You do realize that the game is based on pure chance, right?  It's just glorified gambling, and thus no race has an advantage over any other race.

No, that would require skill or knowledge.  Can't have that.  This game is nothing but gambling.  You pick one case, then go about eliminating the remaining cases with uninformed guessing.  If you're lucky, the cases you pick have low dollar values.  If you're unlucky, they have high dollar values.  After picking a few cases you get a call from the 'banker' who offers you an amount based on what cases are left in play.  You can take it or continue on to the next round, where you just repeat the process.  If you take it all the way to the end, you're left with just one case in the field and the case you picked at the beginning, and you have to choose which one contains the larger amount.  Again, there's nothing but pure chance to dictate that.

Of all the game shows I've seen, this requires the least skill of all.  Not a single attribute it put to the test, except perhaps your willingness to gamble.

Damn. At least with the Price is Right, It at least rewards your shopping skills. Figure put the actual retail price of a washing machine, and you win a car. It seems like they could rig something like this.

Yep. I mean, The Price is Right isn't exactly an intellectual game show, but at the very least, there is an informed nature to the guessing. You can put your powers of deduction to the test and figure out what is logically the best estimate. You can play with psychology, asking yourself whether that figure that 'seems' right is actually right, or if it is simply a clever way of concealing the correct answer (as was so often the case with their puzzles). But with Deal or No Deal, there is no skill involved at all. You can't try to rationalize anything, because it's all totally random. The only rationalization you have to make is whether or not you should continue on to the next round, and in the end, if you continue on, it's still just a matter of luck as to whether or not you pick the low values or not.

Whatever happened to the days when in order for you to get a buttload of money, you needed to be either intelligent or talented? Sign of the times, I guess.

Agree 100%.

Interesting to note the disturbing trend downward of 'game shows' in general. Was a time when Jeopardy was a weekly prime time show. It was eclipsed in popularity by Who Wants to be a Millionaire, which gave you 4 answer choices.

Now we have the aforementioned Deal or No Deal, which is pure luck, and a show in which grown people are challenging fifth graders in academic pursuits (and losing!!!).

I guess there is no way to go broke when one appeals to the lowest common denominator.
