The marbling vat open to all, the tin train and the rainy window behind a free key, and every rule painted up plainly.
Swirlcomb Vat is open to everyone: spin it on the home page or on its own page with free play coins. There is no name, email or password to give and nothing to tick.
Rooftrack Rattler and Puddleglass Sill need a free account, and the whole form is four fields long: a nickname, an email address, a password and a tick to confirm you are 18 or over. No card field, no address and no phone number appear, because there is nothing in the alley to pay for. The key has two jobs: it keeps your coins and progress safe for next time, and it keeps the reels for adults. A single button on your account page deletes it together with everything it holds.
You get 100,000 free coins to start, topped up with anything the marbling vat paid you in this browser. That balance, your level and your missions go with you from wall to wall. Coins are virtual: they cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged for anything, and no win has real-world value.
There are no in-app purchases, and no payment page anywhere in the alley.
Every wall has five reels and three rows. Wins count from left to right, beginning on reel one and running along adjacent reels over fixed paylines. Your stake is split equally between lines; paytable values are multiples of the line bet, except for the scatter, which is paid on the total stake. Each line pays only its biggest win.
| Wall trick | What the trick does to the reels | Walls |
|---|---|---|
| Tumbling reels | Winning symbols wash off, the rest run down and fresh ones fall in from the top. Every new win in the run pays a bigger multiple: x1 on the spin itself, then x2, x3, and x5 for every tumble after that. | Puddleglass Sill |
| Multiplier climbing the scaffold | Throughout free spins the multiplier goes up as the round runs and never steps back down before it finishes. | |
| Marbled wilds that stay wet for a respin | A paid spin that pays nothing yet shows a wild holds every wild where it is and spins the other positions once more, free. | Swirlcomb Vat |
| Last-reel respin | A paid spin that pays nothing yet shows two scatters gives reel five one more turn, free, to look for the third. | |
| Free spins, double pay | The simplest coat of all: three scatters bring free spins, and every win in them is paid at double. | Rooftrack Rattler |
Each reel has a fixed strip of symbols. Your browser’s random number generator chooses an independent position on every strip for every spin. Previous spins have no effect on future ones, and nothing changes to match your balance or how long you have been playing.
For every wall, return, hit frequency and feature frequency are measured by putting the game’s own code through millions of spins, and appear in its paytable. They apply solely to coin play in these free games and say nothing about any real-money game.
Paint Pot Alley lets in grown-ups of 18 and over and no one else. The reels are fed with virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. There is no coin stall and no payment page anywhere down the bricks, no prize of real-world value is ever handed over, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
