Deal Or No Deal Coming To Jamaican Television
‘Deal or No Deal’ is a popular television game show, where players choose from a selection of suitcases or boxes (that contain certain sums of money).
Now, Deal or No Deal is coming to Jamaica. NewComm in association with several local companies will be bringing ‘Digicel Deal or No Deal’ to Television Jamaica (TVJ), with the first episode set to air on Wednesday, September 23, at 8 p.m.
Hosted by Simon Crosskill, Digicel Deal or No Deal will allow contestants to play and deal for a top prize of J$1 million. It looks to be a high-energy contest of nerves, instincts and raw intuition. Each week, 26 beautiful Jamaican girls will hold sealed briefcases containing varying amounts of cash, ranging from a measly $1 to a whopping $1 million. Without knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one and it is his/hers to keep (if he/she chooses) until its unsealing at game’s end.
The risk element kicks in when the player must then eliminate 25 other cases one by one, with each being opened and the amount of cash inside being revealed.
