I still have a scratched up two-rand coin in my desk, which I’ve been using for years whenever I couldn’t decide which choice to make.
First Person Deal or No Deal on YesPlay scratches that same itch. You’ll find it under Casino Games. The virtual set has you play from the first-person perspective, allowing you to control the pace of the game. Pick a briefcase and hope for the best!
Where’s the trap?
The fun begins way before the show itself. First you have to spin a wheel which has three rings, so your goal is to line up the golden sectors at the top. It’s important to keep in mind that each spin costs you the original stake again, so don’t fall for that “just one more” trap.
Want to make qualifying easier? Of course you do! Use EASY to line up one ring, VERY EASY to line up two rings, or INSTANT to line up all three, just note that you have to pay extra. It may not seem like much, but those buttons are the whole trick of the game. If you want to learn everything about this game in one place, more information you can find here.
One last thing: on every qualification spin, you have a chance to add from 75x to 500x your stake into the biggest-prize briefcase. It’s lekker if you manage to get it, but it might also make you spend more money than you initially planned.
How should you bet?
Don’t forget to factor in how much you spend while trying to get into the game. If you choose to spend R10, but you spin five times before getting a clean line-up, you did not lose R10. You actually spent R50.
Once you make it through the qualification round, you can either enter the game or play Top Up. Top Up is another paid round that lets you boost a certain briefcase by 5x to 50x your wager. You need to be careful with this step because you can end up wagering extra money you didn’t want to spend.
