Trato Hecho is the Spanish-language version of the Hatos-Hall game show, Let's Make a Deal , and its title translates to "Done Deal". The show was produced in Spain and in Mexico; in addition, a version was recently produced in Los Angeles, California for the Univision television network.

The show lasted from January 10 to December 9, 2005. The host for this version was Guillermo Huesca, with an uncredited model referred to solely as la bella Elizabeth ("the lovely Elizabeth", in English game show vernacular). In addition, several male actors, referred to as los Tratochicos ("the Deal Guys"), assisted with some deals and "modeled" some of the prizes and zonks, although they did not describe them, unlike English-language version announcers Jay Stewart (1963–76) and Jonathan Mangum (2009-present) who announced and "modeled" the Zonks.

Gameplay of U.S. version

Gameplay proceeded in the exact manner as the English-speaking version, with the same wide range of deals. Contestants vied to improve their winnings without ending up with a Chasco ("letdown"), a booby prize equivalent to the "Zonks" on Let's Make a Deal. Usually a trade was completed with the idiom "Trato Hecho, jamás deshecho" ("A deal made is never broken.")

The budget for this version was quite small compared to the English-speaking version of the show. Few (if any) cars were offered, and the value of the Big Deal (El Gran Trato) usually ranged from $3,000 to $6,000. However, a few nighttime specials of Trato Hecho were produced with a heftier budget; the Big Deal could be worth up to $26,000 on these episodes.

American nexus

Trato Hecho ("Let's Make a Deal"), along with 100 mexicanos dijeron / 100 mexicanos dijieron , ¿Qué dice la gente? & 100 latinos dijeron ("Family Feud"), are two classic 1970s game shows revived for Latin American audiences because of the close cultural connections with the US.

Deal or No Deal is the name of several closely related television game shows, the first of which was the Dutch Miljoenenjacht. The centerpiece of this format is the final round which is played with up to 26 cases, each containing randomly assigned sums of money. After the player for the case game is determined, this contender claims one case or a box at the start of the game, without its contents being revealed. The contestant then chooses the other cases or boxes, one at a time, to be immediately opened and removed from play. Throughout the game, the player is offered an amount of money or prizes to quit, being asked the titular question, "Deal or no deal?" If the contestant rejects every deal and eliminates all the other cases or boxes, the player keeps the money that was in the original case or box. Thus, the contestant "wins" depending on whether the player should have taken one of the deals or should have held onto the original case or box until the very end.
