Is It Rigged? Reality and game shows are not supposed to be staged or scripted, as that is a common complaint among audiences, most notably leading to some unpopular opinions about Keeping Up With The Kardashians. As far as anyone publicly knows, the Deal or No Deal Banker is not tipped off to any secret information.

The contestant receives the amount in the case taken. The Banker's offer is typically a percentage of the average of the values still in play at the end of each round. This percentage is small in the early rounds, but increases as the game continues and can even exceed 100% in very late rounds.
