We've got our first repeat player in the 4.0 series, AARON is that player, and he's set his own benchmark with a £26k win on his first go!

His path to another run at that kind of money - or even more - will be shaped by The Configurator, just like every game in this series. That means we begin as always by picking 1-4 for each of player power, Banker power, offer pattern, and money menu.

Let’s hope it is indeed even more! I’ll go for 3-2-1-3 please!

That sets up this...

Three of those are the exact same as your last game! You still have the Booster Bids with both Win Boost and Board Boost predictions to help you out, you still have the Banker seeing two boxes on the wings, and you still have 5-5-3-3-2-2-1-1 as the offer pattern.

And the board still starts as normal:

£50,000

£100,000
£150,000
£250,000

But the money menu is different...

...but how different? That's up to you, at least in part! The first two options to add will be one of these pairs...

ADD HALF/-£2,000
BONUS/-£5,000

Which is it to be?

I’ll take the BONUS set please, feel like that will be more useful to me!

Gives you a fallback at lower stakes of course! Now here's the two options for filling out the menu:

SUPER BONUS/-£2,500/63%
ADD HALF/MONEY BACK/-£2,000

Whatever happens your floor on a decent win might be pretty good here! But which is it to be?

Very tempting to get the Super Bonus into play... and I think I will!

SUPER BONUS
BONUS
-£2,500
-£5,000
63%

Very interesting menu, playable at high stakes but with a 40% bailout chance too!

Box 2 is yours. The Banker has looked in Box 13 and one other. Five in round one... GAME ON!

Interesting... let’s play! 8, 18, 11, 15 and 5 please!

Box 8 - £10! Quality start.

Box 18 - £250! Good to see two blues out of the gate.

Box 11 - £5,000 is fine too...

Box 15 - £50 certainly is!

Box 5 - £3,000! Brilliant opening round.

The Banker is genuinely nervous here, because that's a great start and he's also seen big money in Box 13 which he's convinced you're going to avoid!

Two predictions to use if you want to...

I’ve got an idea but let’s see where his head’s at first, no prediction.

Wanting to fire up Basement Jaxx before using one of those precious predictions...

...and it's just shy of five figures. Deal or No Deal?

Probably a good thing I avoided that one! NO DEAL, let’s keep going.

4, 14, 9, 19 and 1 please.

Interesting comment there!

Box 4 - £20,000 was also preferable to avoid, but no problem just yet!

Box 14 - £500! Back in business.

Box 9 - 50p! First of the real tiddlers gone!

Box 19 - £250,000! And followed, right away, by THE big fish.

Box 1 - £15,000 completes the Banker's round, but with that block of five still there he cannot be complacent!

Different game here as we hit the three-box rounds, but no stinker yet, that's for sure...

Banker says this is a nicely balanced game. Are you predicting?

Would’ve gone for it if I still had the QM but I’m less confident here... No prediction.

BANKER'S OFFER

£11,000

The stability and the fact we're five boxes deeper into the game sent it up! Might have been surprising to you... Deal or No Deal?

That’s what I was thinking for offer 1! Plenty of mileage in this though so NO DEAL thanks.

7, 17 and 6 please.
