Deal or No Deal (also known as The Deal) is a game show which airs in Australia on the Seven Network and in New Zealand on Prime (though New Zealand launched its own version for TV3 in June 2007). It was the first international version of the gameshow, after the original Dutch version. It was the first of the versions to use the Deal or No Deal name. The show is recorded at the studio facilities of Global Television located in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra.

Many changes have been made to Deal or No Deal since its debut in 2003. These included changing from a weekly format to a daily format; interactive features inviting home viewers to play along with "Double Deal Friday" and "Deals on Wheels"; and additional special features added to the game (such as "Double or Nothing" and "Supercase"). The show has included many special episodes including several hour-long prime-time specials (such as the Psychics Special and the Unluckiest Players) and the successful Dancing with the Deals which occurs in conjunction with Dancing with the Stars. New episodes of Deal or No Deal are currently airing 5.30pm weeknights, with repeats on Sunday afternoons on the Seven Network and weekday afternoons on Seven HD.

The program celebrated its 1000th episode on September 8, 2008 where a contestant won $43,000.[1]

[edit] Format

Briefcase values (as of 2006-Present)
50c $1,000
$1 $2,000
$2 $3,000
$5 $4,000
$10 $5,000
$20 $10,000
$50 $15,000
$100 $20,000
$150 CAR
$200 $50,000
$250 $75,000
$500 $100,000
$750 $200,000

The show begins in a studio with six groups of 26 people sitting in stands. One group is then randomly selected, who move onto the podium. In the chosen group, one person, based on personality, is picked to be the main contestant. The contestant selects one of the briefcases to be placed at the front, and the other briefcases are distributed to the other 25 contestants on the podium. Each briefcase contains a hidden amount of money (see table on right).

The contestant begins the game by opening six cases. To open the case, the podium player holding the case must first guess the amount that they have in their briefcase, winning $500 if their guess is proved correct upon opening the briefcase). This process is repeated for the next five cases. After the first five cases, the major contestant is given a "Bank Offer," based on (but not equivalent to) the arithmetic mean of the remaining briefcases: the higher the values in the remaining briefcases, the higher the offer. The contestant now has to decide between a "Deal" or "No Deal". If the contestant says Deal, they win the money that is offered, and they must open the rest of the cases to see if they made the right decision. If the contestant says No Deal, then gameplay continues. The contestant chooses another five cases, followed by another bank offer, then four cases. This pattern continues until all briefcases have been opened. If the player continues to the end without making a "Deal", the game ends with their own briefcase being opened and the amount in that briefcase being won, otherwise they win the offer they said "Deal" to. Exceptions to the end of the game include the introduction of either a Supercase, Double or Nothing cases or a second Chance. See below for more info on them. After every game a large dark blue fake cheque is given to the contestant displaying the amount won but sometimes the cheques are light blue (for 50c) and green (for amounts of $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 and $200,000 only). Occasionally, the money is given directly to the contestant, such as a single $1 coin if somebody wins $1.

[edit] Features

The Australian version of Deal or No Deal has a number of special features to make the show entertaining:

Supercase, Chance, and Double or Nothing all occur at the end of the game. Due to time restrictions, these three occur rarely. Also, only one of these features is used per episode.

[edit] Supercase

Occasionally at the end of the program a Supercase is brought out. This feature was introduced in 2004. Contestants have the opportunity to either keep the deal they made or take whatever value is hidden in the Supercase. The supercase contains one of the following values: 50c, $50, $500, $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, $50,000. Supercases appear in most episodes when contestants take a deal of approximately $10,000 when there are at least five cases left on the board, and rarely appear in any other circumstances. This means that the Supercase offers a 50/50 chance at bettering or equalling the $10,000 deal. If contestants take a $10,000 deal with fewer than four cases left on the board, Supercases are rare because there is not generally time left in the show to run it. During the 2006 season, the way of telling the contestant that a Supercase will be brought out changed, where instead of the Supercase panel flashing, a Supercase alert flashes beside the 'Cases remaining' panel, and remains there until it is actually brought out.

[edit] Chance

This feature was introduced in 2004. A Chance is an opportunity for the contestant to exchange the deal they took during the game for whatever is in their briefcase. It happens rarely, and only when the two remaining unknown case values are an extremely small and an amount of at least $5,000). For example, the contestant takes a deal of $8,000, but is offered a Chance with the remaining unopened briefcases being $500 and $20,000. If the contestant takes the Chance, they win either $500 or $20,000, depending on which value is in their selected case. If they don't take the Chance, they keep their $8,000 deal.

[edit] Double or Nothing

Double or Nothing was added in 2006. If a contestant is lucky enough to play it, two suitcases (labeled I and II) are offered to the contestant; one has the word "Double" inside, the other has "Nothing". The contestant must pick one of the cases. If Double is in the chosen case, the contestant doubles their winnings. If Nothing is in the chosen case, they lose their winnings.

The format for Double or Nothing has been altered several times. When it was first introduced, there was only one case brought out (which was the same size as the Supercase). It had only either "Double" or "Nothing" inside, and the contestant could choose how much to gamble. If "Double" was inside, the contestant wins how much they gambled as a bonus. If "Nothing" was revealed, they would lose how much they gambled from their Deal. The "two cases" format was introduced on June 23, 2006. During the 2007 season, Double or Nothing returned, though the contestant could no longer choose how much to gamble, instead having to risk their entire Deal if they wanted to play DoN. If the contestant opens the case with "Nothing", he or she will receive a large fake cheque with a "Nothing" sticker on it.

[edit] Megaguess

This feature was introduced in 2004. At random intervals during the game, the bank will offer a "Megaguess", which increases the "correct guess" bonus for the next case to either $2,000, $5,000, or $10,000. The Megaguess is usually used at the end of the game to fill in remaining time. This generally happens when the podium player is a friend or relative of the main contestant. The end of game Megaguess has adopted a small gag where either the podium player, main contestant, or O'Keefe himself must beg the banker to give the player a Megaguess.

The Megaguess feature has been altered several times during its history. When first introduced, during the $12 Million Month special, it had a fixed amount win of $10,000. When it returned in the 2005 season, the amount won was reduced to $5,000. In the 2006 season, it was altered to its current format, where either $2,000, $5,000 or $10,000 could be won. The $5,000 Megaguess has the most common appearance, sometimes showing up several times during a game, followed by the $10,000 Megaguess which would appear once early during the game, and sometimes at the end, and the $2,000 Megaguess has the rarest appearance.

In July 2008, a $25,000 Megaguess was offered for the 25,000th case opened in the show's history, but it wasn't won.

[edit] Daily Prize

This feature was introduced in 2004, but was removed in 2006. One of the briefcases (except for the CAR, $100,000 or $200,000 cases) contained gold-coloured dollar signs around the cash value inside the case. The person who was holding this case (be it a podium player or the contestant) received the Daily Prize of $500. The Daily Prize was removed in 2006, although prizes were still awarded several times during that year: in a special Saint Patrick's Day-themed episode; on Mother's Day; and during the last week of the 2006 season.

[edit] Double Deal Friday

Home viewers are invited to ring a phone number charged at AU$0.55 and register their details. Every Friday, a home viewer is randomly selected to win the same prize as the studio contestant each Friday. Host O'Keefe had mentioned that Double Deal Fridays receive over 100,000 calls each week. This generally runs for the entire season (not including repeat dates), though has been known to change start and end dates. Dancing with the Deals (the celebrity version of DoND) follows a similar format to Double Deal Friday, except that the celebrity doesn't win the prize. Double Deal Friday ran in 2007 but was dropped after 2008.

[edit] History

The first incarnation of Deal or No Deal originally debuted in late 2003 as an hour-long program. Screening on Sunday night, it indirectly competed with the Nine Network's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? by offering a maximum prize of $2,000,000. In order to fill the longer timeslot, the initial stages of the game were significantly longer than in the current half hour format. This included an interview with the man who supposedly placed the values into each briefcase, assuring that selection were indeed random. The preliminary round was also longer than the more recent format. Although somewhat successful, this incarnation of the show only lasted for one season.

The DoND logo used from 2003 to 2006.

In 2004 Deal or No Deal was shortened to a half-hour format and moved to weeknights at 5:30pm, directly competing against the Nine Network's The Price Is Right. Due to the increased number of episodes airing (5 per week over the course of the ratings period rather than 1 per week) the maximum cash prize was lowered from $2,000,000 to $200,000 and the number of blocks reduced from eight to six (200 potential contestants to 150). Deal or No Deal received high ratings in its newly revised format. Shortly after the popularity of Deal or No Deal began to rise, The Price Is Right altered its showcase round to a similar format, where contestants were forced to choose between cash incentives or the showcase periodically as the prices were lit up. Despite this Deal or No Deal continued to grow in popularity, and is believed to be a factor involved in the ratings resurgence of Seven News (which follows directly after Deal or No Deal). The popularity of the show led to Nine Network game show rivals The Price Is Right, Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune and the half-hour version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? being cancelled.

Multiple choice questions being asked on Deal or No Deal, 2006.

Many alterations to the game have been made throughout the years, mainly to entice viewers against the game show rivals, including the briefcase values (see below), and the addition of many new gameplay features (see Features). During the 2004 $12 Million Month, the Supercase, Chance and Megaguess features were introduced for the first time, and have become recurring segments ever since. In 2005, a car was introduced as a prize (replacing the $25,000 amount on the 2004 amount board). The cars have been the Renault Mégane II), valued at $33,000, in 2005, and the Peugeot 307 from 2006 onwards, valued at $30,000 approximately. In 2006, Double or Nothing was introduced to the show. Since the 2007 season, the game's format has remained the same. The only changes in the 2007 and 2008 seasons were the logo change, which occurred in 2007, the removal of the preliminary quiz (which determined who would be the main contestant) and onscreen graphics and music have been updated several times. Double Deal Friday was dropped in 2008. In 2009, not only was the layout of the money board and the cases changed, but also, once a case is opened, instead of closing it and putting it on the table, the case is remained opened to let the contestant know what cases still remain.

[edit] References in popular culture

Andrew O'Keefe appeared as himself in the Australian comedy Kath & Kim, reprising his role as host of Deal or No Deal. Character Sharon Strzelecki (portrayed by Magda Szubanski) appeared as the main contestant and Kim Craig (Gina Riley) appeared as the podium player. Sharon wins the $20,000 directly from her case (though the footage of her winnings was never shown). Several changes are made to the fictional gameplay compared to the real life gameplay, as Kim was never given an opportunity to make a guess for her case, and Sharon claims in the episode that she became the contestant by having the "fastest fingers" (the preliminary quiz was dropped from the 2007 season, and the fictional game shown was clearly the 2007 version). References to the real life version are made, as Andrew tells the girls that it's "almost news time", as the real life show is broadcast before the news.

[edit] Special shows

[edit] $12 Million Month

Starting August 31, 2004, Deal or No Deal: $12 Million Month marked the introduction of the Supercase and Chance features. It also held several hour-long prime time specials such as the Psychics Special, Conflict of the Couples and Unluckiest Players. This was due to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games which replaced Deal Or No Deal in August. For this series of special episodes, the grand prize was raised back up to $2,000,000. Here are the amounts:

Value
50c $1,000

[edit] Dancing with the Deals

Dancing with the Deals is Deal or No Deal's celebrity special series, consisting of celebrities that were featured on the entertainment show Dancing With the Stars, which is broadcast on the same network as Deal or No Deal. The specials consist of the celebrity playing the game for a home viewer, and the home viewer, who is randomly picked out of all who registered, will win the prize rather than the celebrity (similar to Double Deal Friday). The following tables show who the celebrities were, the date they appeared on, and how much they won.

[edit] Deal or No Deal - It Takes Two

In preparation for the 2008 series of It Takes Two, the show held a special week similar to Dancing with the Deals, starring celebrities who are set to appear on It Takes Two. They played on behalf of a home viewer who won the money on Deal or No Deal. Mark Wilson actually took a deal for $15,000 and was offered a second chance with $1,000 and $50,000 remaining as the final two amounts. He opened his case to reveal $50,000 for his home viewer.

Deal or No Deal - Double Shot is a series of specials where the podium will contain two briefcases with $200,000 inside them instead of one giving the contestant a 1 in 13 chance of selecting the top prize. The additional $200,000 is in replacement of the 50c amount. These set of episodes have said to answer to the premiere of Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune on the Nine Network, which will air at the same time as Deal or No Deal (except in Queensland when Wheel will air at 5pm due to Extra airing at 5:30pm). A similar special aired in 2004, with two $200,000 cases; however, the second $200,000 case replaced the $1,500 amount rather than the 50c. Also, for the podium players, should a contestant guess that there's $200,000 in their case, they must specify whether it's the actual $200,000, or the "Double Shot" $200,000 to prevent them from having a 2 in any chance of winning $500. In the 10 episodes aired, the total amount of money won by the contestants was $235,100; neither of the $200,000 cases was selected. The large fake cheques with removable numbers handed out at the end of each game also had a special new look for this series. In an odd coincidence, on the first two games aired after the special ended, one contestant won $100,000, and the next picked selected the $200,000 case but dealt during the game.

10 more Double Shot games were aired in the 2009 series during late April and early May. These set of episodes have said to answer to the premiere of Million Dollar Hot Seat on the Nine Network, which will air at the same time as Deal or No Deal. The total amount of money won to the contestants was $201,865. The $200,000 Double Shot was finally selected by a contestant on 29 April 2009 who took a deal for $30,000. Cheques used after the games were the standard blue instead of the special gold colour that was used in the 2008. The biggest winner was $40,000 on April 20 who won that amount despite losing both $200,000 cases earlier in the game.

[edit] Fantastic Four

Deal or No Deal - Fantastic Four is a series of specials that aired during 21 - 26 September and randomly throughout October and November, where the podium contained two briefcases with $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 and a briefcase containing $250,000 giving the contestant a nearly 25% chance of selecting one of them. The additional $50,000 replaces the 50c amount, $75,000 replaces the $750 amount, $100,000 replaces the $1,000 amount and the $250,000 replacing the $200,000 amount.

In the 5 episodes aired, the total amount of money given away was around $124,000. Surprisingly, the Fantastic $75,000 case was selected twice in the week. The highest amount of money won was $41,000, despite losing the Fantastic $50,000 and $75,000, plus the regular $100,000 in the first round and the Fantastic $100,000 plus the regular $75,000 in the second. Amazingly one contestant had the $150, Fantastic $75,000 and both $100,000s in play and was offered $46,000. She then lost the $100,000s in the next two rounds and was offered $36,000. She dealed and was one of the two to have the Fantastic $75,000 in her case. One contestant also dealed for $14,000 and risked it and won $20,000 in the Supercase.

On 19 October, another Fantastic Four special aired where a contestant was offered $26,500 and had the $500 and the regular $50,000 on the board. He said no deal and won $50,000.

On 3 November, another Fantastic Four special aired where a contestant won $14,340 and was offered a Supercase. He kept his own deal but the Supercase contained $30,000.

On 20 November, another Fantastic Four special aired where an unlucky contestant dealed for $1,500. Her husband was offered a $5,000 Megaguess but guessed incorrectly, and the contestant's case contained $5,000.

[edit] Banker's Rematch

Deal or No Deal - Banker's Rematch is a series of specials that aired 23-28 November 2009 where five contestants who were on the show before and won small amounts of money, came back to have another go and win more money, similar to the Unluckiest Players prime time special in 2004. Also, if a contestant from the podium made a correct guess, they will appear again the next episode in hopes of winning more money.

  • 23 November 2009. Maurice Pappas: Won $20 in April 2009.

In the first round, Maurice lost all the green amounts except for the $100,000 when he was trying to beat his highest offer from his last game which was $7,237 in the first round. In the second round, he lost the $100,000 and had the CAR and $20,000 as the highest remaining. He gradually got better during the game but didn't beat his highest offer. He lost the CAR in the fourth round and his last 6 cases only had $5,000 and $20,000 on the right hand side of the board. He kept going but lost the $20,000 and was offered $785.50. He said no deal and was then offered $1,100 after the next round. He decided to say deal and would've lost the $5,000 in the ninth round. Maurice decided to make Walter offer a $10,000 Megaguess to his wife again after failing on their first attempt. Walter offered the Megaguess but Maurice's wife guessed incorrectly again, and Maurice's case 3 had $5.

  • 24 November 2009. Rebecca Hillis: Won $20 in 2008.

Rebecca chose the same case she chose last time, case 20. In the first round she lost the $100,000 and $200,000, then the $75,000 and $50,000 in the second and third rounds. She ended up having the CAR, $20,000 and $4,000 as the only amounts left on the right hand side of the board. She decided to take an early deal of $3,500 and the next case she chose contained the CAR. At the end, $20 and $20,000 were the only amounts left on the board and Rebecca was offered a Chance. Ironically, Rebecca had a similar position last time where she took a deal of $3,000 and was offered a Chance between the $20 and $15,000. She decided to keep her deal, not taking another risk again and coincidentally had the $20 in her case.

  • 25 November 2009. Scott O'Hellaran: Won $10 in 2008.

Scott chose the same case he had last time, case 7 and his friend on the podium held case 5 again. After having a good first two rounds, he lost the $200,000, $100,000 and $50,000 all in a row in the third round. He slightly improved but soon lost the $75,000 some time later. He kept the $15,000 in play until he got to the last four cases and was offered $3,800. He decided to deal and he lost the $15,000 in the next case he selected. They got down to the last two cases and Scott and his friend pleaded Walter for a Megaguess like they did last time but failed. The boys went down to the center of the studio and wore special cash coats when Walter gave them a $10,000 Megaguess. Scott's friend guessed correctly and they won $13,800 in total.

  • 26 November 2009. Josh Sharp: Won $10 in July 2006 (after knocking out the highest four amounts in consecutive order first and getting a first Bank Offer of 10c).

In the first case opened, which was number 14, the case Josh chose last time, he lost the $200,000 for the second time in his first case. Luckily, he did not lose any other green amounts and was offered 11c as his first Bank Offer, 1 cent higher than last time. He played on and knocked out the $50,000 in the second round. Throughout the game, Josh improved and got higher offers. He got up to the last 8 cases which had the $5,000, CAR, $75,000 and $100,000 on the right hand side of the board and was offered $12,900. He decided to deal for that thinking his luck was going to run out, much to the disapproval of the audience. It turns out that he could've gotten an offer of $22,000 in the last four cases before knocking out the $100,000 and then the $75,000. The last two case amounts last were $5,000 and the CAR, when Walter offered a Chance to Josh. Josh couldn't make himself take the Chance and decided to keep the $12,900 Deal. His friend's case contained the CAR which he guessed correctly making it a total of $13,400.

  • 27 November 2009. Jemma Boyd: Won $100 in 2009.

After having a good first round, Gemma lost the $100,000 in the second round and the $200,000 in the third. She continued improving and had the CAR, $50,000 and $75,000 and three small amounts left. She knocked out the $50,000 next but continued taking risks and was left with $150, CAR and $75,000 on the board. She was offered $27,000, but thought that either her or her dad's case had the $75,000 so she said no deal but then lost the $75,000. Gemma was offered $13,000 and dealed for it straight away. Her dad correctly guessed the CAR in his case and won $500 making it a total of $13,500 and the highest amount won in the week.

[edit] Products

Products based on the Australian Deal or No Deal include a board game, electrionic game, and DVD game.

The board game, made by Crown and Andrews, is a game that features all parts of the game show. The contents include the 26 briefcases (a flat item that has a number and a slot to put the card of the cash amounts), the board showing the amounts, 26 covers, host and contestant cards, amount cards, instructions, and money.

A Nintendo DS version of the game is available in Australia and contains Andrew O'Keefe on the cover. The game is very similar to the UK's versions where they use the same character sprites, but uses Australia's 2007's cases.
