Coin-Die Game A hustlers' game played with one die, a coin, and stakes. Play: Players flip a coin and then roll the die. If the coin comes up heads the player wins and receives twice the number of units shown on the die. If the coin comes up tails the operator wins and is paid four units plus an equal number of units as shown on the die. The odds are in the operator's favour by 3.448%. If we assume that heads and tails occur an equal number of times and so do the die values, the payoffs are as follows.
