Beats me. I don't know how you could possibly make the game any more random.

You've played the DS version. You *absolutely* know how it could be made more random.

Unsure if this has been mentioned, but our local K*B Toys is clearing out the Deal or No Deal and 1 vs. 100 mini briefcase card games. 1 vs. 100 was $5.97, and I think DoND was a hair under $10.

[quote name=\'alfonzos\' post=\'175260\' date=\'Jan 17 2008, 02:30 PM\']Spotted at Walgreen's, DoND DVD with a sticker that says, "Enchanced Gameplay." I wonder what that means. [/quote]Beats me. I don't know how you could possibly make the game any more random.[/quote]
NBC offered a special edition at its online store that was supposed to be better that what was on the shelf at your local retailer. There were, as I recall, extra mini-games that the traditional version didn't include. I imagine it's possible now that some time has passed, they decided to put the more complete version out to retailers.

[/quote]If memory serves, I dealt in round two because I realized what a festering pile of monkey crap that game was, so we could move on to something good.

Slightly OT, has anyone played the (horribly rigged) DoND arcade game?

Yes...I got down to 100 and 30 tickets. I dealt for 65, and found out I held the 100 ticket case (of course!). Actually a fun game, but not worth the amount of tokens they ask for.

Yes indeed. Totally cool, wish other game shows got such a nice treatment (imagine PYL and WoF arcades with a nice, big, accurate set up) - just costs too much to play. Anybody with half a brain would not put $1 to $2 at risk just to win stuff worth significantly less in the end. I can let money go at the arcade just as fast as anybody, but the other games don't emasculate me so decisively.

Probably. And since you didn't pick Case #21, we knew you didn't have the million.

Do share with us why it's "rigged"?

Having witnessed more than a handful of playings at our local mall arcade, I would be surprised to learn that it isn't at least as rigged as your typical Vegas slot machine.

Or 8. Maybe I got the copy with some randomization. My Deal DS cartridge's first game always has the million in either 8 or 21.

Anything with predetermined, pre-programmed odds can be called rigged. I suspect the DoND arcade machines are no different.

Might be. I had it in 21 every time. I will admit, though, that after testing this 3 of 4 times I had seen quite enough.

Are you kidding me?

(Clearly we're operating from different definitions of "rigged.")

Indeed. By your definition, since all arcade games (okay, 99.9%, I'm sure there are a few that don't) have difficulty settings that are adjustable transparent to the user, they're all rigged, right? I just want to make sure I understand.
