Inspired by wondering how DoND could work if the Gambling Commission do force it into primetime, I came up with this: a 26-box board with £500k and £1m added in, along with two low blues (in fact the blues are identical to the Irish DoND, which was basically a 26-box extension to our version):

1p
5p
10p
50p
£1
£5
£10
£25
£50
£100
£250
£500
£750

£1,000
£3,000
£5,000
£10,000
£15,000
£20,000
£35,000
£50,000
£75,000
£100,000
£250,000
£500,000
£1,000,000


Standard international rules (6-5-4-3-2-1-1-1-1) apply. Anyone for a game?

Onto the next round, then:

12 - £100,000! Big hole to the big three, but they are the big, big three...
4 - £500,000! And there goes one!
11 - 50p, just what we needed!
23 - £5,000. So we survive in the end, and this is a terrifying position for player and Banker alike:

1p
5p
£10
£100
£250

£1,000
£3,000
£10,000
£20,000
£250,000
£1,000,000


One little nudge to try and get you out now, he says...

Big point in the game, this:

Hmm...with 2 boxes to open, I'm gonna take a gamble and say No Deal.

Boxes 8 and 15 next.
