Two Up is a simple Australian game where you bet on flipping two coins.
You can bet on Heads... the bet that there will be two heads before two tails (or before five mixed tosses in a row)
You can bet on Tails which is the opposite
Or you can get paid 25:1 when betting on Odds which will be activated after five mixed tosses in a row


Party Pair is a game I saw at G2E. It is slightly complicated and I am not going to explain it here but this video seems to explain it okay


Anyways as of today my website now has both of these games in the unclassified section. I look forward to your feedback and I let me know if you find any glitches or have any suggestions.

My next plan with the website will be to allow you to change lots of different settings in Blackjack, and to include a couple more varieties such as Super Fun 21 and Spanish 21.

Is this a street game, or is someone offering it somewhere?
May the cards fall in your favor.

From what I can see it’s popular/legal on ANZAC day and actually in some Australian casinos

Not sure how I missed Party Pair at the show... Was this an independent offering this, or was this a major distributor?

Sounds like you could play this game with 2 dice. Odd or even instead of heads or tails. Unless I'm missing something it would be exactly the same game.

Yeah you could also play with cards, two wheels, or dominoes 😆

Coins are traditional because that’s what people had in the World War I trenches

(sigh)
If I bet on a coin flip, I really like to be able to flip the coin.

It doesn’t have a high house edge nor do any bets get resolved half the time; so I think they have the dealer flip the coins to increase hands per hour tenfold.

It might not be able to be possible to beat craps with dice manipulation, but I think you can definitely manipulate throwing two coins off of a wooden paddle. There would be lots of arguments as to what’s considered a valid throw

This reminds me of a game I played as a young child.
You take seven Buffalo nickels and put them in a can. You shake it and dump the coins. You remove the coins with the Buffalo face up, and repeat until you have all Buffalos. If it takes you four times, that is your number. It goes to the next person, and whoever has the lowest score wins the coins. In the case of a tie, no one wins.
With four or more players, it's hard to get a clean win, so my Uncle could babysit us for hours at little cost to him.
As Buffalo nickels were rarely found in circulation by the 1960s, having a bunch of them bought instant street cred in certain quarters.

That sounds like a fun game, I bet that could theoretically be made into a casino game actually (though it might not be super popular... I am guessing that people think that flipping coins is too simplistic compared to rolling dice or dealing cards). Additionally I do not think that the sound of shaking coins in a can would be appealing to prospective players :D
