As the topic says, that's exactly what I was doing when I stumbled upon this Deal Or No Deal Game. It's pretty simple, but fun anyways.

Has anybody found any other good games on the net lately?

Pretty addictive game, I could see where this might be suspenseful, even though it's a lot of luck involved. Nice find.

I wonder if the bribe is computed accurately.

I doubt if the bribe was accurate, but I was one case away from hitting $200K with a $101K cash bribe on my final move. I should've taken the big bribe because I was stuck with $2K. Oh well. At least the game is cool.

Is there a page somewhere with the full explanation of the rules? I've never seen the show before, so I'm not sure what is supposed to be happening when I take the deal & the game asks me to continue or end.

I haven't quite understood that either. On one game I played, I said "Deal" to a $40,000 offer, yet when I walked, I got a "check" for about $22,000.

Like I said, it's all luck-based, but it still looks like it could be a fun, suspenseful show, in a PYL sort of way.

I think the continue or end decision is a "just to see what would've happened" deal, sort of like on "Joker's Wild" after a contestant stops with the money.

I didn't quite understand how the game computed bribes or winnings either. In the game I just played, I wound up with a case worth $3000...but my final check was made out for only $750. Hopefully, when the US version premieres, it'll all make sense...

Oddly enough, I just played and when I was down to two cases, one case had the $100,000, and the other had $200,000! I was offered a deal of $150,000 but decided to go for it and say "no deal." When the case opened, it revealed $100,000...but my check amount was $0!

Ah, the lure of some games. They may be a total pain in the rear to play, and you may not get it at first, but for some reason, they keep luring you back, because you want to triumph over the game.

At least, that's how it is for me, for now. Not a bad game, but very annoying.

Ooh, that's rather interestingly bugged.

While we're on the topic of DoND, DoND is one of many games played at the Press Your Luck Palace. http://pylp.fastpalaces.com It's worth checking out. Not a bad place except for a few...how should I put this...(bleep)-offs?

I played the game a bunch of times, and the check amount in the end was never once bugged.

Incidentally, out of curiosity, does anyone know what the algorithm actually is for determining the bank offer?

I believe the way the bribe works is they take what's left on the board moneywise divided by the number of cases still left unopened(including the one the player holds). This yeilds the average ammount. Thus, the bamk bribe is that average. In my post last night, there was a $2K case & a $200K case left($202K/2) thus the $101K bribe I saw. I changed my position as far as doubting the accuracy. Now I understand how it works.

Clarification: I actually "chickened out" after the first round & wound up taking $2,158. Still, not a bad little game.
