CRANBERRY WORKSHOP / HOW IT WORKS
A few things before you turn the handle
Bram built three little machines for evenings when the workshop is quiet. They use made-up coins and have no connection to money.
Begin without a key
Cranberry Lantern is open on the homepage. Your browser begins with 100,000 play coins. Choose a play-coin bet and press Spin. One paid cycle deducts that fictional amount once; the game then adds all returns from its base window and any feature rounds.
Three mechanisms
Lantern firefly jars start five free rounds with multipliers 2, 2, 3, 3 and 4. There are no retriggers. At the locks, wild lilies stay for the next respin; a fresh lily gives one more, with a maximum of 15 respins. At the mill, matching symbols disappear and the remaining ones drop, up to 12 cascades.
Each window has five reels, three rows and 20 fixed lines. Matching groups start at the left. Wilds stand in for the five ordinary symbols. Three scatter symbols in the base window trigger the lantern feature, or return 0.5 × the play-coin bet before the world’s scale in the other two worlds. Rules & pays gives exact values.
A single shelf for your coins
A free account opens Willow Locks and Reedfall Mill. Registration copies your guest balance once. Signing into an existing account loads its saved balance instead of adding guest coins. Account snapshots are saved to this host; the local game simulation is intentionally not a financial ledger.
A fresh start is always free
If you have fewer coins than the minimum 20-coin bet, the machine offers a fresh 100,000-coin balance. It never opens a shop. Play coins cannot be purchased, sent to another person or redeemed.
