Yut Fortune

Yut fortune-telling is an old New Year custom: throw the sticks three times to read your luck for the year. In PocketYut you can draw today’s fortune every day.

How it works

  1. Tap “Fortune” in the lobby.
  2. Throw the sticks three times. Each throw reads as a number: do 1, gae 2, geol 3, mo 4.
  3. The three numbers make a three-digit code, one of 64 fortunes. Geol, geol, mo makes 334.
  4. You get the fortune’s meaning, its Korean reading and hanja, plus a short note from Daenggi.

A new fortune is ready at midnight Korea time.

An elder brother gains a younger brother.

Ga-ga-deuk-je 哥哥得弟

Daenggi: “Big brother got a little brother~ A trusty buddy is coming. Three mos in a row, lucky you!”

Unlike Yut Nori: do, gae, geol and mo are equally likely

When you throw the sticks in Yut Nori, do, gae and geol come up often and mo is rare. Not in a fortune. Do, gae, geol and mo each come up exactly a quarter of the time, so do-do-do (111) is just as likely as mo-mo-mo (444). Yut, back-do and nak never come up in a fortune.
