Dulse, the stocky grey dock cat in the mustard sweater, keeps three worlds around the cove: a stagehead lost in sunrise fog where the dory waits below the planks, a cooperage of brine barrels on the wharf, and kite day up on the lighthouse headland when a gust takes everybody's picnic. Foglift Stagehead is moored right on this page, its tin pail already heaped with free play coins.

Cove coins are make-believe catch that no shed sells and no clerk ever weighs out for cash, and the wharf welcomes adults 19 or over.
Pretend catch only · 19+ · no till on the wharf, no prize on the hook · a free account unlocks the cooperage and the headland
Foglift Stagehead runs the moment the page loads, on play coins Dulse has already counted into the pail, with no form anywhere on the wharf.
Pencil a cove nickname, your email address and a secret password into the book, say you are at least 19, and a pail of 100,000 coins comes down the plank to you straight away.
The stagehead takings ride along into your new account, and that one pail of coins spends among the barrels and up on the headland too.
Each machine in the cove was put through millions of trial spins before the cannery doors opened, and this sheet prints what it actually returned.

Dulse tallied every number here by letting each game’s own code run 5,000,000 spins. They speak for play coins in the cove alone, and say nothing about any real-money game.

The cove is for a slow morning by the water, and no coin of it buys so much as a herring past the cannery gate. Set the pail down at any point; if a nudge from Dulse would help, a session reminder will come and meow at your elbow. ConnexOntario is free and confidential on 1-866-531-2600, any time of day.
Our responsible play tools
Brinehouse Hoops and Headwind Picnic wait past the cannery gate for card holders: give Dulse a nickname, an email and a password of your own. Every new card starts on 100,000 coins, and the cat tips in whatever the stagehead pail held as well.

Inside the cooperage one salt-crusted window lets in a pale slant of light over rows of banded oak barrels, iron hoops hung on the plank wall and an open door looking across the water to the red cannery sheds. It is the quietest corner of the cove: a paid spin that misses keeps its brands and turns the rest again.

On the one clear kite day of the summer, a gust comes off the sea and lifts the whole picnic over the headland: a pink gingham cloth, a straw hat, a lemonade jar and a wicker hamper sail past a giant blue whale kite, with the red-and-white lighthouse standing on the cliff below. Winning lines blow away and each new drop pays more.

Zero dollars. There is no coin shed, no top-up counter and no checkout on the wharf, and no one in Saltbox Cove will ask you for card details, not once.
No. Cove coins never get past the breakwater: nobody sells them, no counter cashes them in, and they can be swapped for nothing of real-world value.
Yes. A new cove card opens on 100,000 coins, and Dulse empties the stagehead pail on top of that pile.
No. Saltbox Cove opens at an ordinary web address in the browser your phone, tablet or laptop already has, and there is nothing to add to the device.
Adults in Canada who have reached 19, wherever along the coast or inland they live. The open stagehead keeps that rule too, and the tally book asks you to vouch for your age before it issues a cove card.
Only adults of 19 or over belong on Saltbox Cove’s planks. The coins in Dulse’s pail are virtual, hold no monetary value at all, and no one can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange them. You will find no coin counter and no payment page from the stagehead to the lighthouse, no prize of real-world value is put up, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
