Thimbles: Evoplay's shell game
Thimbles is an instant game from Evoplay built on the classic shell game: a ball is hidden under one of three cups, here small wooden barrels, which are shuffled before the player picks one. There are two modes, with one ball or two, and each has its own win multiplier.
How the shell game works
There are no reels or lines: the whole round comes down to one choice between three positions. The only decision before the shuffle is how many balls to hide, which sets both the chance of being right and the size of the payout. After the click the result shows at once and a new round can begin.
The game table
The three barrels sit on a stone table inside a frame of glowing green veins, under the Thimbles title. A History panel at the side lists played rounds, and a Provably fair button at the top shows the round's HASH string. At the bottom are the bet controls, Min, minus, plus and Max around the Total Bet field, followed by the two mode buttons, "1 ball" marked x2.88 and "2 balls" marked x1.44.
The two modes
Mode | Multiplier | Profile |
|---|---|---|
1 ball | x2.88 | Riskier, higher payout |
2 balls | x1.44 | Less risky, lower payout |
Each mode's multiplier is printed right on its button, so the two can be compared before a round starts. With two balls hidden, two cups out of three win, which is why the payout is cut in half.
A round, step by step
Set the stake in the Total Bet field.
Choose the mode, one ball or two; that choice starts the shuffle.
Once the cups stop, click the one you think hides the ball.
If the ball is there, the stake is multiplied by 2.88, or by 1.44 in two-ball mode.
Checking a round
The game presents itself as provably fair: according to its rules, any round can be checked with any SHA-256 hash generator. Open the round's details in History, copy the Validation string field into the generator's Data field and click Generate; the code you get should match the round's hash. History also keeps the round's duration, bet level, profit, chosen position and the order of the cups.
Compared with similar games
The site has its own take on the game in 1xGames: 1xGames Thimbles uses the same one-or-two-ball mechanic, with odds of 2.91 and 1.45, slightly above Evoplay's 2.88 and 1.44, while staying with three cups. Dragon Tiger belongs to the same family of quick guessing games, but compares two cards and pays 1:1.
