not what some of you may of been thinking from reading the thread title, but would be intresting to see what happens to the awp's if the show goes

i'd guess bellfruit would ditch the brand but continue to churn out similar profile machines

They would probably bring out one with that name

Seems a bit weird, not a fan of deal and never seen red or black, but the other shows like play your cards right are good entertainment. How on earth gambling comes into it i'm not sure? All very odd.

The DOND format is ideal for a Fruit Machine so you can see that type of format continuing long after the licenced game has ended.

Of course its gambling, thats not the shocking part. The shocking part is that they dont have a license!

"£25,000, deal or no deal?" The player now has TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS real money effectively in their hand, which they can choose to GAMBLE for 1p or £100,000 etc etc.

How can a show run for over 6 years (DOND) and this has just cropped up now, omg. How on earth could this show go to air without a license.

There's no case to answer. Michael Miles was doing this with 'Take Your Pick' in the 1950's, where you could take your prize or 'Open the Box' - but then, that's where Endemol got the idea for the show anyway.

Maybe this is more about the Gambling Commission's profile than anything else, or the fact that the Daily Mail have got fuck all else to write about now the Tories are in power.

And Cowell didn't help with his 20 ft wide roulette wheel and people claiming to have 'skilfully' picked 3 reds in a row. But that show will never come back becasue it was one of the most boring hours of television in recent memory. Could have been good, but needed more thought in the format.

I don't think so. Cowell himself has pretty much admitted that with hindsight it was probably a mistake...

Edit: Ok I stand corrected!

Revised format though...
