It's taken them seven years to realise it, but (forgive the pun) the penny has finally dropped with the gaming authorities.
The only skill involved in Deal or No Deal is in Noel Edmonds' persuading the contestants the game is anything other than a complete gamble, and he's built a whole aura of smoke and mirrors around it. The death box, the curse of the newbie, the Governor 26,000, spank the banker, the 1p club, the power five etc etc etc.
The truth is that its no less of a gamble than the spin of a roulette wheel.
