Kipperfire Harbour smells of oak smoke from first light to last, and Tarquil the cormorant keeps three worlds along it: the tall black smokehouse where herring hang tier upon tier, the granite quay stacked with salted barrels and the night sea where brown-sailed drifters shoot their nets. Tenterhook Tiers is smouldering away just below this, and Tarquil has hung a rod of free play coins by its hatch for you.

Every harbour coin is make-believe from hook to hatch: nobody sells one, nobody cashes one, and the smokehouse is kept for visitors aged 18 or over.

When the tide goes slack Tarquil banks his fires, sits on an empty barrel with his tea and watches the drifters come in, and not one harbour coin buys a single kipper. Walk off along the harbour wall whenever you please, or set a reminder so he gives a polite croak once your chosen minutes are up.

Our responsible play tools
Saltcran Quay and Cutchsail Drift lie further along the harbour wall. Tell Tarquil what to call you, where his notes should reach you and the secret word you will knock with, promise him your eighteenth birthday is behind you, and 100,000 coins go up in chalk beside your name, with the kipper-rod winnings tipped in after.

Oak barrels stand salted and stacked in pyramids along a granite quay at first light. The calmest corner of the harbour, and a paid spin that lands bare earns one free turn more, its wilds left standing.

Brown-sailed drifters ride a moonlit sea while their nets come up glittering with herring. The wildest water in the harbour: winning fish tumble out of the reels and each extra win that follows within one spin pays more than the last.

Each number on this board was chalked up only once that game’s own code had been run for 5,000,000 spins. They describe smokehouse coin play alone and offer no clue about any real-money game.
Yes. Tenterhook Tiers turns for whoever wanders in, further down here or on the smokehouse page itself, and nobody is asked to register. Saltcran Quay and Cutchsail Drift need a free account.
Nothing. There is no shop on the quay, no coin bundle in the smokehouse and no payment page out on the drift, and Tarquil has never once asked for a card.
No. A harbour coin does one job, turning reels: it cannot be bought, cashed, swapped or carried off the quay, and Kipperfire Harbour awards nothing with worth in the real world.
Yes. Tarquil starts each fresh slate at 100,000 coins and then tips your smokehouse pile from Tenterhook Tiers on top.
No. The smokehouse, the quay and the drift all load inside this website itself; Tarquil has never packed the harbour into an app.
UK residents aged 18 and up. The open smokehouse follows the same rule, and Tarquil chalks no slate before your age is confirmed.
The quay is closed to anyone under 18. Every harbour coin is virtual and worth nothing in money; no coin may be bought or sold, and none can be withdrawn or swapped through any exchange. Search every smokehouse and you will turn up no coin counter and no till, and no prize with real-world value hangs from the rafters. A lucky tide on these reels does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
