You find the cup player in the left back of the taproom. or access the cup player from the tavern menu (dice cup icon) or from the tavern building in the city.
Thimblerig
You can bet gold and mushrooms. The cup player hides a ball under one of the cups and shuffles them.
Now you have to guess under which cup the ball is. If you guess correctly, you'll win your stake twice. If you guess wrong, you'll lose your bet. While the cup player is displayed, you can enter /gold bet <amount> or /mushroom bet <amount> in guild chat to place bets. If you bet but leave the tavern, the game will automatically select one of the three cups for you.
The chance to win is 1/3.
Game of Dice
After unlocking pets and the tower, you have the option to play a dice game as an alternative to the thimblerig game. By clicking the button with the red ball/die you can toggle the games.
You get five dice and have two tries per round. The goal is to roll three or more of the same symbols. In order to save dice for the second roll, you have to click/tap them. The more identical symbols are displayed after the second roll, the higher the prize.
The prize must be actively collected. If you fail to collect it and roll the dice again, the prize is lost.
You can play up to ten dice games per day. After every completed dice game you have to wait 60 minutes. The waiting time can be skipped with an hourglass.
