Thimbles: a 1xGames guessing game with three thimbles
Thimbles is a guessing game in the 1xGames section of 1xBet. Three thimbles move fast, and a ball sits under one of them.

On the game screen, three golden thimbles stand in a row on a platform beneath a banner that invites you to place a bet, with the Thimbles logo above it. Along the front edge of the platform are two mode buttons, one for each number of balls.
How a game of Thimbles goes


Choose your stake and activate the game.
Select the number of balls: one or two.
Watch the thimbles closely as they move and guess which one the ball is hidden under. The game tests the sharpness of your eye.
Win, and the prize is yours.
Odds for one ball or two
The number of balls sets the odds, and the odds set the size of the prize.
Balls in play | Mode button | Odds |
|---|---|---|
One | green | 2.91 |
Two | blue | 1.45 |
A winning game pays your stake multiplied by the odds of the chosen mode: stake × 2.91 with one ball, stake × 1.45 with two.
The rest of the screen
The chosen mode lights up in green and the other button turns blue, so a switch from one ball to two is visible at once on the platform. At the top, a question-mark button sits beside the banner. Each mode button shows its ball count next to its odds, x2.91 on the green one and x1.45 on the blue one, and the “Rules” window opens over the game screen.
To see the difference in practice, take the same stake twice. Played in one-ball mode and won, it comes back multiplied by 2.91; played in two-ball mode and won, it comes back multiplied by 1.45, which is roughly half as much.
Thimbles compared with Apple of Fortune and Under and Over 7


In Apple of Fortune, also part of 1xGames, finding hidden apples takes you through a grid of ten rows; each row offers five cells, and you may stop and collect at any level, while a rotten apple ends the game. Under and Over 7 replaces the hidden object with two dice and three outcomes around the number 7. Thimbles is the shortest of the three: one guess, three thimbles, and odds that depend only on the number of balls in play.

Popular events and sports news
Thimbles: frequently asked questions
Is a one-ball prize closer to double or to triple the stake?
Closer to triple: the stake times 2.91 falls just short of three times the stake.
Does a two-ball win pay back more than the stake?
Yes. The prize is the stake times 1.45: more than the stake itself, yet less than one and a half times it.
For the same stake, which mode gives the bigger prize?
The one-ball mode: its odds of 2.91 are slightly more than twice the 1.45 of the two-ball mode.
Do I pick the number of balls before or after the thimbles move?
Before. The stake is chosen and the game activated first, then the number of balls, and only then do you follow the thimbles.
