Coin Flip

Coin Flip is the simplest of our reveal mechanics. The customer sees a 3D coin spin on a Framer Motion axis; it lands on the result the backend already decided. Fast, mobile-friendly, fits well with one-shot ticket purchases.

How it’s wired

• 3D CSS transform on the coin face. No canvas required.
• Spin duration ≈ 1.6 seconds — long enough for anticipation, short enough not to bore.
• Heads/tails mapping to win/no-win is server-decided. The coin just animates to the predetermined face.

When to use it

• Quick-purchase competitions where a customer buys 1–3 tickets. The animation feels rewarding without dragging.
• Brand mood: classic, sports, retro casino. Less “modern gaming” than scratch or plinko.

Enabling it

Currently activated by setting the competition type to coin at creation. Some operators reserve coin flip for a specific category (e.g. instant-wins under £25). Mix and match by competition.

Don’t over-use it

Customers who buy 30 tickets and have to watch 30 coin flips churn. Beyond ~10 tickets in a single order, use Instant Reveal instead (all results appear together with a confetti burst).
