-game is continued from that point to see how much the player could have won by remaining in the game. Depending on subsequent choices and offers, it is determined whether or not the contestant made a "good deal", i.e. won more than if the game were allowed to continue.

Since the range of possible values is known at the start of each game, how much the banker offers at any given point changes based on what values have been eliminated. To promote suspense

Suspense

Suspense is a feeling of uncertainty and anxiety about the outcome of certain actions, most often referring to an audience's perceptions in a dramatic work....
and lengthen games, the banker's offer is usually less than the expected value

Expected value

dictated by probability theory

The central objects of probability theory are random variables, stochastic processes, and event s: mathematical abstractions of determinism events or measured quantities that may either be single occurrences or evolve over time in an a...
, particularly early in the game. Generally, the offers early in the game are very low relative to the values still in play and approach (or even exceed) the average of the remaining values near the end of the game.

Only a few people have ever won the top prize on any version of the show (see table below). For a contestant to win the top prize the player would have to select the case containing the top prize and reject every offer the banker makes during the game. While the chances of a player selecting the top prize are reasonable (4-5% depending on how many amounts are in the game), the chances that a player will be able to turn down a number of inevitably large offers to win that top prize are much smaller.

International Variations

Various versions of Deal or No Deal have between 20 and 26 prizes in the game; some versions have only cash values, others include prizes such as a car or booby prizes. For instance, there are 26 cases in the prime time U.S. version, containing cash values from 1 cent to $1,000,000. The daytime US version

only has 22 values, ranging from $.01 to $500,000. Alternately, the Australian version

has 26 values from 50 cents to $200,000, but includes a car as one of its more valuable prizes.

The stopping points at which the Banker places an offer vary wildly from format to format. In a small number of variants, the Banker knows the locations of the prizes.

In some versions, a player who rejects all offers is given the option to swap the initially selected case for the last unrevealed case before revealing the contestant's final prize. Some versions even allow the banker to offer the opportunity to swap in lieu of a cash offer during gameplay.

Some versions occasionally add side games, with or without impact to the central game.

There are also scores of variations in presentation otherwise having little or no effect on the central game.

Worldwide, the largest active-play offer made (after adjusting for exchange rates) is €1,495,000 on Dutch version Miljoenenjacht

Miljoenenjacht (Netherlands)

Miljoenenjacht , officially Postcode Loter? Miljoenenjacht, is a Netherlands game show, the format of which has been exported to multiple countries, where it is mostly named Deal or No Deal....
, offered on November 13, 2005. The offer was accepted, and stands as the biggest win in the history of the format, despite many versions (either occasionally or permanently) having higher top prizes.

Deal or No Deal and scientific research

Deal or No Deal has attracted attention from mathematicians, statisticians, and economists as a natural decision-making experiment. A team of economists has analyzed the decisions of people appearing in European and US episodes of Deal or No Deal and found, among other things, that contestants are less risk-averse or even risk-seeking when they have seen their expected winnings tumble. In their follow-up article they find that contestants behave similarly in ten different versions of the show, despite large differences in the amounts at stake; amounts appear to be evaluated in relative terms, for example in proportion to the initial average, and not in terms of their absolute monetary value. The research project received a great deal of media attention, appearing on the front page of The Wall Street Journal

Parodies of Deal or No Deal

There are many parodies of this show, the most famous being called Meal or No Meal, a parody in which the music from the US version is used, the only difference is that there are 12 cases ranging from 1 pound to 100,000 pounds of beef. An online game following the DOND format was also released.

The first season of the Danish comedy show "Tak for i aften" featured sketches where, for example. a man tried to buy bread, and then had to choose between the bread, or some unidentified item, while the baker asked him 'Deal or no deal?', and a Muslim wedding, where the groom could choose between his bride, or other unknown people, ending up with him saying "No deal", and selecting a male bride.

The Show is also frequently parodied by the Dick and Dom team both in the Bungalow as Muck or no Muck (a creamy muck muck finale hosted by the dimunitive Little Noelly Muckmonds)and in Da Dairies of Dick and Dom with "a high-powered game of strategy" entitled Game or No Game.
