6. Play of the Game

6.1 The spinner shall select two of the coins offered by the boxer and place them on the kip. One of the coins shall be so placed with the head side uppermost and the other with the tail side uppermost and shall be in that position at the time of the spin.

6.2 A dealer or the boxer shall call "place your bets" as an advice to players to make their wagers.

6.3 On the call by the boxer of "no more bets, come in spinner", the spinner shall spin the coins.

6.4 When the spinner loses his/her spinner's wager, he/she shall retire as spinner.

6.5 Where for the first three spins of a game, the spinner has thrown three consecutive invalid spins, the spinner shall elect to retire as spinner or have the boxer or a dealer spin to continue the game until the spinner's wager is determined. In such circumstances, players may elect to withdraw or alter their wagers.

6.6 Where the spinner:

6.6.1 spins a series of odds fewer than five; or

6.6.2 having elected to spin for heads, spins a series of heads fewer than three; or

6.6.3 having elected to spin for tails, spins a series of tails fewer than three;


and then fails to continue spinning or declines further spins or, through an inability to spin the coins, spins three consecutive invalid spins, the boxer or a dealer shall spin the coins until the spinner's wager is determined.

6.7 Where the boxer considers that the spinner:

6.7.1 has repeatedly made invalid spins; or

6.7.2 is unreasonably delaying the game or has acted in a disorderly or abusive manner; or

6.7.3 has contravened these rules,

the boxer may direct the spinner to return the coins and further exclude that spinner from re-entering the ring prior to the close of play.


6.8 Where the spinner has made at least one valid spin in the current game and his/her wager is still to be determined when the boxer makes a direction pursuant to rule 6.7, then a dealer shall spin the coins in his/her stead until the spinner's wager is determined. In such circumstances, players may not amend or withdraw their wagers.

6.9 Following the spin the boxer shall announce the result after which, subject to the provisions of rule 4.1, the dealer(s) shall collect all losing wagers and pay all winning wagers.

6.10 The uppermost faces of the coins that have come to rest from a valid spin shall determine the result.
