Coin Game

Suppose you have a biased coin, where the probability of throwing a $H$ is 0.45. Let's play a game: if you toss a head you gain one point, and if you toss a tails you lose one point. If after three coin tosses you have at least one point, you win £100. Otherwise, you win nothing. What's the fair price to play this game?
