Áll az alku (English: It's a deal) is the Hungarian version of Deal or No Deal. The show airs on TV2, and the host is Gábor Gundel Takács . There are 21 cases and the top prize is 100,000,000 forints (previously 50.000.000).
The show's first version, broadcast in 2004, aired on Friday nights and was a more than two-hour event. The first part of the show consisted of selecting the one player from the audience (all members of the studio audience were eligible to become the day's contestant), set in groups of 20 people, using multiple-choice questions. The group with the most correct answers got progressed to the second round, as well as a 21st person randomly selected from the rest of the groups. In the second round the two best players were selected using further questions. One of these players could opt out at this point, receiving a prize, however, if neither player did, a head-to-head round was played. The winner of this round got to choose one of the 21 metal cases to be their own, with the other twenty eliminated players getting their own cases. The twenty players could also win a part of the money in their cases if they guessed the contents of them correctly before opening them.
The show received a format change in 2006. The studio and the show's design changed and the length of the game was reduced to thirty minutes. The question rounds were dropped in favour of a quicker game comprising only the case-opening. The show's new timeslot of every weekday night turned out as an unexpected success in ratings, so the programme's length was extended to 60 minutes, resulting in an unprecedented ratings victory over RTL Klub's previously unbeatable prime time soap opera Barátok Közt (Among Friends). The show in its new format continues to air in 2006.
