G'day mate! This here's a game of two-up.

Bill here with the stick and the coins is what they call the 'Spinner'.

It's his turn to have a crack at flipping them two coins there.

If he tosses both heads, then he keeps goin', otherwise someone else gets a turn

People can also bet on the side if them coins are going to fall down both heads or both tails.

Bill will let ya have a few practice bets if you want to get the hang of the game, or I can tell you more about the history.

Two-up has a strong association with ANZAC Day on account of it being played by diggers in World War One and Two.

Streuth, in some states two-up is only legal on ANZAC Day and a few other times. In NSW it's also legal in Broken Hill, but not anywhere else in the state. It's the same with Kalgoorlie in WA, too!

The basic rules are like this:

Ya need a flat area for the ring, two pennies, and a bit of wood to flip them, called a 'kip'. Then, ya get someone to be the 'spinner' - they get to flip the coins first. Whoever's runnin' the ring will yell 'come in spinner' when it's time to flip the coins.

The spinner puts money down, and they get to keep spinning if they get all heads. If they throw three heads in a row, then the spinner can choose to take their winnings and quit, or keep goin'.

While they're spinning, ya can bet on the side as well, on whether they will throw all heads or all tails.
