We're back to the regular Banker pitting his wits against someone else, and it's PAUL who is that someone else tonight! Can he kick it? Well, we'll see...

1-4 again for each of player power, Banker power, offer pattern, and money menu...

I, 4,1 think I should pick in a way 2 look smart (3)

4-1-2-3, the classic 4-3-3 holding midfielder variation! Gives us this...

Well that's an interesting combination. The offer pattern is 5-3-3-3-3-3-2 but you also get one offer button - and when you press that it's you making the offer to him, not the other way round! You can also counter one of his offers, too.

Two of your reds are bumped down by 99% for his power, those being £10,000 and £35,000. Gives you this board:

The money menu is a benign +£5,000/+£3,000/+£1,000/-£2,000/-£4,000, and you have Box 8 on the table.

This should be fun. GAME ON!

1,2,4,10,20

Box 1 - £1! That's how to start.

Box 2 - 50p! Even better!

Box 4 - 10p! This is sorcery...

Box 10 - £250 is yet another blue...

Box 20 - £5,000 doesn't hurt us either! What a round!

You effectively started with only seven really influential boxes. You kept them all.

Deal or No Deal?

I beg to differ.

No deal.

And how apt that 7 is the next box?

Box 7 - £750 and it's lucky for you!

Box 11 - £100! Could this be all-blue?

Box 13 - £500! It could! All high blue but who cares?!?

The Banker is very grateful indeed for Double 99 because that's the only reason this board isn't even more stable!

BANKER'S OFFER

...with a chunky round offer! Only you can decide if it's chunky enough though. Deal or No Deal?

Slightly less stable than it looks.

But there’s enough.

For now

No deal

And one box gets us to... somewhere?

Box 15 - £250,000!

Somewhere painful! Are you opening more?

Now I am.

17 and 23

Box 17 - £10! Down to three on the left...

Box 23 - £3,000 and this game certainly isn't done yet!

The Banker says he's enjoying this board because it's got lots of good gameplay in it and he doesn't have the jackpot to worry about!

We want this excitement to continue, and that means at least keeping a lid on the damage in this round...

Box 24 - £150,000! And AGAIN it's the first box of the round you were thinking of interrupting that brings the dynamite! :O
