Heads & Tails Game : Only $10 to play this lively game with a chance to win a brand new Apple iPad Mini 16GB WiFi!! This is how you play—our auctioneer will flip a coin—then you choose “Heads” or “Tails” by placing your hands on your head or your tail. The auctioneer will announce whether the coin toss was heads or if it was tails, and whoever chose correctly remains standing. The game continues this way until the lucky last person standing wins the iPad Mini!
