Club Serrano members can qualify throughout September for the September 25 live game show, while fans can purchase tickets to watch Mandel host the high-stakes action at Yaamava' Theater

HIGHLAND, Calif., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Deal or no deal? Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel is giving Club Serrano members the chance to answer the iconic question themselves, when "Deal or No Deal Live" takes over Yaamava' Theater on Friday, Sept. 25, with up to $1 million on the line. The event represents a milestone for "Deal or No Deal Live," marking the first time five contestants will each have the chance to unlock a $1 million grand prize.

Making the night even bigger – comedian, actor and television personality Howie Mandel will host the live game show, bringing his signature energy and suspense to the Yaamava' Theater stage. While "Deal or No Deal" has made the leap from television to live onstage experiences, Yaamava' will offer fans a rare opportunity to see Mandel himself host the live theatrical version of the iconic game. Yaamava' will also be the first venue to offer the chance of a full $1 million prize.

Throughout September, Club Serrano members will have three ways to earn a coveted spot at the September 25 live show:

• Weekly Qualifier Drawings – Sept. 1, 8, 15 and 22: Club Serrano members will earn one entry for every 100 points earned. Drawings will take place every hour from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., with select winners taking home thousands of dollars in Free Play and advancing to the Sept. 25 game show.
• Top Point Earner Event – Sept. 20: The top 100 Club Serrano members who earn the most tier points from Sept. 1 through Sept. 17 will be invited to an exclusive event at bEATS, where select members will win Free Play and advance to "Deal or No Deal Live."
• Last Chance Drawing – Sept. 23: For one final shot at the spotlight, Club Serrano members who earn 250 Tier Points can receive a ticket for the 11 p.m. drawing. Five winners will each receive $2,500 in Free Play and secure their spot at the Sept. 25 game show.

On Sept. 25, 50 Club Serrano members who advanced through the qualifying events will gather at Yaamava' Theater for the ultimate "Deal or No Deal Live" experience. Five finalists will be selected at random to step into the spotlight and play the iconic game, with the chance to win up to $1 million.

"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."

"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."

Last year, Howie Mandel hosted Yaamava' Resort & Casino's annual "Million Dollar Moment" promotion.

Fans don't have to be contestants to get in on the excitement. Tickets to watch "Deal or No Deal Live" at Yaamava' Theater go on sale Monday, August 31 at 10 am and range from $25 to $75. Ticket holders can experience the suspense live from the audience, while participation in the game is reserved exclusively for Club Serrano members who advance through the qualifying promotions.
