History of Two Up
The exact origins of two up are obscure, but it seems to have evolved
from "pitch and toss", a gambling game involving tossing
a single coin into the air and wagering on the result of the toss
which was popular amongst poorer English and Irish citizens in the
18th century.
There is evidence to suggest that pitch and toss had evolved into
two-up, using two coins by the 1850's, and the game was played on
the goldfields of the eastern states, and spread across the country
with subsequent goldrushes elsewhere in Australia..
Two-up is now played at many of Australia's casinos, but it is
generally dropping out of the culture with the mainstream adoption
of slot machines and most young Australians have barely heard of
the game. It is also played at Returned Serviceman's Leagues on
Anzac Day.
