No one involved in the show's production, including the host, models, or even the executive producers, knows which amounts are in the cases.

This is followed by a "phone call" by "The Banker", a mysterious figure shown only in silhouette now revealed to be William J. Conway.

He purportedly sits in a skybox (situated between the two audience sections) and makes an offer, via telephone, to Corbett (his voice is never heard, except by Corbett himself) to buy the contestant's case based primarily on the mean of the cash amounts still in play, but also on the stage of the game (early offers tend to be far lower than the mean, perhaps to goad the contestant into continuing play) as well as the player's psychology.

Unlike other international versions of the show, the contestant is not offered the opportunity to switch cases.

Then as each round progresses, you must either stay with your original briefcase choice or make a 'deal' with the bank to accept its cash offer in exchange for whatever dollar amount is in your chosen case.

This game consists of the contestant gambling his/her winnings in order to receive the opportunity to play the Supercase.

Recently, there is a feature where if the contestant wanted to risk their winnings, two small suitcases (labeled I and II) were shown; one had the word "Double" inside, the other had "Nothing".

On one occasion, after the contestant (a fan of the New Zealand National Rugby Team) won the lowest prize on the board (10c), DoN was offered, but instead of doubling ten cents to twenty cents, choosing the "Double" case won a trip to the World Cup in Paris.

These claims were dismissed and the producers defended the show saying that the viewers complaining were old-fashioned and conservative.
