question about conciousness

Ok sci I just played this game called soma and I thought it was very cool. But I am confused about something. So in the game the character copies his mind over to another body twice. The first time it works, but the second time he doesn't get copied over, instead an exact copy of him gets created and he is stuck in his old body. I don't get why it didn't work the second time but it worked the first time. In the game it said it was like a coinflip but that doesn't sound /sci/eintific
