Grasz czy nie grasz (English: Do you play or you don't play) is the Polish version of Deal or No Deal. It was shown at 7:00pm CET on Saturdays on Polsat. Zygmunt Chajzer was the original host. In its third year, the studio and graphics were updated, as they were to other international versions of the show.

The show calls 26 contestants (choose from 250 audiences) to play the question round. They must answer 5 questions, each with 4 possible answers. Contestants who choose the right answer receive 1 point for each player answer incorrectly. The others receive nothing. Two top scorers go to the next round.

The two remaining contestants face each other at a single showdown-style podium with two buzzers on it. They must decide whether or not to press the button. The contestant buzzed in receive prize in a "mystery case", usually worth less than 10,000 PLN. The other move on to the final. A math problem is asked if nobody buzz in. The contestant buzz first and calculate correctly proceeds to the final. Before the final, the winner must choose a case.

25 contestants who had lost in the first two rounds each held a briefcase numbered from 1 to 26. If the main contestant chooses a case, the player who held it must guess the value in the case, and win 1,000 PLN multiplied by the number of remaining cases if guessed correctly. The main contestant also can call a friend who was chosen by him, but only to accept or reject the bank offer.

The show calls two contestants chosen in random, who played in a SMS competition. In order to choose a winner, contestants must answer a question correctly to proceed to the final. They can buzz in if they know the answer before the host finishes reading out the answers. An incorrect answer can cause the contestant to lose the game.

The contestant who win the preliminary round chooses one of 26 cases with values from 1 grosz to 1,000,000 PLN (see below). The chosen case is opened only at the end of the show. In the studio, four friends (who had chosen by the contestant) can give their advises to him at every stage of the final.

Contestant started the game nominating among the remaining 25 suitcases what will be opened. The amounts, which are revealed in the chosen cases, disappear from the board, and can not be found in the contestant's case. After the player opens 6 cases, the banker, who make a proposal to buy the contestant's case for a certain sum of money, calls the host. The bank offer depends on what amounts still remain on the board – the higher value remains, the higher is the bank offer. If the contestant accepts the offer, they win his offered amount and open their case – which was sold to the banker – then the program comes to its end.
