There are 3 phases
to playing Deal or No Deal: The Big Draw:
Phase 1: Buying tickets and boosting the prizes
You must buy a ticket to play Deal or No Deal: The Big
Draw. Ticket prices range from $0.10 minimum bet to $100
max bet. Once you buy your ticket, you'll see the 16
prizes that will be locked away in silver cases. You
have the option to boost the size of one or more of the
cases. Choose your boost price between $0.01 and $100
per boost. Then, click on a prize you want to boost, and
five closed cases will appear on your screen. Open a
case, and it will reveal the prize boost. You can
continue boosting prizes until the timer reaches 0 and
the game starts.
Phase 2: The first 20 balls
The 16 prizes are placed in randomly numbered cases. The
live host will start the bingo ball machine, sending out
20 balls. Any case with a matching number to the bingo
ball will be eliminated from the game. You need to
eliminate at least 7 seven cases to qualify for the
Banker's offer. If you didn't reach the 7 case limit,
the dealer will offer to sell you an additional 6 balls.
The price depends on the prizes remaining in the cases.
If you remove 8 or more cases, a multiplier ranging from
2x – 25x will be applied to your cases.
Phase 3: Banker Offer
If you qualify for the Banker offer, you will receive the
option to accept the cash offer, refuse the deal, and
continue trying to remove more cases, increase your
multiplier, or switch cases. If you switch cases, select
one of the remaining cases on the board and open it to
discover if you made a good deal.
