Wind the paddles, fill the chamber
and let the reels rise with the water

Three worlds lie along one English canal, and the first, Paddlegear Lock with its black-and-white balance beams, is ready to spin right here on this page. Jory, the kingfisher skipper in the striped jumper who works the gates, has left a windlass and a pile of free coins on the lockside for you.

Down at the lockside

Step onto the brick lockside and spin while the chamber fills

Every coin on the lock is pretend: the keeper sells none and pays none out, and the towpath is for grown-ups of 18 or over only.

Measured, not claimed

Jory's lock log of measured reels

Jory ran each machine through millions of test spins on the very code you play here and logged what every set of reels actually handed back, like water levels chalked on the lock wall.

Measured, not guessed: Jory ran each game’s own code for 5,000,000 spins to get these. They describe free coin play on the cut only — not any real-money game.

From lock to millrace

1

Work the lock first

Paddlegear Lock is already turning on this front page, coins stacked by the balance beam, no paperwork at the gates.

2

Collect a canal licence

Want to drift down to the mayfly pool or walk the feeder stream to the sawmill? Jory needs a nickname, your email, a fresh password and your word that you are 18 or over, then passes 100,000 coins across the cabin roof.

3

One licence for the whole cut

The lock coins come aboard with you. After that the licence stows your coins, level and missions in one locker under your boating nickname.

Your canal licence

A free licence takes the boat below the lock and up the feeder stream

Lower Pound Rise and Feederbrook Mill sit beyond a free canal licence, and the fee is three things: a nickname, your email, a password of your own. Jory chalks 100,000 coins onto it and pours in whatever the lock has already paid you.

Lower Pound Rise

Below the overflow hatches the canal spills into a deep, still pool, and at dusk the mayflies lift off it in a golden haze while the trout rise. The boldest mooring on the canal, where two floats on a spin that misses buy reel five another cast.

Feederbrook Mill

Follow the feeder stream up into the pinewoods and you reach an old timber sawmill at sunrise, its wheel churning the millrace and a golden saw blade catching the light. A middle-paced walk where the free-spin multiplier only ever climbs.

Tie up at the bollard and put the kettle on

The canal moves at four miles an hour for a reason, and its coins mean nothing off the towpath. Moor up whenever you like, or ask Jory to ring the cabin bell after a set spell at the reels. The National Gambling Helpline is free and confidential on 0808 8020 133, any time of day.

Questions

Questions from the towpath

Yes. Paddlegear Lock opens for anyone straight away, from this page or its own mooring page, with no sign-up of any kind. Lower Pound Rise and Feederbrook Mill need a free account.

Nothing. The towpath has no coin kiosk, no till and nowhere to type card details.

No. Canal coins are for spinning and nothing more: they are never sold, never bought and never cashed in, and no stack of them turns into anything of real value.

Yes, every one. Your licence starts at 100,000 coins and Jory tips the lock balance in on top.

No. The canal opens in a web browser tab, and a phone, tablet or laptop gets there with nothing installed.

Only UK residents who have had their 18th birthday. That covers the open lock too, and the licence form asks for your age before it is stamped.
