Slot Summary

Three face-down containers, one hidden stone, and a single choice replace reels entirely in Thimbles. Evoplay's March 2018 instant game adapts the shell game into a compact round: watch the shuffle, choose a container, and resolve the result at once. A second mode places two balls under the containers, changing the hit chance and payout while preserving the same visual test.
MechanicsTrack the shuffle, then choose one container

How It Plays

Each round first shows the stone's location beneath three identical face-down containers. After the shuffle finishes, one container must be selected to settle the wager.

The alternative mode uses two balls under the same three containers. It changes the probability and reward, but the observe, shuffle, and choose sequence remains intact.

Bankroll survival simulator

How long could a bankroll last on Thimbles? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (2×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
