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.
Showbench Swell is the show tent on Saturday morning, when every marrow on the trestles is still in with a shout. Bryony leaves the flaps tied back, so nobody signs anything before the first spin. The pace sits in the middle: Saucer Tomatoes and Sand-Ring Onions bring the small pays, while the Pompom Dahlia and the Champion Marrow hold the heavier ones. The Tape-Wrapped Marrow stands in for any picture except the Brass Callipers. Three callipers anywhere unroll ten free spins, doubling twice, trebling twice and quadrupling for the rest; four sets unreel fifteen and five unreel twenty-two, and late callipers let out more tape.
Tape-Round Swell. The first pair of free spins double every win, the next pair treble it, and from the fifth spin to the last every win is quadrupled; Bryony's tape never measures a smaller number inside the round.
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 93.3%, hit frequency 36.0%, free spins about once in 130 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 139 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Duck under the striped canvas and you are already at the trestles, with Bryony's apron pocket of play coins waiting beside the biggest marrow. No sign-up form and no download stand between you and the first spin.
Pick a stake and spin. A Tape-Wrapped Marrow fills any gap in a line, though it will never stand in for the Brass Callipers.
Three pairs of Brass Callipers open the Tape-Round Swell: ten free spins measured out on Bryony's tape: x2 on the opening brace of spins, x3 on the next brace and x4 on all the rest.
Newcomers wanting a nose round the reels before claiming a plot, and steady-handed players who enjoy watching a bonus fatten up a notch at a time, like a marrow on a fine week.
Ordinary spins turn up small pays at a steady clip. Because the multiplier peaks late, the tent saves its biggest moments for the closing spins of a free round.

The five card ranks (10 to A) pay the least. Three Brass Calliperss anywhere open the free round. Full values for three and four of a kind are in the paytable.
No. The show tent spins for everyone right here; only the sweet pea canes and the far plots ask for a free account.
Bryony carries them over in her apron and adds them to the 100,000 chalked on your new plot board.
Yes. Fresh callipers lengthen the round, and the tape keeps its place: once the swell has climbed to x3 or x4 it stays at that mark.
Missions start again each day and count on every plot. Doing them is entirely up to you.
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.
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.
Play for enjoyment, and stop once the enjoyment has gone. Decide on a time limit before you begin and take regular breaks from the plots. Should gambling of whatever kind be giving you problems, you can talk to the National Gambling Helpline free and in confidence on 0808 8020 133, at whatever hour, or look to GamCare and BeGambleAware. Bryony’s fuller advice is in our responsible play policy.
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.
