Flick a coin. A live Bitcoin chart falls out. Sometimes it's a 5-minute candle. Sometimes a week of gold. Once, mid-Trick-Shot, the Nvidia coin slid into the pocket and revealed NVDA's last hour as a green gradient line — and I forgot I was playing. Eleven real markets sit on the felt: • Crypto — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin • Metals — Gold (XAU), Silver (XAG), Copper • Energy — Crude Oil (WTI) • Stocks — S&P 500 (SPY), Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) Live prices stream from Binance perpetual futures. Every flick rolls a new chart — random timeframe, random style. The same Bitcoin coin shows you a different chart every time you knock it. The coins have mass that matches the asset. Gold is a brick. Doge is a marble. Hit Copper with Silver and physics behaves like physics. Tilt your phone and the table tilts with you. The felt remembers. How it plays • Pass-and-play with a friend, or take on the bot • Wager Tiny, Big, or All before each shot — pot scales 1× to 5× as coins fall • 20 hand-designed Trick Shot puzzles, three-star scoring • Daily Challenge with a par score I have personally failed to beat on a Tuesday Not a trading app. A fidget toy that happens to stream perpetual futures — bitcoin charts, oil prices, gold price, stock charts of NVDA, AAPL, SPY. All real. All live. Free. No ads. No subscriptions.
