I assume it's a wordplay or a portmanteau of "deal" and "yo". Since, it's used in an ad, it's meant to catch the readers' attention. It's like saying, "What's the deal, yo?"

Hope that helps.
 
It's just slang for 'deal'. 'Yo' is not included.


dealio

Pseudo-Spanish for "deal", used to lend an air of urban-chic to an otherwise urbane sentence.
Ok folks, here's the deal...

Alright peeps, here's the dealio...


Urban Dictionary: dealio

That link has the definition. But beware, it contains some vulgar abbreviations and words. However it is the 'go-to' place for looking up slang words.
