Quick Answer
Tap “Flip” (or press Space) to toss a fair coin — heads or tails each have exactly a 50% chance. The tool keeps a running count, percentages and streaks, and can flip 100 coins at once. Switch to “Roll dice” to throw 1 to 6 dice with 4 to 100 sides; you see every die and the total.
Flip a Coin or Roll Dice Online
Sometimes you just need a quick, fair decision: who bats first, which movie to watch, who does the dishes, or which way to go. A coin flip (सिक्का उछालना / टॉस) is the oldest and simplest way to decide between two options, and dice have settled games and arguments for thousands of years. But a coin is not always in your pocket, dice roll under the sofa, and real tosses are not as fair as most people think.
This free tool gives you a perfectly fair virtual coin with a satisfying 3D flip, plus a dice roller for one to six dice with 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20 or 100 sides. It keeps score for you — heads and tails counts, percentages, the current streak and the longest streak — and remembers your last 20 results while the page is open. Every result comes from your browser's cryptographic random generator.

Why a Virtual Coin Is Fairer
We assume a real coin toss is 50/50, but physics says otherwise. A coin that spins while flying tends to wobble, and that wobble means it spends slightly more time with its starting face up. A large 2023 study in which volunteers made more than 350,000 tosses found coins landed on the same side they started on about 50.8% of the time. Catching versus letting the coin bounce, worn edges and practised “trick” flips add further bias.
A virtual coin has none of these problems. Each flip here uses a random bit from crypto.getRandomValues — 0 means heads, 1 means tails — so the chance is exactly 50% regardless of what happened before, who presses the button or how. The animation is only for fun: the outcome is chosen first, then the coin is turned to show it.
Probability You Can See
Coin flips are the classic way to learn probability. A few facts the stats panel lets you test:
| Event | Chance |
|---|---|
| Heads on one flip | 50% |
| Five heads in a row | 1 in 32 (≈3.1%) |
| Exactly 50 heads in 100 flips | ≈8.0% |
| Between 40 and 60 heads in 100 flips | ≈96.5% |
| Double six with two dice | 1 in 36 (≈2.8%) |
| Total of 7 with two dice | 6 in 36 (≈16.7%) |
This is the law of large numbers: over a few flips, the percentage of heads can swing wildly, but as the count grows into hundreds and thousands it settles close to 50%. Press “Flip 100 at once” a few times and watch the heads percentage creep towards 50. Notice too that long streaks appear more often than intuition suggests — the “gambler's fallacy” is believing that after several heads, tails is “due”. It is not; each flip is independent.
About the Dice
- d6 — the standard cube used in Ludo, Snakes and Ladders and Monopoly.
- d4, d8, d10, d12, d20 — the polyhedral dice used in tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons. A d20 decides most actions in those games.
- d100 — percentile rolls from 1 to 100.
Every face of every die has an equal chance. When you roll several dice, the totals are not equally likely: with two d6 there are 36 combinations, and six of them add up to 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1), which is why 7 is the most common total and 2 or 12 the rarest. Board-game players use this to plan their moves.
A Short History of the Toss
People have settled questions with coins for over two thousand years. Children in ancient Rome played a game called navia aut caput — “ship or head” — after the pictures on their coins, which is the ancestor of “heads or tails”. In India the toss is part of every cricket match, from school grounds to international stadiums: one captain tosses, the other calls in the air, and the winner chooses whether to bat or bowl first. The idea is always the same — an outcome nobody controls, accepted by everyone in advance.
How a Computer Makes a Random Choice
Computers are machines that follow instructions exactly, so creating unpredictability takes special care. Modern operating systems collect tiny unpredictable timing differences from hardware events and feed them into a cryptographically secure generator. Browsers expose that generator to web pages as crypto.getRandomValues. This tool asks it for random numbers and uses them directly for the coin and, with an unbiased method that rejects lopsided values, for each die face. Because the numbers are designed to be impossible to predict even for an attacker who has seen previous results, nobody — including us — can know or steer the next flip.
Ways People Use a Coin Flip
- Sports tosses — gully cricket, football kick-off or choosing sides.
- Breaking ties in games, quizzes and votes.
- Everyday decisions — pizza or biryani, stay in or go out.
- Classroom probability lessons with instant, large samples.
- Board games when the dice are missing.
- Online games and streams where everyone can see the result.
A Decision-Making Trick
Stuck between two choices? Assign one to heads and one to tails and flip. Then notice your reaction when the coin lands. If you feel relief, go with it; if you feel disappointed, you have just discovered what you really wanted. The coin does not decide for you — it reveals your preference. For more than two options, try our Spin the Wheel or Random Name Picker.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Calling after the flip — agree who calls heads or tails before anyone presses Flip.
- Best of three, then best of five… — set the format in advance and stick to it.
- Believing a result is “due” — past flips never affect the next one.
- Using it for gambling — this is a fun and decision tool, not for betting money.
Troubleshooting
- Space bar scrolls the page — click on the page (not in a text box) first.
- Animation feels slow — enable “reduce motion” in your device settings to see results instantly.
- Stats seem uneven — small samples vary a lot; flip a few hundred times and compare.
Quick Glossary
- Independent events: outcomes that do not affect each other.
- Streak: the same result several times in a row.
- Law of large numbers: averages approach the expected value as trials increase.
- Gambler's fallacy: the mistaken belief that a result becomes more likely after it has not happened for a while.
- dN: a die with N sides, e.g. d20.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this online coin flip really 50/50?
Yes. Each flip uses one fair random bit from your browser's cryptographic random generator, so heads and tails each have exactly a 50% chance, every time, with no memory of previous flips.
Is a virtual coin fairer than a real coin?
In practice, yes. A large 2023 study of more than 350,000 real coin tosses found that a coin lands on the same side it started on about 50.8% of the time, because of how people flip. A virtual coin has no starting side and no technique to influence it.
Does the animation decide the result?
No. The result is drawn the instant you tap Flip; the spinning coin is then turned to show that face. Users who prefer reduced motion see the result immediately.
I got heads five times in a row. Is something wrong?
No. Five heads in a row has a 1 in 32 (about 3.1%) chance, so it happens regularly over many flips. The next flip is still exactly 50/50. Streaks like this are a normal part of randomness.
What does “Flip 100 at once” show?
It tosses 100 coins instantly and adds them to your stats. You will rarely get exactly 50 heads — that happens only about 8% of the time — but the result lands between 40 and 60 heads about 96% of the time.
How do I roll two dice?
Switch to “Roll dice”, choose 2 dice and d6 (normal dice), then tap Roll or press Space. You see both dice and the total. A total of 7 is the most common result, with 6 of the 36 possible combinations.
Which dice can I roll?
d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d100 — the common dice used in board games and tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. You can roll up to six at once.
Can I use it for a cricket toss or to decide who goes first?
Yes. Agree beforehand who calls heads or tails, then flip once on a screen everyone can see. For more than two people or options, a Random Name Picker or Spin the Wheel is easier.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It works in any modern mobile or desktop browser. Tap the button to flip; on a computer you can also press the Space bar.
Is the history saved?
The last 20 results and the stats stay while the page is open. Nothing is uploaded or stored on a server; Clear resets everything.
Why is there no sound?
Some phones mute browser audio in silent mode, and browsers only allow sound after you tap the page. Tap Flip once and sound will work if your device allows it.
Is the coin flip tool free?
Yes. It is free, unlimited and needs no sign-up.
