NBC is offering a cheaper and shorter version of Deal or No Deal to the daytime syndication market.

Variety reports that a new half-hour version of Deal, with a pared-down $250,000 top prize, will be offered to stations as a potential companion to Crosswords, another half-hour game show created by the late Merv Griffin and launching in the fall.

The daytime Deal will also sport fewer suitcase models, but primetime host Howie Mandel will remain.
