Welcome to the Deal or No Deal FAQ! This guide provides you with a run down
of all the modes in the single and two player modes, including strategies and
charts to help you work out the odds on what could be in that next case.
This game is a lot more fun in multiplayer, so if you have a buddy with the
game, give it a go!
Enjoy the guide,

The first version of the FAQ, everything is complete!
===============================================================================

2. SINGLE PLAYER
--------------------
===============================================================================
-------------
2.01. TV Game
-------------
This is the game from the show. If you haven't seen it before, or don't know
the rules, here's the skinny. There are 26 boxes with different amounts of
money in, starting from $0.01 to $1,000,000. You first choose your box.
Now you then pick other boxes to open to see their amounts, so you slowly
get an idea of what could be in yours (so if you open a lot of high ranking
numbers, there is a good chance yours is a low one). Every few boxes the banker
offers you a deal to purchase your box from you - to which you have to decide
whether to deal, or not to deal.
$.01 $1,000
$1 $5,000
$5 $10,000
$10 $25,000
$25 $50,000
$50 $75,000
$75 $100,000
$100 $200,000
$200 $300,000
$300 $400,000
$400 $500,000
$500 $750,000
$750 $1,000,000
The run of play goes as follows. You choose one box (25 left) and then choose
6 boxes to open before your first deal (19 left). After the first deal you
pick another five cases to open (14 left). After the second deal you pick
another four cases to open (10 left). After the third deal you pick another
three cases to open (7 left). After the forth deal you pick another two
cases to open (5 left). After each case you get a deal, until you have one
remaining. At this point you get to either keep your case your swap it with
the remaining case in play. This is up to you; you'll then discover how
much is in your case and you win that amount.
So it goes -
26 - YOUR CASE
25 - Six left
24 - Five left
23 - Four left
22 - Three left
21 - Two left
20 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
19 - Five Left
18 - Four Left
17 - Three Left
16 - Two Left
15 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
14 - Four Left
13 - Three Left
12 - Two Left
11 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
10 - Three Left
9 - Two Left

DEAL OR NO DEAL?
7 - Two Left
6 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
5 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
4 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
3 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
2 - One Left
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
1 - One Left
SWAP
Fin
- The overall aim of the game is to beat the banker, to end up with a case or
a deal that is larger than the one you have.
- Your aim is to keep as many large numbers on the board - $75,000 and up
is ideal, however you'd like the top four.
- This game is totally random, so there is no real strategy. However you might
want to choose certain numbers in order - like counting up and down, odds and
evens, etc.
- There is almost no point in Dealing. You cannot lose any (real) money in
this game, so you may as well as go to the end unless you want to leave
with a personal high score for yourself (although they are no saved!)
- Calculate the odds of actually bettering the deal you have been given.
If you have four low numbers and two high numbers, there is more of a chance
of you picking off the low numbers simply because there are more of them.
It works the other way round too.
- You are given an offer lower than before, then you can either deal or
stick on until you beat it again (depends on what you have left on the
board).
----------------
2.02. Vault Game
----------------
In this game you have to open the vault by choosing the right combination.
Pick three boxes at first, and you are told how close you are, by saying each
number is either higher or lower than your choice. You gotta remember each
number in order to then pick higher or lower ones afterward. As you get
unlimited goes, I recommend you just concentrate on one number at time, and
also work in extremes - if you pick 5 and the number is higher, jump to 20
to see what it is then. If it's still higher you have it easy, otherwise
work between those two numbers until you get it.
--------------
2.03. High Low
--------------
This game has you guessing if the next box is higher or lower than the one
previously chosen. Pick a case and you get to pick another, then guess if that
value would be higher or lower.
$.01 $1,000
$1 $5,000
$5 $10,000
$10 $25,000
$25 $50,000
$50 $75,000
$75 $100,000
$100 $200,000
$200 $300,000
$300 $400,000
$400 $500,000
$500 $750,000
$750 $1,000,000
This game, like dealing in the main game, works on logic. If you get $75 for
example there is higher chance that the number will be high, simply because
there are more boxes to choose from. HOWEVER as you go through the boxes
they get taken away, so you have to remember what amounts have gone, making
the game a lot tougher. You can write down the above list and cross off the
amounts you have so you know what you are up against. If you get one wrong
you lose! You are given the amount you got right at the end. See if you can
make it to the end without getting any wrong!
===============================================================================

3. MULTIPLAYER
------------------
===============================================================================
------------------
3.01. Head-to-Head
------------------
This is the TV Show with two players. You each pick a box and take it in
turns to whittle down the boxes. You'll obviously get different boxes and
deals as you go, and the aim is to leave the game with the best deal.
This is much more fun in the main game in the sense that you have a real
objective as to get the highest money, so dealing is more important here.
Really calculate the odds of what the next case could contain, and aim to
beat your buddy!
---------------
3.02. Best Deal
---------------
This is the TV show, but one player is the Banker and the other the
Contestant. The contestant chooses the boxes and when it comes to the
Banker, they decide the amount of money to offer. You can either give them
as much or as little as you like. Again this is more interesting than the
single player mode as if gives you more incentive to work out odds and the
like.
