Open water for anyone, two waters past the boom with a free account, and every rule chalked on the tide board.
Springtide Rockpools is open water for all: spin it from the home page or its own page with free play coins. No name, no email, no password, and not one box to tick before you wade in.
Silverdawn Crates and Redwheel Reach lie beyond the boom, and Jowan lifts it for anyone with a free account. His berth form wants four things: a nickname, an email address, a password and a tick confirming you are 18 or over. It has no card field, no address line and no phone number, because the harbour office charges no dues. A berth earns its keep twice over: whatever you have built up is still in the book at your next tide, and the waters stay adults-only. A single button on your account page deletes the berth and all that is entered under it.
You cast off with 100,000 free coins, topped up by anything Springtide Rockpools has paid you before signing up. Balance, level and missions sail with you into every water as one. Coins are virtual: there is no buying, selling, withdrawing or exchanging them, and no win carries real-world value.
The quay keeps no in-app purchases and has no payment page tucked in any net loft.
Every water spins five reels over three rows. A win is read left to right, beginning on reel one and running over neighbouring reels along fixed paylines. Your stake is shared out evenly among the lines; paytable values are multiples of the line bet, all but the scatter, which is paid on the total stake. Each line is paid for its best win only.
| Name of the trick | What it does to the water | Waters |
|---|---|---|
| Tumbling reels | A winning group is washed away, what remains settles downwards and fresh symbols tumble in above. With each new win in a row the pay climbs: the first win pays x1, the next tumble x2, the one after x3, and every tumble from then on x5. | Silverdawn Crates |
| Climbing multiplier | Through the free spins the multiplier creeps up like a flood tide and never ebbs back until the round ends. | Redwheel Reach |
| Sticky wild respin | When a paid spin catches nothing but a wild shows, Jowan moors each wild where it lies and the rest of the grid spins again for free. | Springtide Rockpools |
| Last-reel respin | A paid spin that comes up empty with two scatters showing gives reel five a free extra turn, trawling for the third. | |
| Doubled free spins | The plainest round on the quay: land three scatters for free spins in which every win pays twice. |
A fixed strip of symbols is wound round each reel. On every spin your browser’s random number generator picks an independent stop on every strip. Spins never steer each other, and nothing shifts with your balance or the hours you have spent on the quay.
Jowan measured each water’s return, hit frequency and feature frequency by running its own code through millions of spins, and the figures sit in its paytable. They cover coin play in these free waters and reveal nothing about any real-money game.
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.
