If there’s no coin nearby, you can easily use your Amazon Echo as one. Something like this can be great if there’s a disagreement while you’re playing a game and need a deciding factor. Simply say “Alexa, flip a coin” and she’ll give you either heads or tails. Need to make a decision and don’t want to put the responsibility on yourself? Ask Alexa to make the decision for you by having her flip a coin.



Unfortunately, that’s the extent of her skills when it comes to playing cards, as she doesn’t understand something like “Alexa, pick a five-card hand”, which would make a skill like this much more useful. Whether you’re performing a magic trick or just need a random card for a game, you can ask Alexa to pick a card from a standard 52-card deck.Īll you have to say is “Alexa, pick a card” and she’ll randomly pick out a card and tell you what it is.
