Questions people ask

Is the coin flip fair?
Yes. Heads and tails each come from your browser's cryptographic generator with exactly the same chance. A real coin is very slightly more likely to land the way it started.
Can I flip many coins at once?
Yes, up to 10,000. You see how many heads and tails, and the longest run of each.
Can I play best of three?
Yes: under More options, choose best of three or five. Coins are flipped until one side has won most of them.
