NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Deal or No Deal (US game show)

The United States version of the game show Deal or No Deal, (often shortened as Deal) hosted by Canadian actor-comedian Howie Mandel, premiered on December 19, 2005 on NBC. After an initial weeklong event and another in February 2006, the show aired multi-weekly from March to June 2006, typically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In September 2006, the show returned with another weeklong event, followed by regular airings through June 2007; a Monday night edition aired all season, with additional airings at various times through the season on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The show returned for its third season on September 17, 2007, and is scheduled to air Wednesdays and Fridays.^[1]^[2] The season debut episode on September 17 featured Donald Trump as the banker.

The show featured ten contestants competing to become the next great mentalist, to be determined by viewers voting by phone and online. ...

Gameplay

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?" There are several usages of the term Skybox: Skybox (video games) refers to computer animation sky boxes. ... In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean (or simply the mean) of a list of numbers is the sum of all the members of the list divided by the number of items in the list. ...

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, the player wins whatever is in his or her chosen case. Occasionally, the player is given 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 (one time, they were revealed on the third offer).

Often, the Banker may attach a prize or prize package to the cash in his offer, or sometimes the whole offer will be a prize (or package). 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.

Odds and probabilities

When a contestant is presented with the original 26 cases, he or she has a 3.85% (1 in 26) chance of selecting a case containing any of the available dollar amounts. (Compare this to the standard American roulette wheel, where selecting any of the available 38 numbers offers casino players just 2.63% (1 in 38) of selecting a winning number.) Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning small wheel. In the game a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular surface running around the circumference of the wheel. ... This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

If the contestant were allowed to open this case immediately, theoretically it would contain $750 or less half the time (13 of 26 cases) and $1,000 or more half the time (13 of 26 cases); the median (middle) case value is $875. However, because of the very large top prizes, the mean (average) value of that case is $131,477.54. If every contestant refused every deal (eventually being able to open their initial choice), the gameshow would expect to pay out approximately $131,131 per contestant on average. However, most of the gameshow's payouts would be concentrated in a few big winners -- and most contestants would leave with very disappointing earnings. This article is about the statistical concept. ... In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean (or simply the mean) of a list of numbers is the sum of all the members of the list divided by the number of items in the list. ... In probability theory the expected value (or mathematical expectation) of a random variable is the sum of the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment multiplied by its payoff (value). Thus, it represents the average amount one expects as the outcome of the random trial when identical odds are...

Special Games

To keep the gameplay exciting and to preserve interest in the program, the show occasionally introduces one-time or short term special gimmicks to the games.

Double Deal

In some games, the game was played for double the stakes, in which all values on the board were doubled. In at least one game, involving twins, two lucky cases were also chosen.

The Green Case

In the Thanksgiving 2006 episode, the third game had a special green bonus case, held by Keltie Martin, in which the contestant would win if the $1 million was kept in play after the first two rounds. Alas, in the first round, the $1 million was picked off, in Keltie's most substituted case, Brooke Long's, case #15. The amount inside the case was never revealed. Keltie Martin (born in Santa Clarita, California) is a model for the TV game show Deal or No Deal. ...

Double or Nothing

In two games in the 2006-2007 season, contestants were offered a chance to double their winnings, or lose everything. Two large cases were brought out, in which the contestant chooses one of the other. The case holding the word "double" meant the contestant's winnings were doubled; "nothing" meant the contestant loses all their winnings.

Million Dollar Mission

From September 26, 2007 to October 12, 2007, Deal or No Deal featured the Million Dollar Mission, where each game had an extra $1 million case added until it is won, up to a maximum of eight; the new million-dollar case replaces the highest remaining case value (e.g., when there were six $1,000,000 cases, the highest non-$1,000,000 value was $100,000).^[4] During the course of this mission, no one won the million dollars, and three contestants had the million dollars in the case each had chosen, but then later sold it. The mission ending without a millionaire caused controversy with many fans that believed that the mission would continue until someone finally won the top prize.^{[citation needed]}. However, the mission will return later in the season.^[5] is the 269th day of the year (270th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

$100 Million Giveaway

In addition, Howie Mandel mentioned on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that at one point the show will eventually try to give away an unprecedented $100 million.^[6] This occurred on November 16, 2007, where 3 teams of two competed in a game for $100,000,000 in honor of Hershey's 100th anniversary. In this game each team chooses two cases out of 150, with each team having their own set of 150 cases. If they matched two halves of a wrapped Hershey's kiss, they would win the top prize. None of the teams got either half, but they each received $100,000 for their efforts.

Lucky Case game

During its first week on the air, there was a $10,000 home viewer giveaway, wherein home viewers were invited to send a text message stating what they thought was the "Lucky Case." Entries to the contest were also accepted via the NBC website. A correct answer placed that viewer in that night's drawing for the $10,000 prize. Image File history File links Luckycasegame. ... Image File history File links Luckycasegame. ...

The Lucky Case game was altered for the 2nd week-long special, and the format carried over to the regular series. Instead of using the preexisting cases from the contestant's game, it uses a separate set of six gold-plated cases, as held by the show's models. Also, statistics are displayed before some commercial breaks showing the distribution of votes for each case. The voting has been removed in late 2006. Depending on the time of year, there are two or three different winners of the Lucky Case game each night -- there are games for the Eastern/Central and Pacific time zone feeds throughout the season. There is a separate Mountain time zone game during the part of the season when the United States is on standard time. Each time zone has its own separate winning case number.

The viewer's prize is usually $10,000; however, occasional special episodes offer an increased prize of up to $100,000 (or $20,000 in the first season). On March 12, 2007, the announced prize progressively increased from $10,000 to $50,000 during the show; however, the actual cash prize was $50,000. On the May 7, 2007 episode, for the 100th episode of the show, viewers had a chance to win $100,000 in the Lucky Case Game. On the September 17 and September 19, 2007 episodes combined, $1 million was offered to a home viewer with the winner to be annouced live on September 26th when 2 models show up at their home. The winner was Rolly Eugene Kishen of Cottage Grove, OR. Also on the same episode, there were 4 models instead of 6 so people apparently had a better winning chance (although in fact, the chances were less, because the pool of possible winners is larger). is the 71st day of the year (72nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On Global, they do not show the Lucky Case Game segment, as the Canadian viewers are not eligible to participate. When repeats are shown on CNBC, the Lucky Case Game is not shown on the air.

On Double Deal days, the Lucky Case game doubles, just like the case amounts, up to $20,000.

The show appeared again on NBC each night February 27 through March 3 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with the top prize (and some of the higher-valued cases other than the top prize) escalating until the prize reached $3 million (and the lowest-valued case going up to $.03). As of March 6, the show settled into regular time slots at 8:00 p.m. Mondays and Fridays, with the top prize returning to its original $1 million. Wednesday episodes were added at 8:00 p.m. due to the show's consistent ratings success. In something of a ratings coup, the April 3 episode of the show, a two-hour special, outrated the NCAA basketball tournament final in a head-to-head competition.

Since it became a regular series, Deal or No Deal consistently placed within the 20 most popular programs on television, at times attaining the top 10. The June 5, 2006 2-hour season finale, which featured Celine Dion via satellite, marked a series-high rating for the program, bringing in over 18 million viewers and a strong 5.5 share in the 18-49 demographic. The episode was easily the highest-rated show on any network for the week of June 5 through June 11, outdistancing the number-two show, a repeat episode of CSI, by almost six million viewers.

Season two (2006-2007)

The show returned with new episodes in September 2006, airing on Mondays and Fridays at 8:00 and Thursdays at 9:00 — the latter time slot being perhaps the most competitive in U.S. television, as Deal or No Deal faced a pair of big hit series in CBS's CSI and ABC Grey's Anatomy.

Deal 's Thursday time slot had initially been intended for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip when NBC announced its fall schedule. However, the need to protect the new series against stiff ratings competition caused repercussions throughout the network's primetime grid, including a move on May 25^[12] of Deal from its announced Friday time slot to Thursdays. The drama Crossing Jordan, which had been planned for a mid-season run, was to be brought into the Friday lineup in what would have been Deal 's second weekly time slot. However, after Deal or No Deal completed airing special episodes in that time slot to success, NBC moved Crossing Jordan back to midseason and used Deal on Fridays as well to help launch a sister series, 1 vs. 100.

The Friday episode of the show also did well in the ratings and won its time slot against the other networks.

The success of Deal or No Deal was a factor in NBC's decision to program another Endemol game, 1 vs. 100, which premiered on October 13 and assumed Deal's Friday night time slot on October 27. Meanwhile, NBC announced the Thursday episodes would end with the November 8 episode, to be replaced by sitcoms Scrubs and 30 Rock. Through all these changes, the Monday night edition of Deal continued to win its timeslot by a large margin. On Monday, October 30, 2006, for instance, Deal won its time slot with a 10.3 household rating and 16 percent share, easily outdistancing second-place Prison Break at 5.6/8. Interestingly, during the November sweeps period, the ratings for Deal or No Deal on Thursday grew slightly despite heavy competition in the timeslot. NBC moved the second weekly episode of Deal or No Deal to Wednesday at 9 p.m. as of January 2007, and also added a few episodes at 7:00 p.m. Sundays in hopes of giving a boost to its new post-football lineup. NBC announced on February 16, 2007 that the second airing would move from Wednesdays to Sundays at 9 p.m. (Eastern/Pacific) starting March 4.

Season three (2007-2008)

Following a season-premiere episode on Monday, Deal vacated its stable Monday night home in a last-second decision by NBC to give the timeslot to a drama series, Chuck, for which it had high hopes. (This move contradicted earlier statements from the network that it planned to exclusively use unscripted programming in the 8 PM hour.) Deal moved to a Wednesday/Friday schedule, pushing 1 vs. 100 to midseason. Both airings tended to win their timeslot in total viewers, with the Friday edition also winning in Adults 18-49 and the Wednesday edition placing second in that demographic behind ABC's Pushing Daisies. In another surprising move, NBC replaced the Wednesday airings with a short-run reality series, Phenomenon, starting in late October.

Future syndicated version

Unaired episode

At least one episode of Deal or No Deal was produced, but was rejected for broadcast, as the producers felt that the outcome looked bad for the show. Halie Swan of Vernon, Texas was a contestant on Deal or No Deal on what was to have been the first Million Dollar Mission game, to have been broadcast in late September 2007 -- this first Million Dollar Mission game featured two $1 million cases. In this episode she rode a horse on stage, and she met country singer LeAnn Rimes, who was a guest in that episode. However, in the first round of gameplay, she picked off both $1 million cases from the board; in the end, she won $50,000. Despite keeping promises not to reveal the outcome to anyone, producers later notified her, saying that her show won't air, as they felt it was a bad start for the Million Dollar Mission; however, she can still keep the $50,000. The producer mentioned that this was the first time a completed game has gone unaired. ^[25] Vernon is a city in Wilbarger County, Texas, United States. ...
