Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel will host “Deal or No Deal Live” on September 25, giving Club Serrano members access to a live game show that will feature five contestants competing for prizes of up to $1 million each.
The event will take place at Yaamava’ Theater and will be hosted by comedian, actor and television personality Howie Mandel.
The promotion also gives Yaamava’ a role in the live expansion of the television game show. While “Deal or No Deal” has been adapted for theatrical events, San Manuel said its event will be the first venue to offer a $1 million prize opportunity in the live format.
Club Serrano members enter through three promotions
Club Serrano members can qualify for the event through three promotions scheduled throughout September.
The first is a series of weekly qualifier drawings on September 1, 8, 15 and 22. Members will receive one entry for every 100 points earned. Drawings will take place every hour from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Selected winners will receive thousands of dollars in Free Play and advance to the September 25 game show.
The second opportunity comes through the Top Point Earner Event on September 20. The 100 Club Serrano members who earn the most tier points from September 1 through September 17 will receive invitations to an event at bEATS. Selected members will receive Free Play and advance to “Deal or No Deal Live.”
The final qualification opportunity is scheduled for September 23. Club Serrano members who earn 250 Tier Points can receive a ticket for the 11 p.m. Last Chance Drawing. Five winners will each receive $2,500 in Free Play and secure a place at the September 25 game show.
Five finalists will compete for up to $5 million
On September 25, 50 Club Serrano members who qualify through the promotions will attend the event at Yaamava’ Theater. Five finalists will then be selected at random to play “Deal or No Deal Live.”
Each finalist will have the opportunity to win as much as $1 million, which puts as much as $5 million in potential prizes across the five contestants.
“At Yaamava’, we are always looking for new ways to create unforgettable experiences for our guests, and this event does exactly that,” said Kenji Hall, General Manager, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel.
“Being the first venue to offer five separate chances to win $1 million through ‘Deal or No Deal Live’ is a historic moment for our property and for live entertainment. Combined with the excitement of having Howie Mandel host the show, this will be a one-of-a-kind experience our guests won’t find anywhere else,” Hall added.
“Deal or No Deal Live” at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino is giving away potentially 5 million dollars,” said Howie Mandel. “There’s something special about experiencing the game live, surrounded by an incredible audience. My friends at Yaamava’ are known for delivering world-class entertainment, and I’m looking forward to creating another epic moment together.“
Audience tickets go on sale August 31
Customers who do not qualify as contestants can attend the event as audience members. Tickets for “Deal or No Deal Live” at Yaamava’ Theater go on sale Monday, August 31, at 10 a.m. Prices range from $25 to $75.
Game participation is limited to Club Serrano members who advance through the qualifying promotions, while ticket holders can watch the competition from the audience.
The event follows another collaboration between Yaamava’ and Mandel. Last year, Mandel hosted the casino’s annual “Million Dollar Moment” promotion.
The “Deal or No Deal Live” event forms part of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino’s 40th anniversary celebration. The property has incorporated entertainment events, promotions, celebrity partnerships and prize-based campaigns into the anniversary program.
