Trigger css hover in javascript

Question

So I'm working a coin flip minigame and I need an animation. My code so far is:
HTML:

<div class="flip-container">
    <div class="flipper">
        <div class="front">
            <img src="http://i.imgur.com/YS84SGq.png" alt="" />
        </div>
        <div class="back">
            <img src="http://i.imgur.com/lDR0Xj8.png" alt="" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

.flip-container 
{
    position: absolute;
    perspective: 1000;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    margin-top: 25%;
}

.flip-container, .flip-container .front, .flip-container .back 
{
    -moz-border-radius: 150px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 150px;
    border-radius: 150px;
    width: 150px;
    height: 150px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.front img, .back img
{
    width: 150px;
    height: 150px;
}

.flip-container .flipper 
{
    transition: 3s;
    transform-style: preserve-3d;
    position: relative;
}

.flip-container .flipper .front, .flip-container .flipper .back 
{
    backface-visibility: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
}
.flip-container .flipper .front 
{
    z-index: 2;
    transform: rotateY(0deg);
}
.flip-container .flipper .back 
{
    transform: rotateY(180deg);
}

.flip-container:hover .flipper, .flip-container.hover .flipper 
{
    transform: rotateY(720deg);
}

A working demo: https://jsfiddle.net/k0pjcftp/
As you can see, animation works fine on hover. But I need to trigger it somehow through javascript, and I have no idea how. I tried adding a css class with transform(...) but animation wasn't working. Any ideas?

You can use jQuery's hover method and toggle the hover class on your container.

$('.flip-container').hover(function() {
	$(this).toggleClass('hover');
});

.flip-container 
{
	position: absolute;
	perspective: 1000;
	top: 50%;
	left: 50%;
	-moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
	-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
	-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
	transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
	margin-top: 25%;
}

.flip-container, .flip-container .front, .flip-container .back 
{
	-moz-border-radius: 150px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 150px;
	border-radius: 150px;
	width: 150px;
	height: 150px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

.front img, .back img
{
	width: 150px;
	height: 150px;
}

.flip-container .flipper 
{
	transition: 3s;
	transform-style: preserve-3d;
	position: relative;
}

.flip-container .flipper .front, .flip-container .flipper .back 
{
	backface-visibility: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
}
.flip-container .flipper .front 
{
	z-index: 2;
	transform: rotateY(0deg);
}
.flip-container .flipper .back 
{
	transform: rotateY(180deg);
}

/*.flip-container:hover .flipper,*/ .flip-container.hover .flipper 
{
	transform: rotateY(720deg);
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="flip-container">
				<div class="flipper">
					<div class="front">
						<img src="http://i.imgur.com/YS84SGq.png" alt="" />
					</div>
					<div class="back">
						<img src="http://i.imgur.com/lDR0Xj8.png" alt="" />
					</div>
				</div>
			</div>

Little bit of misunderstanding here. I need to launch the animation as soon as my timer ends, no matter is user hovering this or not. Any way to do that?

What timer? You can just toggle the .hover class whenever you need to.

Yes, I tried that but it just make the animation working on hover, I need to just launch the animation, whatever is user doing.
