Double or Nothing

Double or Nothing was a sidegame on Deal or No Deal. Howie claimed he would ask a question at the end of the show, but it was not deal or no deal, yet it could make them win $2,000,000. After the contestant finished their game, two giant cases were brought out on stage held by five of the Deal or No Deal models. Howie would explain that one case holds DOUBLE, and the other holds NOTHING and asks if they want to play. The two contestants decided not to play the game, but they played it out to see what would happen. When it was played, they would have to choose the left case or the right case (due to the fact that the cases were not numbered and had the Deal or No Deal logo printed on them). The five models then open the case (Howie does say all of their names) and then their winnings will double or go down to $0.

History

The first contestant, Kathy Beck, won $99,000 but would have doubled it to $198,000 had she played. The second contestant, Angela Teta, won $1,000 and would have lost it had she played.

NOTE: The Australian version of the show, also had this special game, but it is different than this version.

Trivia

• On the Wii, the cases were numbered but one model will open the case. Unfortunately, they did not show the five models that they open the case.
