Flip a coin

How to use it to pick a first player

For a two-player game, one player calls heads or tails before the flip. If the call is right, that player chooses who goes first. For three or more players, use the coin reveal in the picker, which flips a coin for everyone at once.

Is this coin fair?

Each flip is an independent 50/50 draw from your browser’s secure random number generator. The result is decided before the animation starts, so the spin can’t change it. Streaks like four heads in a row are normal and happen about once in every eight sets of four flips.
