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.
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.
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+.
Weirboard Rise is the easiest of the three to sit with for an hour. Modest returns keep turning up across its twenty lines while the Grey Heron and the Brass Handwheel hold the larger ones back for the free round. Three Marker Stones anywhere start ten free spins, the multiplier lifting across the opening four spins and then settling at four times for the remainder, with fifteen spins on four stones and twenty-two on all five. Stones that land mid-round add spins without knocking the ladder back down. The Board Shield fills in for everything but a stone.
Board by Board. Free spins one and two are worth double, three and four are worth triple, and from the fifth onwards each win is worth four times over; the ladder never descends mid-round.
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 97.8%, hit frequency 33.8%, free spins about once in 132 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 112 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Sign in, climb the bank to the weir hatch and set a stake across the twenty lines.
Spin. The Board Shield covers for every picture apart from the Marker Stone.
Three Marker Stones anywhere begin Board by Board: ten free spins multiplied twice, twice, three times, three times, then four times to the finish.
Anyone after a gentle hour that still builds towards something, especially players who like watching a multiplier climb and stay put.
A steady flow of modest returns on paid spins. The second half of Board by Board, once the multiplier has reached four times, is where the round does its real work.
| Reel picture | Five along one line | The same, set against the whole stake |

| 550× the line stake | 27.5× the whole stake | |
| 320× the line stake | 16× the whole stake |
The five card ranks (10 to A) pay the least. Three Marker Stones anywhere open the free round. Full values for three and four of a kind are in the paytable.
No. Once the ladder has climbed a rung it stays there until the free spins finish.
Extra spins are added and the ladder resumes from the rung it had already reached rather than dropping to the bottom.
Yes, this one runs on twenty while the flume and the hatchpool use twenty-five, which is part of why it feels calmer.
Missions are set fresh each day and count in all three worlds. Nobody has to take them on.

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.
