Under the red-and-white lighthouse, Jowan the grey seal keeper rings his brass bell three times a day, and each ring opens a world: the rock pools at low water, the fish landing at first light and the paddle steamer on the river at sundown. The pools are already spinning on this page, with free play coins tucked into the shrimping net for your opening go.

Every coin in that net is pretend harbour money that no chandlery stocks and no fish merchant will cash, and only adults past their eighteenth birthday may sit on the slipway.
Harbour coins, never cash · 18+ · no harbour dues, no prize crate · a free account lifts the boom on Silverdawn Crates and Redwheel Reach
Springtide Rockpools turns right here below the lighthouse, with coins already sitting in the shrimping net, so your first spin costs nothing and asks nothing.
When the dawn boats and the evening steamer start calling, tell Jowan your quayside nickname, add an email address and a secret password, confirm your eighteenth birthday is behind you, and he rings you in with 100,000 coins.
Whatever the pools paid out sloshes along in your bucket, and from then on the ticket keeps your coin tally, your level and your missions bundled under that one nickname.

Silverdawn Crates and Redwheel Reach sit past the harbour-master's hut, and Jowan lets you through with a free ticket that wants three things from you: a name to chalk on the hut door, an inbox Jowan can reach and a password of your choosing. He ties 100,000 coins to it with a red ribbon, plus everything the rock pools have already handed you.

At first light the painted boats nose in against the stone quay and the nets spill silver into wooden crates under the hanging brass bell. The wildest world at the harbour: every winning line drops out of sight and the catch tumbles down to refill it, up to x5.

As the sun sinks behind the willows, the old paddle steamer with the big red wheel churns up the tidal river past the town spires, flags flying from its two tall funnels. A middle-paced world whose free round gathers steam from x2 up to x4 and keeps it to the last spin.

The harbour is here for a cheerful hour, and its coins would not buy a single pasty from the café on the slipway. Wander off whenever you like, or ask Jowan to ring his bell when the time you picked is up. The National Gambling Helpline is free and confidential on 0808 8020 133, any time of day.

Jowan had the code of each water spun 5,000,000 times over and chalked the results on the tide board by the harbour office. They tell you about free coin play on this quay, and say nothing whatever about a real-money game.
Yes. Springtide Rockpools turns for every visitor the moment the page opens, both here and on the world's own page, and nobody hands you a form. The dawn landing and the sundown steamer each need a free account first.
Nothing. The harbour has no ticket kiosk, no coin shop and nowhere to type a card number.
No. Harbour coins exist to spin with and nothing else: the fish merchants will not take them, they cannot be bought or swapped for cash, and no prize sits waiting at the end of the quay.
All of them. A new keeper's ticket starts at 100,000 coins and your rock-pool balance is added on top.
No. Every pool, crate and paddle turns inside an ordinary browser tab on phone, tablet or laptop, and nothing is ever stored as an app.
Grown-ups only: UK residents who have reached 18. The open rock pools keep the same rule, and the free ticket asks you to confirm your age.
Only adults of 18 and over come down the quay steps at Pilchard Quay. Every water is played with virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins are never bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. The harbour office keeps no coin counter and no payment page, puts up no prize of real-world value, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
