Coin Flip — Frequently Asked Questions
Is a virtual coin flip fair?
Yes. Each flip generates a cryptographically random integer of either 0 or 1 using window.crypto.getRandomValues, giving heads and tails an exact 50% probability. Unlike a physical coin, there is no bias from coin weight, flip height or landing surface.
Is a digital coin flip more fair than a real coin?
Yes. Research shows physical coins land on the same face they started on roughly 51% of the time due to the mechanics of the flip. A digital coin flip using window.crypto.getRandomValues produces an exact 50/50 probability with no physical bias.
What are the odds of flipping heads?
The probability of flipping heads is exactly 50%, or 1 in 2. Each flip is statistically independent — previous results have no effect on future flips. The probability of heads twice in a row is 25% (0.5 × 0.5), and three times in a row is 12.5%.
How does a virtual coin flip work?
A virtual coin flip works by generating a random integer — either 0 (heads) or 1 (tails) — using the browser's cryptographic random API (window.crypto.getRandomValues). Each value has an equal 50% probability. The result is completely unpredictable and cannot be influenced by the user or predicted from past flips.
What can I use a virtual coin flip for?
A virtual coin flip is useful for making binary decisions, settling disputes fairly, choosing who goes first in a game, sports toss replacements, classroom probability demonstrations or any situation requiring an unbiased 50/50 outcome.
