How It Works
One contestant chooses one of 26 different suitcases containing cash in the amount of one cent to one million dollars, claiming it for their own. The player chooses a predetermined amount of cases (a smaller number of cases in each round) eliminating a cash amount each time. At the end of each round, the banker offers the contestant cash for for case they picked at the beginning of the show, based on how much cash was eliminated with the contestants choices. The offers go higher and higher as the lower values are taken off the board, and get lower and lower if the higher values are taken off. Sometimes the banker will offer prizes with the cash to try and sway the contestant to take the buy out.
