How do you play Deal or No Deal, i dont get it?

Question

This game is way to confusing, i mean who applause for losing 75,000 bux? Someone please explain...

Answer 1

Its very simple, you pick a case number and they put that one to the side, then you just pick the numbers as you go along, I notice a lot of people on there get down right greedy. They should really consider a new host though, Howie is not in his natural environment, and is just there for the paycheck. I geuss greed is contagious once your there. A little common sense doesn't hurt from time to time.

Answer 2

Before the game, a third party randomly places the possible winnings in the cases, which are distributed to 26 identically-dressed models who reveal the contents during the game. No one involved in the show's production, including the host, models, or even the executive producers, knows which amounts are in the cases. Unlike many international versions of the show, the briefcases in the U.S. gallery are not distributed to audience members.

After picking one of the cases, the contestant then selects 6 of the remaining 25 cases, revealed one at a time. Each figure appears in only one case, so any values revealed in this way are not in the contestant's case. This is followed by a "phone call" by "The Banker", a mysterious figure shown only in silhouette. He purportedly sits in a skybox (situated between the two audience sections) and makes an offer, via telephone, to Mandel (his voice is never heard, except by Mandel himself) to buy the contestant's case based primarily on the mean of the cash amounts still in play, but also on the stage of the game (early offers tend to be far lower than the mean, perhaps to goad the contestant into continuing play) as well as the player's psychology (Mandel will also occasionally relay supposed insults from the Banker to the player; players often insult the Banker back). Mandel then asks the title question: "Deal or No Deal?"

If the contestant accepts the "Deal" (by pushing a stylized red button enclosed in a glass case), the game ends, and the value of the case that he or she chose at the beginning of the game is then revealed along with the whereabouts of the remaining prizes. Should the contestant refuse the offer (by stating "No deal" and/or closing the glass case), they must choose five of the remaining cases to eliminate from consideration. The Banker makes another offer, and play continues as before. The Banker's offer may be higher or lower than the previous offer (if a top prize is eliminated, generally the offer decreases; conversely, if only lower amounts are eliminated the offer increases significantly).

Subsequent rounds have the contestant withdrawing four, three, then two cases from play. Should the contestant continue to decline the Banker's offer after this point, they then eliminate one case each time (with an intervening offer from the Banker) until two cases are left. If the player rejects the final offer, they then have the opportunity to switch cases with the one remaining case before seeing their prize.

Each contestant has several supporters (usually three), who sit in a special section just off stage during his or her game. As the field of cases dwindles, one or more of the supporters are asked to consult with the contestant and help him/her make a decision. These exchanges have become emotional, particularly when very high and very small amounts remained and the Banker offers a large cash buyout; on at least one occasion, the contestant's daughters called, pleading (successfully) with her to take The Banker's deal. The contestant's supporters are typically revealed on the second Bank offer.

Often, the Banker may attach a prize to the cash in his offer. Most of the time, the prize is something the contestant wishes for (sometimes an unusual prize for gag purposes related to something the contestant likes); as on most gameshows, contestants fill out a screening sheet prior to their acceptance for broadcast, whose main purpose is to weed out unsuitable contestants, but also details their interests. If the offer is accepted, the contestant keeps the money and the prize, but if not, the prize will not be carried over to future offers.

Answer 3

you pick cases and try to eliminate low numbers. When you are offered a deal you can take it or keep going

Answer 4

basically its just like finding the average... When you take down the low nums the avg goes up... when high nums are taken out then its goes down...

Answer 5

pick cases and say deal or no deal

Answer 6
