''Deal or No Deal'' was an Australian game show that aired on the Seven Network between 2003 and 2015. It was the first international version of the game show, after the original Dutch version. It was the first of the versions to use the ''Deal or No Deal'' name. The show was recorded at the studio facilities of Global Television located in the Melbourne suburb of Southbank. The top prize of $200,000 was won by four contestants. Many changes were made to ''Deal or No Deal'' during its run. These included, among others, changing from a weekly format to a daily format; interactive features inviting home viewers to play along with "Double Deal Friday"; and additional special features added to the game (such as "Double or Nothing" and "Super Case"). The show included many special episodes including several hour-long prime-time specials (such as the "Psychics Special" and the "Unluckiest Players Special") and the successful ''Dancing with the Deals'' which occurred in conjunction with ''Dancing with the Stars''. The program celebrated its 1,000th episode on 8 September 2008; that day's contestant won $43,000. The narrator that introduced the show between 2006-2011 was Marcus Irvine, who was also the voiceover on ''The Weakest Link''. In 2012, Irvine was replaced by John Deeks as narrator. No new episodes were produced since 2013, with only repeat episodes airing at 5:00 pm weeknights. It was announced in March 2014 that no new episodes will be produced,〔 and in August 2015 it was announced that the show, along with ''Million Dollar Minute'', would be cancelled and replaced by a new one-hour game show titled ''The Chase Australia''. ==Format== The show begins in a studio with six groups of 26 people sitting in stands. One group is then randomly selected, who move onto the podium. In the chosen group, one person, based on personality, is picked to be the main contestant. The contestant selects one of the briefcases to be placed at the front, and the other briefcases are distributed to the other 25 contestants on the podium. Each briefcase contains a hidden amount of money (see table on right). The contestant begins the game by opening six cases. To open the case, the podium player holding the case must first guess the amount that they have in their briefcase, winning $500 if their guess is proved correct upon opening the briefcase. This process is repeated for the next five cases. After the first six cases, the major contestant is given a "Bank Offer," based on (but not equivalent to) the arithmetic mean of the remaining briefcases: the higher the values in the remaining briefcases, the higher the offer. The contestant now has to decide between a "Deal" or "No Deal". If the contestant says Deal, they win the money that is offered, and they must open the rest of the cases to see if they made the right decision. If the contestant says No Deal, then play continues. The contestant chooses another five cases, followed by another bank offer, then four cases. This pattern continues until all briefcases have been opened. If the player continues to the end without making a "Deal", the game ends with their own briefcase being opened and the amount in that briefcase being won. Exceptions to the end of the game include the introduction of either a Super Case, Double or Nothing cases or a second Chance. See below for more information on them. After every game a large blue fake cheque is given to the contestant displaying the amount of money won, but if someone wins one of the green amounts, the cheque will have a green coloured background for the following amounts: $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 and $200,000. Also, a light blue cheque is given to a contestant for the 50c amount if they win 50c. Occasionally, the money is given directly to the contestant, such as a single $1 coin if somebody wins $1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deal or No Deal (Australian game show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
