2 Up is an game that is usually found in Australia. It is used for
gambling and found in many of the casinos. The game has a person who is called
the Spinner. This person then throws two to three coins in the air. The
gamblers need to determine whether the coins will fall on heads or tails. The
gamblers can also state whether they think that one will fall one way and the
other on the other way.
There are terms while betting, which makes the process go much
quicker. Those who think that all coins will fall on heads will shout
“OBVERSE”. Those who believe the coins will land on tails with shout “REVERSE”.
Those who believe that one coin will land on the head and the other on tails,
“ODDS” will be called.
This is very popular in the pubs and clubs of Australia, where
gambling in legal. It is extremely popular on ANZAC Day. This is the day that
certain coins are brought out to be used.
The game is usually played with smaller coins because their weight
is so small. The size of the coins means that the game can be played in smaller
places. The size and the weight also make it easier for them to spin up in the
air, which makes it harder to determine whether they will fall on the heads or
the tails.
In fact, it is usually small pennies that are used, which are from
1939 or earlier. This is because the later coins have become so much heavier.
These earlier coins also make it very easy to see which side the coins have
landed on because the back is full of writing while the front has the head of the
sovereign.
The designated Spinner will remain as that until they win or lose.
When two heads appear then the Spinner wins, two tails means that the Spinner
loses and the Odds means that the Spinner is allowed to spin again. This can
continue for a number of times until there is finally an outcome. The Spinner
will put a bet down, which will need to be equaled by someone else. If the
Spinner wins, they keep all of the money. If the Spinner loses, the person who
equaled it will keep the money instead.
The rest of the players will actually place bets on whether the
Spinner will win or lose and what the outcome of the next throw will be.
However, there are some variations to the game, which involves different amount
of coins or how they will win or lose. When this game is played in the casinos,
the Spinner’s bet is matched by the house, so the house is the one that gets
the money if the Spinner loses.
