History Series / DealOrNoDeal

* CanadaEh: The five ''Deal Or No Deal Canada'' specials done for Global (who also aired the U.S. version), which were taped in Toronto (at the CBC's headquarters; the backdrop was of Toronto too), hosted by a Canadian (Howie Mandel) with Canadian models, bragged about tax-free winnings, had a main stage shaped like a maple leaf, a HomeParticipationSweepstakes that Canada could finally [[OfferVoidInNebraska enter]], "Loonie" and "Toonie" (local terms for the $1 and $2 coins) as the bottom amounts, and the Banker's office made to look like an ice hockey penalty box (he even paced back and forth in it like a coach).

* ConfettiDrop: Top prize winners of all three aforementioned countries get showered with confetti (and money in the US version) at the game's end. The same applies to other international versions as well.

** There have been several moments in the UK version that have used it not for big winners. On the first anniversary special, confetti dropped at the end of the episode. It was also used for a "Harlem Shake" video that was uploaded to the show's official channel, although according to someone who worked on the show, the cannons were set off purely for test purposes.

* TheCameo: Nong, the show's fifth quarter-millionaire, appeared in the UK show's 2,000th episode to give Noel an award. She also appeared as a box opener on the ''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Deal Or No Deal'' parody special.
** The UK show's 10th-anniversary special had all the box holders be past contestants.

* LongRunnerTechMarchesOn: The CNBC revival replaced the wired, handset phone for the Banker at the contestant podium with an [=iPhone=].

In 2018, NBC's sister financial news channel CNBC (whose primetime lineup features business and finance-themed reality and documentary programs, and had also aired reruns at the show's peak) announced that it would revive ''Deal'' on December 5 (with NBC itself airing a ChristmasEpisode as a preview on December 3), with Howie Mandel returning as host. While otherwise identical to the original series (but with refreshed aesthetics and a female Banker), this version gives the player one chance per game to counter the Banker's offer with a higher value. If the Banker accepts the counter-offer, the player receives the amount he/she named and the game ends. This version ran for one season, from December 2018 to August 2019.

In March 2023, a British revival is confirmed by Creator/{{ITV}} with Creator/StephenMulhern taking the helm. Filming starts in July and the top prize is reduced to £100,000.

* DownerEnding:
** On the British version, elderly contestant Corinne had a goal to buy a vintage Bentley from her birth year — something that would cost over £200,000, thus she was interested only in the top prize. Thoroughly uninterested in any bank offers, she managed to keep the £250,000 to the end, but with 1p as the other box remaining. Exasperated, the Banker offered Corinne £88,000, which she again declined. She turned down the swap, and... well, the fact that this is listed here pretty much gives the rest away.
** Contestant Mark on the UK version managed to set an impossibly low record during the Gold Medal Deal week, which was held in honor of the [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames London 2012 Olympic Games]]. The week featured a NintendoHard Catapult game when there were 5 boxes left, and one of the prizes was an all-expenses-paid holiday. When Mark managed to knock down all the highest amounts from the board and failed the catapult game (like everyone else that week), he was down to two boxes, £50 and £500. Possibly in an attempt to throw the poor guy a bone, the Banker said that if he had the box with £500 in it, he would also throw in the holiday that nobody had been able to win, under the condition that if the box contained the £50, he would walk away with nothing at all. Mark accepted, and... his box had £50, meaning that Mark was one of the few contestants (prior to Box 23's addition) in any ''Deal'' game to walk away with nothing. Everyone was in tears, and Noel stated that it was unquestionably the unluckiest game of ''Deal'' ever. Three or four other contestants have taken similar offers from the Banker, failed, and walked away penniless, but considering he knocked out 10 of the reds save for the £5,000 in his first 11 boxes and never got an offer above £199, he still easily holds the title of unluckiest ''[=DoND=]'' contestant ever.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrOCknrm8vs Donna's game from late 2006.]] Need I say anything more? OK. This happened about a month before Laura Pearce [[spoiler:became the show's first quarter-millionaire]]. She played a good game up until her 8 box offer. Her boxes left were £1, £5, £10, £50, £5,000, £10,000, £100,000 and £250,000. She received an offer of £21,000, which she took, on the advice of her fiancé. The playout to see what would've happened began, and... well... there's a reason this is here. For those of you who don't want to watch the video, [[spoiler:she managed to take out everything except for the £100,000 and the £250,000, which would've given her a 5 box offer of £59,000 and a 2 box offer of £170,000. Her box contained the £250,000.]]

** In early 2006, most of the games in the UK version featured a small number of predictable sequences of cash values assigned to boxes, and in some cases, several games were completely identical. When viewers wrote into the show to point this out, it was discovered that the Microsoft Excel system used to generate the sequences was only pseudo-random. Subsequently, values were picked by drawing balls out of a bag.

In March 2023, a British revival is confirmed by Creator/ITV with Creator/StephenMulhern taking the helm. Filming starts in July and the top prize is reduced to £100,000.

* VacationEpisode: In 2008, the NBC version did a series of "World Tour" episodes, filmed from the studios of international versions of the show in Estonia, South Africa, and the Philippines. All of the episodes featured the local briefcase models, as well as a cameo from their hosts, although the remainder of the proceedings were conducted identically to the standard episodes recorded stateside. All of the episodes were filmed in countries that used the visual design of the U.S. version, but the Philippines episode did use the presentation and production style of [=ABS-CBN=]'s version ''Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal'' [[note]]"Kapamilya" translates roughly to "part of the family", a phrase that is frequently used as part of ABS-CBN's branding.[[/note]] more extensively than the other episodes (which just used the usual U.S. graphics).
