A summer cloudburst over the far plots: rain drumming on a tarred shed roof, the gutter overflowing and the water butt brimming over. Each winning line is rinsed off the reels so fresh pictures can tumble into the gaps, and every extra splash in a run pays more than the one before.
The games cost nothing today and will cost nothing in future. Your account looks after your 100,000 coins, favourites, level and daily missions in the shed from one visit to the next — and it lets the committee confirm you are 18 or over before your first spin.
Only virtual coins are used. You will find no real-money gambling, no prizes of real-world value and no in-app purchases. Adults 18+.
Plot Nine Downpour is the far end of the allotment when the sky opens on show weekend and everyone dives into the sheds. It is the stormiest corner: Striped Gooseberries and Chitting Spuds pay modestly, while the Tarred Shed and the Brimming Water Butt keep the heaviest pays. The Downpipe Roundel replaces any picture but the Carrot Vane. Each win gurgles down the gutter, new pictures plop in, and a long downpour climbs from single pay through x2 and x3 to x5 a splash. Three vanes anywhere bring a ten-spin bonus at double pay, four vanes fifteen spins and five vanes twenty-five, the run-off multiplying on top.
Downpipe Run-Off. Pictures in a winning line are washed off, everything above slips down and new pictures drop in from the top; the opening splash is paid as it stands, the second doubled, the third trebled and every later one multiplied by five, rain or shine, bonus round or not, while Carrot Vanes stay perched where they are.
All play here uses free virtual coins. No gambling for real money takes place, wins hold no real-world value, and you cannot make in-app purchases. A random number generator sets each outcome; what happened on earlier spins never alters the next.
Measured by running this page's own engine for 10,000,000 spins: coin RTP 97.0%, hit frequency 32.5%, free spins about once in 136 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 75 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Sign in, hurry down to the far plots as the clouds roll over and set a stake under the eaves of the tarred shed.
Spin. Downpipe Roundels copy any picture except the Carrot Vane, and each winning line washes away so new pictures can fall into the gaps for a bigger run-off.
Three Carrot Vanes swinging anywhere at once bring on a ten-spin bonus with doubled wins; four vanes mean fifteen spins and five vanes twenty-five, and the run-off multiplier piles on top.
Bolder players who are happy with long dry spells broken by a sudden chain of wins, and anyone who enjoys a proper summer storm.
The most changeable weather on the allotment. Many spins pass quietly, then one win can set off splash after splash, each one paying more than the last.

The five card ranks (10 to A) pay the least. Three Carrot Vanes anywhere open the free round. Full values for three and four of a kind are in the paytable.
The opening win pays at face value, the second splash at x2, the third at x3, and from the fourth splash on each one pays x5, until the gutter runs dry.
No. Vanes stay on the reels while line pictures wash away, so they still count towards free spins.
Yes. Splashes chain on ordinary spins and during the bonus, where they multiply on top of the doubled pay.
Missions start again each day and count on every plot. Doing them is entirely up to you.
The striped show tent on show weekend, its trestles bowing under marrows the size of sleeping piglets and leeks laid out like polished organ pipes. Anybody may spin it from this very page, and once its bonus begins the multiplier keeps swelling, from a double up to a quadruple, and never shrinks back.
Rows of bamboo canes tied at the top, sweet peas scrambling up them in pink, mauve and cream while Bryony snips a posy for the show bench. Should a paid spin bring home nothing at all, each Tendril Knot curls tight round its cane and the remaining cells take a single spin on the house.

The plots at Giant Marrow Plots are for grown-ups of 18 or over. The plots run on make-believe coins of no monetary value, which nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange. You will not find a coin stall or a till anywhere on the allotment, the show bench awards nothing with real-world value, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.

The coin tin is shared by all three plots. Sign up for nothing and every gate on the allotment opens, while Bryony stores your coins and favourites, your level and your daily missions in the potting shed until you call again.
