Pick a stake and spin. Five lines are covered on every spin, so a stake of 5 coins per line costs 25 coins in total.

Coins are free virtual counters with no monetary value. They cannot be bought, cashed out, redeemed or exchanged for anything.

01 / How it pays

The paytable, in full

Values below are multiples of your stake per line, and a win needs matching symbols starting from reel one and running left to right. The Bulb Star counts as any paying symbol, so a Bulb Star sitting between two Popcorn Boxes completes a three-of-a-kind.

Symbol values per line
Symbol Three Four Five
Carousel Canopy 15×60×250×
Candy Floss 10×40×150×
Ticket Stub 20×80×
Balloon 15×60×
Popcorn Box 12×40×
Bulb Star (wild) Stands in for any paying symbol above
Big Wheel (scatter) 20×100×

Big Wheel values are multiples of your total stake and pay from anywhere on the grid, not along a line.

How a spin works

Each reel is a fixed strip of twenty positions holding one Bulb Star, one Big Wheel, two Carousel Canopies, three Candy Floss, four Ticket Stubs, four Balloons and five Popcorn Boxes. When you spin, the game draws a fresh stop position for each reel from crypto.getRandomValues and shows the three positions that land in the window.

Because the strips are identical and every stop is equally likely, the odds are the same on every spin no matter what came before. Work the paytable above through every possible combination and it returns about 91 coins for every 100 staked across a very long run — that is arithmetic from the values you can see, not a forecast for your next ten spins, which could just as easily be five duds and a Big Wheel.

Keyboard and touch

Tab to the stake menu and the spin button and use Enter or Space to fire. On a phone the reels shrink to fit the screen without changing the odds, and the result line under the reels is announced by screen readers each round.

Coins, plainly

A spin costs virtual coins and pays virtual coins. Nothing on this screen involves money, and no result can be exchanged for cash, goods or prizes.

If your balance runs low, the reset control above puts it back to 10,000, and a free top-up arrives the first time you open the site each day.
