However, if a trader selected one of the other two doors, he or she forfeited the Big Deal prizes but kept the cash amount behind the door. The Super Deal was discontinued when the show permanently moved to Las Vegas for the final season (1976–77), and Big Deal values returned to the previous range of $10,000 to $15,000. Other deals related to pricing merchandise are featured in order to win a larger prize or cash amount. Sometimes traders are required to price individual items (either grocery products or smaller prizes generally valued less than $100) within a certain range to win successively larger prizes or a car. Other times traders must choose an item that a pre-announced price, order grocery items or small prizes from least to most expensive, or two items with prices that total a certain amount to win a larger prize.
At least one of the piñatas contained the $5,000 or car keys, while the rest had candy as a consolation prize. Closer to LA - A contestant can win three trips by choosing the distance of a particular trip closest to LAX in flight miles. Once each distance is locked in, Wayne offers a contestant a sure thing. If the contestant is incorrect, the contestant wins nothing. Cat's Word – A contestant can win cash by spelling a seven letter word. The larger the spelling word, the more cash he/she can win.

Dressing up as a ghost or something else very common will not likely get you picked. Finally, you must be 21 years of age and older to be a contestant. Being told the weight or number of items in a prize behind a box or curtain, and then choosing to keep it or sell it back to the host for a certain price per pound/item. Two or more traders guessing the weight of a studio audience member chosen by the host, with cash awarded to the trader whose guess is closer. Making decisions for another person, such as a spouse or a series of unrelated traders, or every member of a team receiving the same item based on majority vote.
The trader thus does not know if they are getting something of equal or greater value or a prize that is referred to as a "zonk," an item purposely chosen to be of little or no value to the trader. Monty's Cash Register – wherein a couple had to punch keys on a 15-key register. Exactly 13 buttons hid amounts of either $50 or $100 and 2 were marked "no sale", and getting to a stated amount (usually $500–$1,000) won a grand prize. Stewart marked off any buttons hit so they could not be used again.
First Game: Smash for Cash
He was absent only twice during that span due to illness; in 1971 Dennis James was called on to substitute while in 1985 Geoff Edwards hosted a week of episodes while Hall recovered from a bout of laryngitis. In 2020, a primetime special called Let's Make a Deal Primetime on CBS was announced by making the show one of the first to appear in primetime on the three legendary networks as a regular primetime series. In this prime time show, more expensive prizes are offered. NBC Daytime/Nighttime – The status of this era is unknown, although it's very likely that the original tapes were wiped as they were recorded over by NBC with new programming in an era when videotape was expensive. The 1963 pilot exists, with Wendell Niles as announcer, contestants in normal business attire , and a Zonk behind one of the doors in the Big Deal (worth $2,005). The 1967 nighttime finale exists in the Library of Congress, along with a few scattered daytime episodes.
To begin, a contestant spells out a word then Cat will sing the word. The contestant can elect to take the unknown or the remaining money. I let the my five year old write all the numbers and words on the cards. I let my 3 year old help “make” the chart that showed what our contestant would win if he got enough money. Depending on the game, the trader is given the opportunity to stop playing at various points, keeping any cash/prizes already won or accepting an offer of a guaranteed prize, or continue to play and risk losing everything.
Let's Make a Deal Telephone Game
Only if the contestant won the Big Deal would the contestant's card be revealed. If the card was the Mega Deal, they won every non-zonk, non-cash prize on the show that day. Regardless, at the end of the Big Deal, whichever door was chosen was the contestant's to keep.
To compensate this, no other cars are offered throughout the show. If a contestant wins a fabulous car, he/she automatically gets first shot at the Big Deal of the day. Publisher's Clearing House Week - Played in the normal format except the fact the show is guaranteed to give away $20,000 a day for the week from Publisher's Clearing House. In addition, many of the games replaced the car prize with $20,000.
9 Cards – A contestant is asked to cut a standard deck of 53 playing cards . A la Hi-Lo and Card Sharks, the first nine cards are dealt. The player may either go from left to right or right to left. If the Joker is revealed at any time, the game is over and they lose everything.
The 2009 main was also used during Game Show Mashup week in 2016. The losing horns were also used if a contestant lost a game. Zonk Redemption – Usually held near the end of each season, contestants who got zonked got a chance to try again. The Vietnamese version called O cua bi mat ran three years on VTV3 from 2009 until 2012, hosted by Tran Ngoc. The short-lived British version called Trick or Treat hosted by Mike Smith and Julian Clary ran only for three months on ITV in 1989. A Portuguese version called Negocio Fechado ran for a brief period from 1999 until 2000 on SIC.
For each new roll, if a specific number has come up, the contestant wins an amount of cash behind the number. Once a number is rolled, neither contestant can roll that number again. The first time a contestant rolls a duplicate number, they are allowed to use a FREE ROLL pass to roll again.
He could stop and walk away with the prize he won or keep going for the big prize BUT if he picked both boxes with the zonks in them then he would lose everything. When you enter the studio's waiting area, you will have a chance to indicate that you're interested in becoming a contestant. At that time you'll have to do a series of short interviews in which you tell the casting staff a little bit about yourself, fill out the appropriate forms, and do a short video test to see how you appear on film.
Choosing between a known cash prize and a chance to spin a carnival wheel, which can award a car, larger/smaller cash amounts, or a zonk. Deals are often more complicated than the basic format described above. Additionally, some deals take the form of games of chance, and others are played as pricing games. Technically, traders are supposed to bring something to trade in, but this rule has seldom been enforced. On several occasions, a trader is actually asked to trade in an item such as their shoes or purse, only to receive the item back at the end of the deal as a "prize".
