Two up: The great Australian game. Two up's fame really spread during the First World War when Australian soldiers in France would spend their spare time gambling on the toss of two pennies. Even today games of two up are played around Australia on Anzac Day (25 April), with police turning a blind eye to illegal gambling on this one day of the year. Two up has been part of Broken Hill life for many years. For more than 60 years the illegal two up school was conducted behind a large green door in Crystal Lane at the rear of a greasy spoon cafe. Today two up is held at the Palace Hotel every Friday from 9pm.
