| Platforms | Portable console |
Game summary
Deal or No Deal: Special Edition is based on the blockbuster TV game show from NBC Universal and Endemol USA. The Deal or No Deal video game pits you against the Banker in a bid to win as much money as possible. No trivia questions. No gimmicks. Just a lot of nerve. Only one question is asked -- "Deal or No Deal?"
The premise is simple: You have 26 briefcases in front of you. Each one contains a different amount of money -- ranging from one cent to a staggering $1,000,000. Playing as a contestant, choose a case from the selection. Open each case one by one in the hopes that your case is filled with big bucks, but the Banker will tempt you again and again while trying to buy your case from you.

Play Deal or No Deal: Special Edition on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Deal or No Deal: Special Edition on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
