Functions

Main Menu

Toss Coins

Creates a simulation of a two-sided coin toss, and you have the option to weight the sides of the coin. You can flip up to 3 coins at once, and the number of heads is tallied.

Roll Dice

Creates a simulation of rolling up to three dice. The type of dice includes 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 sides. The sum of the faces is tallied.

Pick Marbles

Creates a simulation of picking up to 5 different marbles from a bag. The simulation can run with or without replacement. The number of each type of marble in each pick is tallied.

Spin Spinners

Creates a simulation of one spinner with between 2 and 8 sections. Each section can be weighted. The spinner results are tallied.

Draw Cards

Creates a simulation of drawing one card at a time from a 52- or 32-card deck. For each pick, the number and suit are tallied. The draw of a card from the deck can be set with or without replacement from each draw. You can only use one deck at a time.

Random Numbers

Generates (draws) a set of up to 6 random numbers. The number range can be set from 0 to 99. Repetition or no repetition of numbers from the range can be set as an option. Each draw of the random set is tallied on the screen.
