Coin Flipper

Flip a virtual coin and keep a running count of heads and tails during a playtest.

Last reviewed October 11, 2026

The Coin Flipper is for the moment mid-game when a rule says "flip a coin" and nobody has one. Click, watch the coin spin, read heads or tails.

What this page helps you do

  • Flip a fair coin with one click.
  • See how many heads and tails you have flipped so far.

You'll start from Tools, under the Playtesting chip.


Open the tool

In the sidebar, open Tools, click Playtesting, then click Coin Flipper.

Helpful details

  • Key areas: a large coin, a Flip Coin button and a running count underneath.
  • What you can do: flip as many times as you like.
  • Good to know: the tool appears under the Playtesting chip only.

Flip the coin

Click Flip Coin. The coin spins for about a second and lands on heads or tails.

Helpful details

  • Key areas: under the coin, Heads and Tails show the totals, and a sentence sums them up ("Out of 10 flips, there have been 6 heads and 4 tails.").
  • What you can do: flip one coin at a time. For "best of five", flip five times and read the totals.
  • Good to know: the counts reset when you reload or leave the page. There is no saved history.

Tips & common questions

Is the coin fair? Yes. Each flip is a 50/50 random pick. The spinning animation is just for show.

Can I flip several coins at once? No. Flip repeatedly and use the totals.

Can I weight the coin? No. For a weighted outcome, make a custom die in the Dice Roller and repeat a face as many times as you need.

Can I keep the results for a playtest report? Note the totals before you leave the page, or take a screenshot. Nothing is saved automatically.
