Throne Room Coin Flipper - Huw2k8/warsim GitHub Wiki

The 'Coin flipper' is the 23rd encounter in the throne room and was the first mini-game encounter, it involves a shady man flipping coins for money, the maximum he can be carrying is 190 gold and the minimum is 50 gold.

The encounter text says "A shady man arrives in your court and invites you to play a coin flip game, he tells you it will cost you ten coins per play, you can call heads or tails, the coin is flipped and if you are correct you win double your bet"

Your options are

  • Refuse to bet (nothing happens)
  • Call heads (flip coin, if heads player gains 10 gold, if tails player loses 10 gold)
  • Call Tails (flip coin, if tails player gains 10 gold, if heads player loses 10 gold)
  • To the dungeons with him (+1 prisoner)(50% chance of -1 public opinion)

you can flip the coin until he runs out of gold, whereby the encounter text "the man leaves with empty pockets' is displayed.

There is also a 0.5% chance that the coin will land on it's side, displaying the following text "The Coin lands on it's side, you are both in awe of it for a moment... No gold changes hands" though this is extremely rare

Worth noting that the game is 1% more likely to give you tails than heads as the coin used is heavier on one side, this will generally not make much of a difference but in the long run it will leave you better off.
