Tenterhook Tiers

Split herring hang tier above tier over smouldering oak inside the tallest black smokehouse on the harbour. Every passer-by may spin it, and its free round burns hotter the higher the smoke climbs.

About this world

Tenterhook Tiers

Tenterhook Tiers is the smokehouse Tarquil leaves open for all comers, so its reels are already warm by the time you look. In temper it sits halfway along the harbour: small returns drift up like smoke between the rods, while the stronger heat waits in the bonus. A Cormorant Crest fills any gap on a line bar the Oak Ember. Three embers anywhere light Loft by Loft and its ten free spins, the boost stepping up rod by rod through the first four and then holding fast at four times. A fourth ember hangs fifteen spins in the loft, a fifth hangs twenty-two, and embers that fall mid-round add more.

Loft by Loft. Inside the free round spins 1 and 2 pay x2, spins 3 and 4 pay x3, and spin 5 onwards pays x4 until the last one; the boost never falls.

The honest part

Harbour coins, and nothing else

The only stake on these reels is a free virtual coin. No real money is gambled, no win is worth anything off the quay, and there is nothing to purchase in-app. A random number generator settles every result, and no spin is swayed by those before it.

Measured by running this page's own engine for 10,000,000 spins: coin RTP 95.4%, hit frequency 37.1%, free spins about once in 140 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 125 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.

How to play

Tenterhook Tiers in three steps

1

Turn up at the smokehouse and a rod of play coins is already hanging by the hatch for you. Nobody takes your name before the first spin.

2

Choose a stake and spin. A Cormorant Crest plugs any hole on a line, though it never touches the Oak Ember.

3

Three Oak Embers light Loft by Loft: ten free spins that climb the rods at x2, x2, x3, x3 and then hang at x4 until the fire dies down.

Who it suits

First-timers testing the harbour before they take a line on the slate, and anyone fond of a middling pace whose bonus heats up as the smoke rises.

What to expect

Paid spins hand back plenty of little sums. The richest boosts hang in the upper tiers of Loft by Loft, so the warmest smokehouse moments usually come late in the round.

Questions

About Tenterhook Tiers

No. The smokehouse turns for anyone standing at its hatch; only the barrel quay and the night drift ask for a free account.

Tarquil brings the whole pile with you and stacks it on the 100,000 coins he chalks for every newcomer.

Yes. Three or more embers inside the round lengthen it, and the boost keeps climbing from the tier it had already reached.

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.

Cutchsail Drift

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.

Kippers and play coins only: not a penny of real-money gambling on this quay

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.
