Deal or no Deal #1694

We have finally graduated from Lucky Lines and More Lucky Lines. Both games had their grand prizes claimed within the past week. The new game is Deal or no Deal. This is a relatively new game and it is selling like hot cakes. 16 % of the float was sold last week alone. Have not seen a game this popular since Mah Jong came on the market. 32% of the tickets have been sold for the game and all 3 grand prizes remain to be claimed.

Next in line to play are: $4 Cash for Life #1155 and $2 Banco #1591. The recommended play if you are looking for $1000 cash and up (as opposed to the grand prize only) is #1409 Keno. Deal or no Deal is second on this evaluation as well so it certainly is a preferred play.

OLG retired the moribund $2 Golden Ticket game this week. About time. There remains 6 games where all the grand prizes have been claimed. Avoid them like the plague: $2 Golden 7's, $3 Bingo, $3 More Lucky Lines, $3 Scrabble, $5 Scrabble, and the colossally wasteful $10 100 Jumbo. The OLG publishes the fact that these games are sucker plays but it still irks me that they flout these tickets under the guise that their market research indicates that players don't care. Really?

A new game this week is the $5 Cross Tripler. 15 grand prizes of $100k each. Past games of this sort yield a few winners coming right out of the chute. We don't play now, but that has been the pattern.

Personal play last week was reduced to one $2 Banco ticket for which I received my $2 back. Gonna load up on Deal or no Deal this week.
