The Card Room · points → coins

Learn Spanish Casino Elements

How points become coins

  1. Earn points inside the lesson. Every card you produce has a 25% chance to drop points. In Practice a drop pays one point per ten words. In Test it pays the card’s full Spanish word count — and finishing the deck pays a bonus of one point per unique Spanish word in it. Study mode drops nothing.
  2. Convert at the end of the lesson. Finish the deck and one of the tables below is chosen at random to stake your points. You cannot pick the game and you cannot decline it: the points either double into coins or go to zero. Leave a lesson unfinished and every point you earned in it is gone.
  3. Every table is EV-neutral. The house edge never exceeds 1.5%, and no table pays the player long-run. Some run quick and even; some run hot variance — the slots jackpot line pays 1784 to 1. Coins buy lesson and girl unlocks — and money can never buy coins.
