Along the old timber jetty little painted boats knock at their ropes, nets dry on the posts and a teal skiff with a patched orange sail slides home past the mango stall. Come back from a paid cast with an empty net and the anchor wilds stay tied up while every other square gets a second free throw.
These games are free now and will stay free. Your account keeps the 100,000 coins, favourites, level and daily missions safe between visits — and lets us check you are 18 or over before you spin.
Virtual coins only, 18+: no real-money gambling, no prizes of real-world value, no in-app purchases.
Patchsail Moorings is where the cove's few fishing boats tie up, and Wenlo likes to sit on the jetty steps watching the orange sail tack in. It is the calmest water in the cove: rope coils and floats turn up often, while the parrotfish and the skiff land the bigger catches. The Palm-Bound Anchor covers for every symbol bar the Rope-Post Lantern. After a paid spin with no catch, the anchors hold their moorings while every other boat bobs round once more for nothing. Three Rope-Post Lanterns glow for ten free spins, four lanterns light the jetty for fifteen and a full five for twenty-five, and late lanterns add more.
Moored Fast. Paid spin, empty net? Every Palm-Bound Anchor wild stays moored where it fell, and the boats around it are cast again once for free.
Free virtual coins are all that is ever used here. No real-money gambling takes place, a win never has real-world value and you will meet no in-app purchases. Every result is set by a random number generator, and the spin before never changes the spin after.
Measured by running this page's own engine for 10,000,000 spins: coin RTP 95.2%, hit frequency 44.7%, free spins about once in 111 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 105 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Sign in, walk along the sea wall to the old jetty and set a stake by the drying nets.
Spin. A Palm-Bound Anchor fills in for any symbol except the Rope-Post Lantern, which pays anywhere on the reels on its own.
A paid spin with no win keeps the anchors tied up for one free respin. Three lanterns are good for ten free spins; four lanterns, fifteen; five lanterns, twenty-five.
Players who like calm water, frequent small catches and a second go on the spins that come back empty.
The gentlest swings in the cove. Small pays come in often and the free respin softens many quiet patches, so the balance tends to bob rather than plunge or soar.

The five card ranks (10 to A) pay the least. Three Rope-Post Lanterns anywhere open the free round. Full values for three and four of a kind are in the paytable.
No. Moored Fast belongs to paid spins that miss; once the lanterns light up, the bonus spins run on without it.
No. They hold for a single free respin, and then the next spin starts with a clear grid.
No. The anchor is the wild and the Rope-Post Lantern is the scatter; the anchor never stands in for the lantern.
New missions roll in daily, count in every world and are purely optional.
A glassy turquoise wave rears up over the cove on a bright morning with a gold longboard riding high on its lip. Anyone can paddle in from this page, and once the buoys bob up the free-spin multiplier builds like a set, one wave taller than the last.
At sundown the long pier lights up bulb by bulb as a huge orange sun sinks behind it and pink clouds drift over. A pelican keeps watch from a post, and if a paid spin lands two pier bells but no win, the far right reel is given one extra turn for free.
