Affari tuoi
Affari tuoi (; ) is an Italian game show based upon the internationally popular game show Deal or No Deal. It aired on Rai 1 from 13 October 2003 to 17 March 2017 in the access prime time range. From 26 December 2020, the program returned to air on Saturday between the access prime time slot and the prime time slot. It is broadcast on public broadcaster Rai 1, and it is also shown regularly on RAI International, RAI's international television service. The show was hosted in chronological order include: Paolo Bonolis (October 2003 – May 2005), Pupo (September 2005 – March 2006), Antonella Clerici (March – June 2006), Flavio Insinna (September 2006 – June 2008), Max Giusti (September 2008 – June 2013), and again Flavio Insinna (September 2013 – 17 March 2017). The re-edition of 2020 sees the conduct of Carlo Conti, who had already conducted the episode of 1 April 2015, exchanging the management of L'eredità, a program that he presented at that time, with Insinna, to make an "April fool" to viewers; a new edition aired in 2022 and was hosted by the Italian presenter Amadeus. Gameplay 

In this Italian version, there are 20 boxes; each person holding a box lives in and represents of one of the twenty regions of Italy. The highest prize is €500,000, but on some occasions there is a special €1,000,000 prize. In addition to small money prizes, like €0.50, there are three gag prizes—usually items like salami, a year's supply of soap, or stuffed animals like hippos and weasels (from seasons 2006 to 2007, a hippo prize took place instead of the €500 one). The box named Pacco X, and also a Pacco Y between September 2008 and June 2013 (both meaning "mystery package"), may contain values between €0.02 and €200,000 (see below). The box named Pacco Matto (crazy box, February 2011 – June 2013) or La Matta (the madwoman, from September 2013 onwards) may contain one of the possibilities that may affect the progress of the game, positively or negatively, including doubling the top prize to €1,000,000, or forcing the player to leave the game (see below). The manager is known as "Il Dottore" (the doctor) and knows the content of the boxes. Therefore, sometimes his offers can give hints as to whether the contestant's box contains a high amount of money. In order to give himself further chances, the manager sometimes decides to play "Di pacco in pacco" ("step by step") when high prizes are still active. In Affari tuoi, to refuse an offer, instead of saying "No Deal! ", a contestant says, "Rifiuto l'offerta e vado avanti", meaning "I refuse the offer and go on". To accept, a contestant says "Accetto l'offerta", meaning, "I'll take the offer." Unlike the US version of the show, there is no button to push. (In fact, international versions of Deal do not use a button and cover.) Comparison with other versions 

 The Spanish version of "Deal or no Deal", ¡Allá tú!, aired by Mediaset's Telecinco is exactly the same format as the Italian version, except that the boxes represent 20 of the 50 provinces of Spain. The British version uses boxes like the Italian one. The syndicated US version uses 22 like the British version, but uses briefcases like the primetime NBC version, and is somewhat different in format. The French version, À prendre ou à laisser, is different in format, but uses a "box for each region" concept. Top prize winners 

The first winner of €1 million occurred on April 7, 2006, when Maria Giulia Tullo from Fossalto won €1,000,000. Just ten days later, Vincenzo de Paola from Campobasso won €500,000. They also received the Tapiro d'Oro (Golden Tapir) from the Canale 5 show Striscia la notizia, due to suspected fraud. On March 17, 2012, another million euro winning occurred to Gabriele Calvello, thanks to picking Raddoppia which doubles the top prize after opening Pacco Matto. Calvello, whose father died of cancer, decided to donate part of his winnings for cancer research. In addition, thirteen players won €500,000 in their boxes:

In the Fall of 2006, Codacons, an Italian consumers organisation, pointed out how high prize boxes ("pacchi") seemed to survive up to the end of the game in much more cases than would be statistically expected. Box values

Pacco X (and also Pacco Y from September 2008 to June 2013) are unknown content boxes (the mystery packages).

Pacco X was discontinued in 2015. Brivido 
Previously known as Pacco Matto (crazy box) until June 2013, and La Matta (the madwoman) until June 2014 and Sgambetto (trip) until June 2016.

(Swap with two? ): The player can either keep his/her box, or swap it with two of the other boxes. Paccologia (Parcelology): A screenshot from a past episode of the show with several remaining amounts is shown, and the player is asked to guess which was won.

The following were once appeared but were later replaced:
Raddoppia (Double): The biggest unrevealed amount is doubled (except for Pacco X and Pacco Y). Apri un blu (Open a blue): The doctor tells the player the number of a box containing a "blue" amount (from €0.01 to €250, except for Pacco X and Pacco Y). It is only effective if there are at least two "blue" amounts remaining. Vedo e prevedo (I see and predict): The player is asked to predict the content of the next box.

Proposta indecente (Naughty proposal): The doctor makes a "strategic" proposal, for example offers to reveal the content of a box, but halving all prizes.

The new player is chosen by revealing the name of a region hidden in La busta nera (the black envelope).
