Deal or No Deal is a game show which was aired in Singapore on MediaCorp Channel 5 and MediaCorp HD5 for two seasons. Based upon the original Netherlands format of the game show, each episode sees a contestant choosing one of 26 briefcases, each containing a cash amount between $1 to $250,000, and then attempting to win as much as possible either by gambling on having a high amount in their chosen briefcase, or making the game's hidden operator, named "the Banker", offer a considerable cash sum for their case regardless of what is inside. The amount a contestant wins is determined by pure luck – cash amounts are randomly allocated to each of the briefcases before each game, with contestants required to open a specific number of briefcases per round of the game to eliminate the cash amounts their chosen briefcase does not contain, in turn affecting how much is offered by the Banker. The show premiered on 13 May 2007 with a million dollar deal show series from Sunday to Wednesday, after which the show aired every Wednesday at 8:30pm. The show is hosted by Adrian Pang. The second season of the show premiered on 21 November 2007, and increased to two episodes aired per week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8:30pm. The show's official website has an online game, to let viewers become familiar with the format of the game.

The amounts range from S$1 to S$250,000. The twenty-six models are mainly professional models, including a former Miss Malaysia Universe, Andrea Fonseka. After picking one of the 26 briefcases as theirs to keep, the contestant then selects 6 of the remaining 25 cases to open, revealed one at a time. Each amount appears in only one case, so any values revealed in this way are not in the contestant's case. A large electronic board (referred to as the "money tree") is used to keep track of the amounts still in play, with the amounts revealed struck off the board. This is followed by a phone call by The Banker, a silhouette figure lit only dimly from inside a box overlooking the stage, who makes an offer via telephone to
