Deal or No Deal is the latest aspect of popular culture to be immortalized as an online fruit machine for UK gamblers. The online fruit game lives up to the big money reputation of the hit game show with a recent jackpot of ₤1,561,564.

The reason the jackpot is so high is that it is progressive. A progressive jackpot increases in size every time somebody plays the online machine just like a lottery does. This means that the payouts for the online game can grow to epic proportions. The cash prize never falls below ₤500,000 so it gives some of the best cash prizes online.

The Deal or No Deal fruit machine is one of the best online gaming bargains out there today. A person can place a minimum bet of just ₤.001 or bet up to ₤3.60. This makes the online game perfect for a few minutes of online fun at anytime of the day.

The internet version is a five reel 20 line fruit machine that gives players more than just a chance to win the progressive jackpot. There’s a free cash bonus of up to ₤100, a free play option and two bonus games that players can win. One of the bonus games lets players win one of 11 cash prizes. The range of free cash prizes available in the bonus round game is one of the most compelling features of this slot. Players have the chance to walk away with a top prize of ten thousand times their stake, yet can also walk away with just double their stake.

As on the TV version the fruit machine play is interrupted by a "phone call" from the banker from time to time. The banker tells you if you’ve won an extra cash prize or not. It is bonus rounds like this that make UK style fruit machines so entertaining to play, and keep people coming back time and time again.

Just like the TV version, it isn’t exactly challenging but it’s a lot of fun. As on television the point of DOND on line is the cash which is won by the player rather than the contestant on the show.

This was the first online slot game to be based on a TV show or game show theme, but was the catalyst for many more titles to follow. You’ll see a lot more branded slot games at online casinos thanks to the success of Deal or No Deal.

The online fruit machine can be found at quite a few online UK casinos including William Hill, Jackpotojoy, and Ladbrokes.
