Deal is the Greek version of Deal or No Deal. It airs on ANT1 and was first broadcast in the spring of 2006. It is hosted by Christos Ferendinos, who also hosts the Greek version of Fort Boyard on Star Channel. There are 22 boxes, each corresponding to a potential contestant coming from a different prefecture of Greece. Each episode features one contestant.

During the first round, players answer a multiple choice question and the day's contestant is selected randomly among those who answered correctly. The monetary prizes range from 0.01 to €200,000, but only half of the prize is given to the contestant. The other half is given to a viewer that has participated in a text message contest going on during the broadcast. Usually, three of the boxes contain items of little value (such as a brick, an umbrella, or a souvlaki) Sometimes, the Banker offers an exchange of boxes rather than cash.

Super Deal

A follow-up to the original Greek "Deal", this version airs on the same network (ANT1) on Saturday and Sunday nights. 26 equally dressed models hold 26 cases with the top prize being €500,000 (€300,000 more than the grand prize of the original show). The contestant earns 100% of the prize. This version is almost identical to the US version of Deal or No Deal, hosted ny Howie Mandel.
