Mayfly Hatchpool
Dusk settles over the deep pool below the hatches, mayflies lifting off the surface while something speckled watches them. Twenty-five lines and a top-heavy pay table.
Timber flumes carry spring water between square beds of dark green cress, across twenty-five lines. A guest pass opens it for two hours, and the free round is worth double on every winning line.
This is the world the guest pass covers. Two ticks and it is yours for a couple of hours — no email, no password, no card. A free account keeps the coins for good and opens the other two hatches.
Virtual coins and nothing else. No real-money gambling, no prizes of real-world value, nothing on sale. 18+.
Cressbed Flume is the world Tansy hands to visitors, because none of it needs explaining. There are no respins and no tumbling symbols, only twenty-five lines of trugs, bottles and dripping bundles of cress, weighted evenly so returns arrive at a comfortable trot rather than in bursts. The Cress Crest stands in for every picture bar the Hatch Wheel. Turn three wheels and ten free spins begin with each payout doubled; a fourth wheel makes it fifteen spins and a fifth makes it twenty-five. A sensible place to learn the rhythm of the farm before the other two hatches are opened.
Flume Double. Land three Hatch Wheels or more and the free round begins, where each winning line is worth twice its usual amount; further wheels inside the round extend it.
Everything on this farm is paid for with free virtual coins. No real-money gambling goes on, no win is worth anything outside these pages, and there is nothing on sale. A random number generator settles each result, and no earlier spin has any say in the next.
Measured by running this page's own engine for 5,000,000 spins: coin RTP 95.7%, hit frequency 35.5%, free spins about once in 147 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 90 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Tick the two boxes on the guest pass, one for being eighteen or over and one for a UK address, and the flume is yours for two hours.
Choose a stake and spin. The Cress Crest completes a line in place of any picture except the Hatch Wheel.
Three Hatch Wheels anywhere start Flume Double, ten free spins in which every payout is worth twice its usual amount.
Newcomers, and anybody who would sooner watch a machine work for a while before typing an email address anywhere. The tempo is level and the bonus needs no explanation.
Small returns land often across twenty-five lines and the quiet patches stay short. Where a session has a high point, it usually sits inside the doubled free spins.

Yes. Two hours of Cressbed Flume come with the pass and cost nothing. Only Mayfly Hatchpool and Weirboard Rise wait behind a free registration.

Dusk settles over the deep pool below the hatches, mayflies lifting off the surface while something speckled watches them. Twenty-five lines and a top-heavy pay table.

Oak boards go into the weir hatch one at a time and the water climbs behind them. Twenty lines, and a free round whose multiplier keeps rising without ever dropping back.
