Hosted by Howie Mandel DEAL OR NO DEAL is an exhilarating hit game show where contestants play and deal for a top prize of $1 Million in a high-energy contest of nerves and raw intuition.

The game of odds and chance unfolds when a contestant is confronted with 26 sealed briefcases full of varying amounts of cash - ranging from a measly penny to $1 million. Without knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one, his to keep, if he choose, until its unsealing at games end.

The risk element kicks in when the player must then instinctively eliminate the remaining 25 cases. Throughout the game the participant is tempted by a mysterious entity known as "The Banker" who offers cash in exchange for the chosen briefcase - prompting Mandel to ask the all important question - Deal or No Deal?

Viewers will see if fortune really favors the bold. The contestant knows that as long as the larger cash prizes haven't been opened, the Banker's deals will only get higher; but if the wrong suitcase is opened the Banker's offer could evaporate.

Based on the successful format from Endemol that has aired in over 50 countries, the series is produced by Scott St. John.
