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.

Headwind Picnic is the wildest weather in the cove. Every winning line is carried off by the wind, the pictures above settle lower and new picnic things come flying in off the sea breeze, letting one spin tumble on while its multiplier works up to x5. The corked note bottle and the blue whale kite hold the bulk of the value, so expect calm patches between the big gusts. The Pink Gingham Bow wild stands in for everything but the Kite-Top Vane. Three vanes anywhere set off ten free spins, every win doubled ahead of its chain step; four vanes give fifteen and five give twenty-five.
Headland Gust. Winning picnic pictures are blown away, those higher up settle into the gaps and fresh pictures drop in; the gust counts x1 on the spin, x2 on refill one, x3 on refill two and x5 on any refill beyond. Kite-Top Vanes never blow away.
Each spin at this shed runs on free virtual coins. No real-money gambling takes place, no win has real-world value, and there are no in-app purchases. A random number generator decides each result, and no past spin ever sways the next.
Measured by running this page's own engine for 10,000,000 spins: coin RTP 92.9%, hit frequency 33.8%, free spins about once in 135 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 86 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Sign in, climb the path to Lighthouse Hill and set a stake.
Spin. Each win is blown off the grid and the gaps refill from above; the opening spin counts x1, refill one x2, refill two x3 and every later refill x5.
Three Kite-Top Vanes launch ten free spins, doubling every win before the chain step applies; four vanes mean fifteen, five mean twenty-five.
Players happy to sit out a calm stretch on the blanket for the gust that keeps refilling the grid again and again.
The biggest swings in the cove. The note bottle and the whale kite carry much of the value, so lively spins arrive in bunches with long, still spells between them.

The five card ranks (10 to A) pay the least. Three Kite-Top Vanes anywhere open the free round. Full values for three and four of a kind are in the paytable.
No. The vane stays put while the winning pictures around it are swept away.
Yes. In the free round a win doubles before anything else, and its chain step then multiplies the doubled sum.
The picnic swings hard by design: the bottle and the whale kite turn up seldom but carry most of the pay, and no spin stores anything for the one after.
The chores are fresh each morning, count in all three worlds, and you can ignore them entirely.
The stagehead planks run out into sunrise fog so thick the cannery behind them turns to a grey outline, iced crates sweating on the boards and a dory tied below while gulls wheel over flat pewter water. Nobody needs a card to step out here, and a near miss with two glass balls hands the last reel one more turn.
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.
