Red or black is the new thrill on TV that gives roulette lovers the chance to win a million pounds a night. The game show gives a chance to seven players to become millionaires with just a spin of the wheel. The game show is the mastermind of the American idols judge that people love to hate, Simon Cowell. Red or black will be hosted by prime presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and it will be broadcasted every night for seven days on ITV1. In this game, unlike others on TV, the contestants are not expected to know anything to win the one million pounds. The game is not about talent. If the player’s luck holds 10 consecutive times, they automatically, and unopposed, win one million pounds.

Red or black has come to take away the boring from television screens and bring high energy TV to viewers delight. Every single night a person will make the decision on whether to pick red or black and get a chance to walk out of the show one million pounds richer. The red or black game show will be filmed in the Wembley Arena and viewers will have the chance to follow contestants on their journey to a million pounds, from the early stages to the final million pound spin of the wheel.

The show involves a selection of 7000 contestants at the regional level that play the red or black game of chance in which they are expected to predict the outcome. The first challenges will not be as straightforward as choosing red or black outcome. Some involve crazy challenges. The challenges might include people strapped to rockets, predicting whether the next child to be born in a maternity ward is a boy or a girl, cars falling from planes and most of them featuring famous celebrities.

Simon Cowell calls red or black a game show that people chance their luck. This is to steer away the criticism that the show is gambling. In this case it is not gambling since people do not risk their own money. Simon hopes that red or black will go around the world since there is interest from America already. The show will be co produced by Cowell's Syco TV and ITV Studios. There are 7000 slots open for anyone that is interested to take part in the game show that will revolutionalize and revive television. The best part is that players can apply online to be a part and have a chance to win one million pounds in red or black by the spin of a wheel.

Red or black is a game of chance that is open to basically anyone. Only luck is required and the sky is the limit. Red or black was inspired by Ashley Revell, a British gambler that sold everything and gambled it in Las Vegas. Disregarding Wesley Snipes’ advice on always bet on black, he managed to double his wealth on the spin of a wheel, by going ahead to bet on red.
