Nate Clone - Deal Or No Deal
This is just one of those TV show arcade games, but let me explain how it works.

There are 16 briefcases, which each have a certain amount of money (AKA tickets) inside. One may have $2. Another may have $150. You see the amounts inside the cases, and then they close. They are scrambled, and you now have to pick a case. Which ever one you picked will come into play later.

You then need to open 5 of the 15 remaining cases. This will show the amounts of money you didn't pick, so you're hoping for small amounts in these cases.

After picking 5 cases, you get an offer from the banker. If you accept (Deal) the offer the game ends and you take the money. But, if you decline (No Deal), you continue to play. These deals are either really good, or really bad. Some times they trick you with good offers, thinking that your case will be much better, but it's not. If you decline, you continue to play the same way. Usually, the only deal I accept is the 4th and final offer.

At the end, you have two choices. Accept the final offer from the banker, or take your chosen case's money. The final offer usually signifies if your a winner. If the offer is 30 tickets, accept it, because your case is probably worse. If the offer is 250 tickets, decline, because your case is probably better than that.

Now, here's a funny story that happened while I was on a weekend getaway to San Antonio, Texas. At Dave & Busters, I was continuously losing at Deal or No Deal. I played for the 4th time, but this random teenager asked me "You need some help, kid?"

Now, I know that strangers are dangerous, but he looked nice, so I swiped my card and let him play a round. I think this guy knew the code of the game or something, because he got the jackpot (500 tickets) an won for me. He didn't tell me what he did, but I was still in shock. Neat.
