Thimbles: find the ball with Evoplay

Made by Evoplay, Thimbles brings the old shell game to the screen. Three small wooden barrels hide one or two balls; after the shuffle you pick the one you think holds a ball. The payout depends on the mode: x2.88 with a single ball, x1.44 with two.

Three positions, one choice

There are no reels or combinations here: every round comes down to pointing at one of three barrels. The player decides only two things, the stake and the number of balls, and then it is all settled in a click. The result appears straight away and the next round can follow immediately. Each round is independent: a fresh shuffle starts every time a mode button is pressed, and the History panel adds a row for every game played.

One ball or two: the real decision

The two-ball mode carries less risk, since two barrels out of three win, but it pays half as much. The one-ball mode doubles the possible win while halving the chance of finding the ball. Both mode buttons show their multiplier, and clicking one of them is what starts the shuffle. If the chosen barrel is empty, the stake is lost.

How it runs

1. Adjust the stake with minus or plus, or jump straight to the minimum or maximum with Min and Max.

2. Click "1 ball" or "2 balls" to start the shuffle.

3. Wait for the barrels to stop, then choose one.

4. A win multiplies the stake by the mode's figure; a miss loses it.

The stone table with its glowing green frame fills the centre of the screen, while the History panel and the Provably fair button, with its HASH string, sit at the side.

Checking that a round is fair

The game calls itself provably fair. According to its rules, any SHA-256 hash generator can check a round: open the round's card in History, drop its Validation string into the Data box of the generator, then press Generate. If the resulting code matches the round's hash, the result has not been altered. The Hash button copies exactly that validation string.

Demo and real money

In the slots lobby, Thimbles opens as a free demo without a stake, so both modes can be tried. The Evoplay page lists the studio's other titles. Real stakes require a 1xBet account, created through registration.
