Ratings fell sharply during the second year, and the show wrapped production around midseason. Gimmicks were still used, however, and the 22 contestants (and their replacements) only stayed on for one week. A half-hour syndicated version debuted in September 2008 and essentially cut out all the fluff while adding various elements of the European versions, with a top prize of $500,000. The primetime version aired its final episode on May 18, 2009. It was an instant hit, eventually leading to promotional tactics such as airing it multiple times per-week, in-game gimmicks (such as increased top prizes and literally trying to force a win by adding more million-dollar cases to the board), and also became prone to padding the game with excessive personal stories, celebrity guests, and other unnecessary content. primetime version hosted by Howie Mandel, with 26 briefcases containing values ranging from 1¢ to $1,000,000, and a glitzy atmosphere. On December 19, 2005, NBC premiered a U.S. The UK version has 22 boxes, each manned by a possible future contestant (they're sequestered together when they're not filming to encourage rapport during the game), with the top prize being £250,000. A British version (hosted by Noel Edmonds, a former DJ and Saturday Night presenter whose career had been on the skids) debuted on Octoand ended in December 2016 it was such a hit that a Saturday primetime show was added. Sometimes, each box was designated to represent a contestant from a specific region of the country. They had a lighter, more casual atmosphere than the original Miljoenenjacht the boxes were manned by a persistent contestant pool, with the episode's contestant determined by either a random selection, or a preliminary quiz round. Daily versions of the format began to premiere in European countries such as Italy, and Australia, in 2003. While Miljoenenjacht as a whole was sold to several countries, the briefcase game was later sold internationally as a standalone format, known in English-language markets as Deal or No Deal. The game originated as the Bonus Round of the Netherlands' Postcode Lottery's game show Miljoenenjacht ("Hunt for Millions", where the winner of a multi-stage elimination quiz plays the game).
