Deal or No Deal Strategies

Dominate the hugely popular spin-off skill game of the hit TV show

The gameshow Deal or No Deal has proved to be a storming success, and currently screens in over 40 countries worldwide. Meanwhile, the skill game version of the game is proving equally popular, and offers a big chance for players to make serious cash, with a reasonable amount of practice. Note: This is not the same as the chance-based Deal or No Deal games at JackpotJoy, Ladbrokes Games and Coral Games .

Deal or No Deal Rules

The rules of the skill game differ slightly to the gameshow version. You are randomly assigned one of the 26 numbered boxes, although this has no influence on your final score. The prize values range from £0.01 to £1,000,000, with the aim being to eliminate all boxes bar the million in the quickest time possible.

The remaining boxes are opened once only, and display a number of the prize values before closing, as well as showing some prize values that aren't on the board. The task is to click on a low value prize to remove it, which gets increasingly difficult as the levels increase, as multiple boxes are open at once and the risk of clicking on an invalid prize or the million pounds increases.

The boxes are only open for a short time, and display prizes in different ways:

• Rollover values: A set of prize values roll across the interior of the box, and clicking on a moving prize value eliminates it.
• 4 choices: The box opens 4 times in a row and shows only one value each time.
• Magnifying glass: The prizes are shown in tiny lettering, and the pointer becomes a magnifying glass which can be hovered over the letters to see the prize value.
• Memory cards: The 4 cards show prize values one at a time, and can only be clicked on once all the values have been concealed.
• Slot machine: The slot machines stop every now and then, presenting a number that can be accepted by clicking it, or left alone to spin again.

The score is calculated using a formula which takes into account factors such as the sum of remaining prizes, the number of prizes cleared away, and the number of prizes left, among other things. Added onto this is a speed bonus, which rewards quick removal of prizes. However, if a player clicks on a prize value that isn't on the board, they lose the chance to remove a 'real' prize, and the final score won't be as high.

Deal or No Deal Strategies

As always with skill games, it is essential to practice a number of times before playing for money. This is even more important with a game such as this, as following the tips below and combining them with practice will see you potentially getting scores WAY ahead of other new cash players, and can boost your bankroll considerably.

The key to getting the best score is clear: remove all the prizes except for the £1,000,000 prize. At a basic level, this involves removing all the lower value prizes in the early rounds, and higher level prizes in later rounds, leaving just the million at the end. However it is not quite as simple as it would appear.

The 'fake' prize values are a real challenge to avoid, and the instinctive reaction is to click on them because they look like low prizes. However they are very damaging to your overall score, and once one of these has been clicked on, it is impossible to obtain a score of over a million. Common 'fakes' are £0.99, £30, £150, £800 and £30,000. Remember these and don't click on them!

Fast reactions are required in the later stages, when a lot of boxes are opening one after the other and the rollover boxes are spinning very quickly. Players must therefore prioritise which boxes to click on first, so fast-moving rollover values and tricky magnifying boxes need much focus. Memory cards, slot machine and four choice boxes are less urgent, although players need to be aware of what values they are displaying.

In the first two rounds, the aim should be to remove low-value 'blue' prizes, however it is not a disaster if a high value prize is removed, unless it is the £1,000,000. It is sometimes wise to take out a high value prize with the four choice boxes, as there is no guarantee of what value is to come next. Above all, players should be avoiding fake prize values and ensuring that they don't click on them.

Rounds three and four require increasingly quicker reactions and more focused concentration, while the fifth stage is mayhem, with boxes opening and closing at a furious pace. If rounds three and four have been played well, there should be a total of six real prizes left on the board, and since the aim is just to avoid clicking on the million pounds, it doesn't really matter whether the other prizes are large or small.

Therefore the player should just be looking to make sure they don't click on either the fake prizes or the top prize. By the time the final round comes along, the pace is so fast that anything that doesn't fit the above two criteria should be clicked on instantly. In the interval between levels four and five, it is a good idea to make a mental note of which prize values are left, as this helps with recall in the frenzied seconds that follow.
