Deal or No Deal Live: RTP, odds and how it works

Deal or No Deal Live is Evolution's version of the TV game show: you qualify on a three-ring wheel, then play 16 briefcases against the Banker's offers.

Each qualifying spin sets the top briefcase at 75x to 500x the bet, and a Top Up wheel can add 5x to 50x to briefcases. It launched on 16 May 2019, made with Endemol Shine.

Our verdict: For players who enjoy decisions and suspense. Evolution's maths gives the same 95.42% whatever you decide.
