Marco's Coin Minigame Strategy

Place Your Bet

Shuffles Faster with Higher Bets

The Correct Coin Game involves Marco placing a coin under one of three cups, before shuffling the order at great speed. Picking the right cup will double the amount bet. Players can bet from 100, 1 000, and 10 000 Potch.

Money Farming Guide

Cups Shuffle Faster the Higher the Bet

Betting more Potch will increase the shuffling speed and make it really difficult to track the cup. The cups shuffle slowest when you bet 100 Potch and fastest at 10,000 Potch. Tracking the cups will basically be impossible at 10,000 Potch, you'll just have to guess at that point.

Record a Video and Play in Slow Motion

If you want to succeed with the higher bets, you can record a video of the cups shuffling using another device or a capture card and play it in slow motion to track the cup.

Save at the Inn Before Playing

Save at the Inn next to Marco

You can save at the Inn right next to where Marco is walking around. Failing to save before playing the minigame can cause you to lose all your money when you lose consecutively. Save right before playing the minigame to make sure you can reload when you need to.

How to Save

Focus on the Bottom of the Cup

Looking at the bottom of the cup can be easier to track than the cup itself. The color of the cup is darker near the bottom, and can be easily followed compared to the entire cup.
