Deal or No Deal is a British TV quiz show, the basic object being to win a prize contained in one of the boxes on offer. Half the boxes have low prize amounts, the other half have good prize amounts. The amounts to be won are listed, so you can see what prizes are left as the player picks boxes to be eliminated, leaving only two boxes at the end, one of which was chosen by the player at the start of the game, and which can be exchanged with the remaining box. Throughout the game the player can choose to Deal, in which case they accept the offer from the Dealer, or they can choose No Deal and continue to pick boxes until two remain or they choose Deal on any of the rounds.
The concept has now spilled over onto many British bingo and gaming sites in various forms. You can now play online Deal or No Deal bingo, slots, and a form of the TV game.
Anyway, Gala Bingo, one of the British bingo sites where I previously deposited sent me £5 free to try their games. As usual there was a playthrough requirement, 10X in this case, meaning I had to spend the £50 before any winnings could be withdrawn.
Taking a £5 games bonus and managing to play it through 10 times and ending up with a withdrawable amount is no easy task - the slots, for example, can eat your money up very quickly.
The Deal or No Deal game, however, takes your money much more slowly. For those looking for some enjoyment this game is brilliant - you get a lot of fun play for your money. But for bonus playthrough it is perfect.
This is because for your 50p stake (you can bet a lot more if you want, with the chance of a multi-thousand pound jackpot) the Dealer more often than not offers more than your stake - usually 51p or offers 50p or offers slightly less, such as 47p. Therefore your bonus can be getting played through with no risk or a very small loss when choosing to Deal on the first round - taking a 4p loss is not too bad a play. For those times when the Deal is not favourable there is no choice but to gamble a bit, and on these occasions you can lose most of your stake. But on the next few games you usually get a lot of good Deal offers to make up for it.
I managed to, with a bit of care (and an error or two), after around 75 bets, end up with over £2.50 Real Money. I put this all on red on the roulette and got back a fiver, which I then banked.
Even if you never see the Deal or No Deal game ever in your life the point is that when looking at playthrough requirements and how to achieve a profit it is a model of a 'good' bet. You may not win big, but at least there is a chance of squeezing a few dollars or pounds from your bonus. This principle can be applied to other bonuses, such as sports, bingo, poker etc, where the idea would be to play through the bonus with low risk in order to obtain 'Real Money' which can be withdrawn or transferred to or played on other sections of a site.
The Deal or No Deal game can be found at many British online bingo rooms, as well as at other gaming and poker sites such as PKR.
