‘Deal or No Deal Live’ is broken down into four stages. There are sixteen briefcases in total, each of which holds a certain amount of money. In the first round of openings, three cases will have their amounts revealed. This will leave thirteen cases active. From here, you can either choose to ‘deal’ or ‘no deal’. A ‘deal’ will result in your potential winnings being displayed in the winning message. However if you decide to choose ‘no deal’, then you will continue into the next round.
In the second opening, four more briefcases will be opened. This leaves nine to go. Here you can, once again, take the ‘deal’ or choose ‘no deal’. Similarly, the third opening leaves five briefcases for the next and final round.
The fourth set of openings, opens three of the final five briefcases. Which leaves you looking at two briefcases. Here you'll either need to choose one of three options: ‘Deal,’ ‘No Deal’ or ‘Switch Briefcases’. ‘Deal’ will mean that you accept the offer and collect your winnings. ‘No Deal’ will mean that you take home the prize inside the assigned briefcase. The ‘Switch Briefcases’ option will mean that you open up the other briefcase in the hopes it is holding the big prize.
