Two-up
Two-up is a gambling game in which coins are spun in the air and bets are laid on whether they fall heads or tails.
The game is regulated under the Gambling (Two-up) Act 1998 and may only be conducted on:
- Anzac Day (25 April in any year)
- Victory in the Pacific Day (15 August in any year), and
- Remembrance Day (11 November in any year but only after noon).
A permit is not required.
The only exception to this is Broken Hill, where two-up is played all year round under a special licence from the New South Wales Government.
Playing Two-up
Two-up should be conducted in accordance with the traditional rules of the game. The usual rules of two-up are relatively straightforward. The ringkeeper controls the spinner and the conduct of the game. The spinner places two pennies on the kip and tosses them. The pennies must have spun at least two metres over the head of the spinner and must not come into contact with any object or person and must land within the boundaries of the ring to be a valid toss. Players bet on either two tails or two heads coming uppermost when the pennies land. No other result is valid.
