How to Play

UK Game

The game starts with 22 identical sealed boxes. In the first round the player must choose five boxes before the first offer from the Banker. The player must then decide on whether to take the offer. You will then be asked the question, “Deal Or No Deal”. The player must answer either, “Deal” to accept the offer or “No Deal” to decline the offer and carry on.

In the second round 3 boxes are opened before the player receives another offer from the Banker. Again you will be asked the question. Three boxes are opened in the third, fourth and fifth round followed by the question “Deal Or No Deal”. If the player decides to “No Deal” they will continue in this fashion until only two boxes remain. When the last two boxes remain the Banker will give his final offer. If the player says “No Deal” at this point, the Banker may offer the player to swap their box with the other remaining box. The player may decline or accept the swap. Once a player accepts the offer by saying “Deal”, the game is still played out in exactly the same way. They must choose the boxes they would have chosen in open play. The Banker will continue to give the offers in order see whether the player has made the best deal.

US Game

The game starts with 26 identical briefcases. In the first round the player must choose six cases before the first offer from the Banker. The player must then decide on whether to take the offer. You will then be asked the question, “Deal Or No Deal”. The player must answer either, “Deal” to accept the offer or “No Deal” to decline the offer and carry on.

In the second round 5 cases are opened before the player receives another offer from the Banker. Again you will be asked the question. Four boxes are opened in the third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth and one case in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth rounds.

If the player decides to “No Deal” they will continue in this fashion until only two cases remain. When the last two cases remain the Banker will give his final offer. If the player says “No Deal” at this point, the Banker may offer the player to swap their case with the other remaining case. The player may decline or accept the swap.

Once a player accepts the offer by saying “Deal”, the game is still played out in exactly the same way. They must choose the case they would have chosen in open play. The Banker will continue to give the offers in order see whether the player has made the best deal.
