Cressbed Flume
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.
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.
No charge now, no charge later. The account holds your 100,000 coins, your favourites, your level and your daily missions from visit to visit — and it is where we check you are 18 or over before a reel moves.
Virtual coins and nothing else. No real-money gambling, no prizes of real-world value, nothing on sale. 18+.
Mayfly Hatchpool keeps most of its value in the Moorhen and the Speckled Trout, which means patient stretches of flat water between the bright moments and a firmer jolt when one finally breaks the surface. Second Rise takes the sting out of near misses: two floats on a blank spin send the last reel round again by itself, and whatever settles is judged exactly as any other spin would be. Three floats anywhere are worth nine free spins, each win inside them doubled, with fourteen spins for four floats and twenty-two for the full five. The Mayfly Seal covers anything except a float.
Second Rise. If a paid spin returns nothing while exactly two Painted Floats rest on the grid, the fifth reel alone is given one more turn at no cost.
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 93.8%, hit frequency 39.6%, free spins about once in 97 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 122 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.

Spin. If a paid result pays nothing while two Painted Floats are showing, the fifth reel is handed one more turn by itself.
Three floats bring nine free spins at double pay, a fourth float lifts the count to fourteen, and all five give twenty-two.
Players happy to wait through flat water for the occasional sharp rise, and anyone who enjoys watching a lone reel spin for a second chance.
The widest swings on the farm. The Moorhen and the Speckled Trout carry much of the pay table, so good stretches tend to arrive in a rush rather than a trickle.
| Reel picture | Five along one line | The same, set against the whole stake |

| 6,000× the line stake | 240× the whole stake | |
| 3,400× the line stake | 136× the whole stake | |
| 1,600× the line stake | 64× the whole stake | |
| 1,000× the line stake | 40× the whole stake | |
| 550× the line stake | 22× the whole stake | |
| 320× the line stake | 12.8× the whole stake |
The five card ranks (10 to A) pay the least. Three Painted Floats anywhere open the free round. Full values for three and four of a kind are in the paytable.
It does not. The rule applies to paid spins alone, where a blank result showing two floats earns the fifth reel one more turn.
On purpose. A larger share of the pay table hides in the scarcest pictures, and nothing is ever withheld or stored up to be released later.
Never. The float is the scatter, and a wild does not substitute for a scatter in any of these worlds.
Missions are set fresh each day and count in all three worlds. Nobody has to take them on.

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.
