One balloon anyone may board, two needing a free account, and the rule book pinned to the launch shed.
Dawnquilt Lift 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.
Vinebank Hamper and Bluestripe Bake Table need a free account, and its form has just four parts: a nickname, an email address, a password and a tick to confirm you are 18 or over. Hobbin wants no card, no postal address and no phone number, because nothing on the lea is sold. The account does two jobs: your coins and progress survive between flights, and only adults get into the games. One button on your account page deletes it and all it holds.
You begin with 100,000 free coins, plus whatever Dawnquilt Lift has paid you so far in this browser. Then a single balance, level and mission list rides in every basket. These coins are virtual, so nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange them for anything, and no win holds real-world value.
No in-app purchases, and no payment page wherever you wander on the lea.
Each balloon has five reels and three rows. Reading left to right, a win starts on the first reel and runs over adjacent reels along fixed paylines. The stake is spread evenly across the lines; paytable values are multiples of the line bet, the scatter alone paying on the total stake. Each line pays just its top win.
| Bonus in the basket | What happens aloft | Balloons with it |
|---|---|---|
| Tumbling reels | Winning symbols drop out, the rest settle lower, and new ones tumble in overhead. Each extra win in the chain pays more: x1 for the spin, then x2, x3, and x5 for every tumble that follows. | |
| Rising multiplier | Across free spins the multiplier rises step on step, never sinking back until the round is done. | Dawnquilt Lift |
| Wild-hold respin | Should a paid spin land a wild yet win nothing, each wild stays pinned and the other reels spin again at no cost. | Bluestripe Bake Table |
| Last-reel respin | A paid spin with no win but two scatters gives the fifth reel a further free turn, hoping for a third. | |
| Free spins with double pay on every win | The simplest bonus: three scatters launch free spins, with each win in them paid twice. | Vinebank Hamper |
Each reel is printed with a fixed strip of symbols. Each spin, your browser’s random number generator picks an independent random stop on every strip. Earlier spins never tilt later ones, and nothing bends to your balance or the length of your session.
Every balloon’s paytable prints its return, hit frequency and feature frequency, each one drawn from millions of test spins run on the game’s own code. Those figures concern the free coin balloons alone, never a real-money game.
Every pilot at Hedgerow Balloons must be an adult of 18 or over. Each balloon runs on virtual coins with no monetary value, and nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange them. The lea has neither a coin booth nor a checkout, offers no prize of real-world value, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
