PvP games: play against real opponents

The Coverd Arcade has 19 PvP games: quick rounds of reaction, timing, aim and pattern play, matched against someone playing for the same amount.

In California, Indiana, Maine, New York, PvP games of skill are the entire arcade — chance-based games are not offered there.

Every PvP game is free to play with coins. Coverd Cash mode is also available, and winnings can be redeemed once your balance reaches 50 Coverd Cash. No purchase necessary.

Matchmaking pairs you with someone playing for the same amount, so both players have the same thing on the line. Rounds are short — most take under a minute — and the games are built to be learned in one go rather than studied: reaction, timing, aim and pattern formats.

The catalogue comes from two studios building specifically for head-to-head play, and it is the part of the arcade that grows fastest, because a PvP game needs a fraction of the content a slot does.

If you have only played chance-based games before, the difference is immediate: there is no house edge to sit against, just another player. Getting better at a game genuinely wins more of them, which is not true anywhere else in the arcade.
