Our heads-and-tails round is anyone’s game, and the winner gets the chance to pick the Queen of Hearts from a deck of cards that gets smaller each week as more cards are chosen and discarded. Pick the winning card and take home the jackpot that goes up by $50 each week.
Please note: anyone caught using their mobile phone to cheat buys a round for every team.
