Here are the stats for the 178 games of 2015:

Average Winnings: £15,094.24
Total Box Values (after swaps): £5,595,059.06


Total winnings this year were 48% of what they would've been if all the boxes were opened, so the Banker thoroughly beat the players overall this year monetarily.

31/44 people would've benefited from dealing rather than opening their box.

52/134 people would've benefited from opening their box rather than dealing.

43/178 people took the most money possible out of their game (i.e. they won equal to or greater than the highest amount available in their conventional game).

Out of those forty three, 15 indisputably got the most out of their game by laving at the highest point in the conventional game AND making the right decision with Box 23. They were: Mo, Comfort, Gwen, Russell, Graham, Walter, Adam, Ann, Harry, Paul & Daren, £35k Chris, Umberto, Nic, Jean and £17k Kelly


The 1p has come to the table 6 times this year.
The £250,000 has come to the table 11 times this year.

Other Highlights:

In the 2nd through 6th games of 2015, for the first time in Deal history 5 players in a row managed to win the most out of the conventional game. The longest run of consecutive Banker Spankings prior to this year was 4.

Box 23 saw its largest purchase ever (£17,500) in January 2015 by Carrie. She then lost a record £8,750 to Box 23 as a result of it containing HALF. Shortly thereafter in February 2015, the record for highest amount lost to Box 23 was then quickly topped by John who lost all of his £15,000 winnings as a result of purchasing Box 23 and it containing NOTHING.

In March, Lee was guaranteed a minimum win of £10,000 at 5 box (though he already dealt at £30,000 at 8 box), whereas a few games later Jack had a maximum win of £100 at 5 box. The odds of having these inverse 5 box scenarios is the same, 1 in 470.5.

Sam from March 2015 currently holds the title of Deal's BIGGEST LOSER in monetary terms, missing out on £480,000 from dealing at £20,000 and having £250,000 swapped to the table and DOUBLE being in Box 23.

In April 2015, Brian received a £12,000 extra offer at 7 box on a board with a mean of £11,535.72. At 104% of the average, that is statistically the most generous button offer, 7 box offer and non-standard offer in Deal history.

Out of the 11 Banker's Gambles offered this year, only one was taken. This was by Graham in April 2014, who dealt at £10,000 after turning down £45,000 one box earlier and then hitting the £250k. As a result of handing back the £10,000 on a 50p/£50,000 finish, he won £50,000 from his box, making him the first person since £75k Cheryl back in June 2010 to gain money from a Banker's Gamble.

In May 2015, £10 Martin had a 50p/£1/£5/£10/£50 5 box. Only one person before him had a 5 box with a maximum win of £50 (Daphne from June 2010; odds of this 5 box scenario is 1 in 1,254 chance), and Martin became the first person to have 5 consecutive values at 5 box (a 1 in 1,463 chance).

In September 2015, Pat & Steph became the biggest winning duo players in Deal or No Deal history with their £100,000 box win.

Also in September 2015, Sorrel became the first player to Deal at 5 box with the Offer Button in play, despite 42 players before her being live play at that stage with the button still in play. Just two games later, Kim also dealt at 5 box with the Offer Button still in play.

In October 2015, after being offered the highest 3rd offer since February 2012 (£28,000) and dealing £30,000 at 8 box, Max received the highest hypothetical 3 box offer (£132,00) and HIGHEST EVER hypothetical offer in Deal history (£180,000), topping Yomi from March 2015 and Sara from December 2015 who both hypothetically got offered £175,000 on the dream finish.

Also in October 2015, Harry had the BEST EVER OPENING ROUND, with the highest amount he took out being £10 (a whopping 1 in 4,389 chance ). Jake from April 2015 also shortly held that record by taking out the lowest 4 amounts and £100 in his opening round.

In December 2015, Hope received the HIGHEST EVER 5 BOX OFFER without the £250k in play (£40,000). The previous record was £35,000 and held by Orry from December 2007, Stephen from March 2009 and Mohammed from October 2012.
