Mandel.
"I’m thrilled to be bringing the franchise to the
next level with Deal or
No Deal: Secret Vault Games for the PC," said Howie Mandel,
who provided the voice-over in the game. "Fans of the show are going
to love playing all new games that are so secret even The Banker needs special
clearance to get in."

contains a heavily-guarded vault with 20 cases, each containing a unique game
inspired by the hit show. Gamers can try their hand at any of these exciting
games such as Strike a Deal, The Keys to Success,

game, we wanted to bring fans an entirely new Deal or No Deal experience,” said

that is the perfect holiday gift for fans of the show and casual gamers looking
for a fun and unique gaming experience."

September, an average of 10 million fans began tuning in weekly. The show remains
an anchor of the network's fall lineup.
