Gameplay

For each episode, six contestants are asked general knowledge questions which they must answer correctly two times in order to proceed into the main game. The contestants can buzz in if they think they know the answer before the host finishes reading out the answers. However, a single incorrect answer will cause that contestant to be eliminated from the game.

The contestant who manages to answer two questions correctly proceeds into the main game. After the host asks what he/she would do with the money, the money board and then the Revlon girls (or beauties) are introduced. The contestant selects one case from 26 with the hope that it contains the highest value.

After that, the contestant is invited to pick cases to eliminate, now with the hope that it contains the smallest amount since cases eliminated are not in the contestant's case. Once the cases are eliminated, the host then receives a phone call from the mysterious "banker" who wants the contestant to leave with the least amount of money may gives comments and gives the offer to the host who then reveals it to the contestant.

At this point, the contestant is given the choice of selling the case and whatever amount contained in it to the banker and taking the banker's offer (by pushing the button inside the case) or rejecting the offer and open more cases (the number of cases opened decreases as the game progresses) (by closing the button cover), but not before being tempted with the catchphrase "Deal or No Deal".

Early in the game, the contestant is asked to introduce a few persons sitting aside invited by him/her. They can be of some help to the contestant, since they might give advice on what to do next and on which cases to eliminate.

The game is accompanied by the applause and chants of the audience which include the lowest value unopened and usually chant "No Deal!" (this changes when the audience perceives the risk as being too great) when the contestant is being offered the banker's amount.

When the contestant finally decides to accept the banker's offer or rejects the offer with only two cases left, the contestant is presented with a question where the host can provide only clues and that the persons sitting aside can give help but only for a short while before the host finally pressures the contestant for the answer. The audience isn't allowed to help the contestant in any way at this point. If the contestant answers the question correctly, the full amount is won. Otherwise only 20% of it can be taken home.

At this point, if the contestant accepted the banker's offer, he is given the scenario that if he/she didn't accept the banker's offer and opened another case, the contestant chooses a case, this time hoping for large amounts (since large amounts coming off the board cause the offer to drop) and what would the offer from the banker would be. When this finally goes down to two cases, the contestant is given the choice of opening one of the two cases (which contains the amount of money that will be taken home). The amounts in those two casings is eventually revealed and the game ends.
