Who watched Lets Make a Deal as a kid? I did! I was always trying to tell the guest player which door to pick. I like to think I was more right than wrong. Here is a way you can play this old time popular game show at home. Getting the prizes for the game is half the fun. |
Summary: This is a game of mystery and trade.
Ages: From 7 to 17
Recommended Number of Players:
Between 3 and 10
Equipment:
Three boxes, all the same size
Prizes that fits in each box
Incentive prizes
Set Up:
1) Write on one box, 'Door #1', the next box 'Door #2' and the last box 'Door #3.'
2)While choosing the prizes, make sure you get three grades of quality. Get enough REALLY COOL stuff that all your guests could have one if they choose the right Door. Have some pretty fun prizes and also some booby prizes, called Zonks, for the other Doors. Make sure what you purchase will fit inside the boxes.
3) Place one prize of each type under the boxes without anyone seeing. You do not have to put the REALLY COOL prize in Door #1 because you don't want your guests to figure out a pattern.
How to Play:
The first contestant chooses a Door and the prize inside that box is revealed. The contestant can then keep that prize or be given the choice to choose another Door. Offer incentives, like candy, money, etc. to see if they will keep the first prize chosen. They may keep either the first prize AND incentives or choose another Door. If they choose another Door, the contestant gets to keep the prize inside that box and no other incentives.
Winner:
Everyone who plays wins something at this game

How to Trade Up to Big Wins on the Let’s Make a Deal Slot
With so much going on in terms of features and jackpots, you might be distracted from the core gaming. This is a 5 reel video slot with 4 rows of symbols, and lining them up will pay prizes just like on regular slots. There are stacked symbols, and double sized ones (in the form of your host Wayne Brady).
You’ll find the individual wins are on the smaller side, with the bigger prizes coming by lining up several wins in the same spin (this is a common feature of live slot games from Aristocrat). If there was ever any doubt about who made this slot, then the playing card symbols (complete with crowns) will assure you that this is an Aristocrat title.
Bonuses are triggered by special scatter symbols. There are two different types. Quick deal and Money Box mini-features can be triggered with their own symbols. To reach the free spins games and the jackpot feature you’ll need to hit 3+ of the ‘Let’s Make a Deal’ logos.
Let’s Make a Deal Bonus Games
When you hit 3 of the logos the first thing you will see are the 3 doors that fans of the show will be familiar with. This time there is no ‘Zonk’ behind any of them. Instead you will find 3 of the 5 possible bonus features. Your task is to wait for the screen to scan across the doors and for all 3 to be visible at the same time, and then to tap on one of them to select your bonus.
What you ideally want to see is the ‘Big Deal’ progressive jackpot game. This takes full advantage of the tall cabinet and gives you the appearance of being inside a giant spinning wheel. You’ll swipe the screen to start this spinning and see colored segments go past some central arrows. Some of the prizes are small (think 1000 coins to 5000) some larger and others feature one of the 4 progressive jackpot amounts ranging from the mini to the biggest of all – which is the one which can reach $250,000. If you do hit one of the jackpots, you’ll get another spin of the reel to try and trigger another.
Another progressive feature which caught my eye is the ‘Smash for Cash’ game. Here you will see a screen with 10 pink piggy banks on the bottom part of the cabinet, and a meter reaching up to a large prize on the top part. The pigs are all animated, and dance around. You touch them, which brings a big hammer down to smash each one. You reveal either a number of steps to move up the ladder, or a Zonk – which ends the game. As you hit cash prizes on the ladder you’ll be offered a deal to collect them, or hit more pigs to try and improve. If you continue and smash a pig with the Zonk behind it, then you will only get half of your current total win.
Let's Make A Deal Free Slots Video Poker
Three of the bonuses are different free spins games. These have their own unique symbols and entertaining game play elements. An example is the ‘Nacho Cheese Hot Tub’ game. Here you get 10 free spins, with extra symbols on the reels (Nacho Cheese) which substitute for the top Wayne symbols. There are also symbols with X2 on them in play. These will multiply your win by 2 and also act as wilds. There is a car free spins game and a banana boat free spins game on top. Completing the bonus games is a money box game and ‘quicky deal’ game. One thing is for sure, this slot is all action.
