Game Objective
Deal or No Deal is a unique game that blends fast-paced reel action with the thrill of a live game show, drawing inspiration from the well-known Deal or No Deal TV show.
The game’s objective is to qualify for the live Deal or No Deal Bonus round and predict whether the amount of money in the last one of 16 briefcases will be higher than the banker’s offer.
Game Rules
The game features three phases:
- Qualification
- Top Up
- Deal or No Deal Bonus round
Qualification for Game Show
The game begins with the Qualification phase, played using a three-reel, three-row machine with five fixed winlines, one Scatter symbol and nine paying symbols.
The goal is to land three Scatter symbols in one spin to qualify for the Deal or No Deal Bonus round. Scatter symbols may contain additional multipliers (up to 10x) that boost your total winnings.
Once you have successfully qualified, all Scatter multipliers are added together, creating a global multiplier which multiplies the amount in each briefcase in the Deal or No Deal Bonus round.
If a Scatter is on the top row, the next spin nudges it down to the middle row; if a Scatter is on the middle row, the next spin nudges it down to the bottom row; and if a Scatter is on the bottom row, it disappears on the next spin.
Please note: If the player changes the value of their bet during the Qualification phase, any Scatters collected are removed and saved with the original bet value, and the Scatter collection is reset back to zero. The next time the player uses that bet value, the Scatters collected are restored along with the bet.
The saved data expires after 90 days.
You may still get payouts for winning combinations, which are paid out according to the pay table.

To spin the Qualification reel, select your bet amount and click/tap SPIN.
Top Up
Once you have qualified for the Deal or No Deal Bonus round and are waiting for it to begin, you have the chance to spin a Top Up wheel.
TOP UP
The Top Up phase features a 15-segment money wheel. Choose your bet, spin the wheel and top up the amount of money in the briefcase of your choice by 5x–50x of your bet!
You can spin the wheel an unlimited number of times until the end of the Top Up phase. You can also change the briefcase to top up before each spin.
By increasing your Top Up bet amount, you will also increase the value of multipliers on the money wheel.
If you join the Top Up phase a specific time before the Deal or No Deal Bonus round is about to begin, a pop-up message will appear on the screen.
Click/tap BONUS to join the Deal or No Deal Bonus round or TOP UP to stay in the Top Up phase and wait for the next bonus round.
If no decision is made, you will be transferred to the Deal or No Deal Bonus round automatically.
Deal or No Deal Bonus Round
During the Deal or No Deal Bonus round the banker will gradually open briefcases, revealing the number of the briefcase that is no longer participating in the game show. The banker will then make the DEAL or NO DEAL offers to you. There will be four offers made in total.
Second opening and offer
Four random briefcases are opened, leaving nine for the next phase of game. Again, the banker will make you a DEAL or NO DEAL offer and wait for you to make your decision.
Third opening and offer
Four more random briefcases are opened, leaving five for the next phase of game, followed by the banker’s DEAL or NO DEAL offer.
Fourth opening and final offer
Three random briefcases are opened, leaving only two last briefcases. The banker then will make you a final offer with three options — DEAL, SWITCH BRIEFCASES or NO DEAL — and wait for you to make your decision.
- Choose DEAL to take the offer and collect your winnings.
- Choose NO DEAL and win the prize in the assigned briefcase.
- Choose SWITCH BRIEFCASES, if you believe that the amount of money is potentially bigger in the other briefcase.
During the last opening, one of the two last briefcases is opened.
- If you chose NO DEAL in the banker’s previous offer, you win the prize of your assigned briefcase.
- If you chose SWITCH BRIEFCASES, you win the prize of the other briefcase.
A message, displaying your winnings in the game show will appear and you will return to qualification.
Payouts
Qualification phase winlines are paid out immediately, unless the player qualifies.
Qualification reel winlines
The qualification reel has five fixed winlines
- Winlines pay if the symbols on them match the pattern in succession from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel.
- There can be one or more winlines in the same spin. Simultaneous wins on different winlines are added together.
- Wild symbols can complete any winline. If multiple Wild symbols complete a winline, their multipliers are summed up, and the payout is multiplied by the combined total.
| Symbol | Payout | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | x3 = 5.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 30.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 75.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 5.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 3.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 2.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 1.5x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 1.0x | ||||||||
 | x3 = 0.5x | ||||||||
Players can potentially win up to 75x their bet per spin with the option to top up their bet by 5x to 50x in the Top Up phase of the game.
The game has a theoretical payout cap defined and player’s Top Up bets are checked against it before each Top Up spin. If this Payout cap is reached, certain bet values might not be available.
Malfunction voids all pays and play.
Return to Player
The most up to date theoretical Return to Player percentage can be found within the game.
Disconnection Policy
If disconnection occurs after a bet is selected and the wheel is spun, the game’s result will be decided by the game’s random number generator. After reconnecting, you will be able to see the game outcome in the History window.
