Introduction
DEAL OR NO DEAL™ single player game pits you against the Banker in a bid to win as much money as possible. No trivia questions. No gimmicks. Just a lot of nerve. Only one question is asked - “DEAL OR NO DEAL?”
Getting Started
Correctly insert the Game Pak into your Game Boy® Advance system. Switch on the system. Press START at the title screen.
WARNING: Inserting a Game Pak when the system is already on might result in damage to the Game Pak.
Game in Brief
Playing as a contestant, you pick one briefcase from a selection of 26. This is your briefcase. Each of the 26 briefcases contains a money amount ranging from $0.01 to a staggering $1,000,000.
You must play a series of rounds each time opening a certain number of briefcases. The first round will involve you opening 6 briefcases. Each time a briefcase is opened that amount is taken from the money board.
After a briefcase opening round, the Banker will decide how much money to offer you. The amount will be based upon what is left on the money board and consequently, what could be in your briefcase.
You have to decide to take the money and “DEAL” or continue in the hope that a larger money amount shown on the money board is in your briefcase. The game ends either with you accepting a “DEAL” and taking the Banker's money offer, or with your briefcase being opened after all the rounds have been completed.
If your briefcase is opened at the end and you haven't dealt, then you are given the option to switch it with the one remaining briefcase in play. The briefcase is then opened to reveal the money. Hopefully it is a better deal than the Banker ever offered you for your case!
If you decide to “DEAL” and take the Banker's offer, you have to go through the rest of the game hoping that you made a good deal. The game is played on with the Banker displaying what he would have offered if you had decided not to “DEAL”.
You will continue to play through even after you have taken a deal but only if you take a deal beyond the first three rounds. The contestant will not play through if they take a deal in the first three rounds (after opening 6 cases, 5 cases and 4 cases respectively).
At the end of a “DEAL” game, your briefcase will be opened. You will have made a great deal if the money you took from the Banker is greater than the amount in your briefcase or greater than any amount the Banker offered after you dealt. Good Luck!
