A secret bookcase swings back on a wooden spiral stair that winds up through towering shelves of leather books, a candle burning on every landing. Anyone may climb it unregistered, and every landing of the free round lifts the multiplier.
Woodruff leaves Wickstair Library open for every visitor, its bookcase ajar as the page loads. The climb keeps a middling pace: landing candles, burgundy-tied scrolls and gilt-cornered folios turn up the frequent little returns, while the Emerald Sand Timer and the Ribbon-Marked Atlas keep the weightier ones. The Monocled Raven Seal stamps itself in for any picture bar the Emerald Lever. Pull three levers anywhere and Candle by Candle lights ten free spins, glowing at x2, x2, x3 and x3 before it steadies at x4. Four levers stretch the stair to fifteen landings and five levers to twenty-two, and levers pulled on the way up add landings.
Candle by Candle. Landings one and two of the free round light wins at x2, landings three and four at x3, and from landing five until the last candle each win burns at x4; the flame only ever grows.
Nothing turns these reels but free virtual coins. Not one spin is real-money gambling, not one win leaves the stillroom with real-world value, and no shelf holds an in-app shop. A random number generator settles each result, and every spin begins clean, owing nothing to the spin before.
Measured by running this page's own engine for 10,000,000 spins: coin RTP 93.2%, hit frequency 33.0%, free spins about once in 111 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 138 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Open the page and the hidden bookcase is already standing ajar, with play coins weighed out on the brass scale. Woodruff never asks who you are before you climb.
Choose a stake and spin. A Monocled Raven Seal completes any line with whichever picture it needs, though it will never pose as the Emerald Lever.
Three Emerald Levers open Candle by Candle: ten free spins lit at x2 twice and x3 twice, then held at x4 until the last candle on the stair.
Newcomers who would like a few turns on the book stair before a jar is labelled for them, and anybody happy with a medium tread and a bonus that glows brighter landing by landing.
Little returns land at a fair clip on paid spins. The fiercest candles burn in the upper turns of Candle by Candle, so the liveliest moments on the stair tend to come late in the round.

Fresh missions are pinned up each day and count in any world. Skip them if you like.
When Woodruff flies home at sunrise, first light slides along wooden shelves of celadon bowls and jars, and one big round moon jar shines at their centre. The gentlest world in the house: an empty paid spin leaves its ladle wilds wet on the reels and turns the rest once more, free.
A stone stair winds up the inside of the tower past glowing star charts to the garret, where a huge brass orrery turns slowly under an open roof of stars. Winning symbols drop out of the sky here, and every follow-up fall from the same spin outweighs the one before.
Spin while it pleases you, and cork the jar when it stops. Settle a time limit before the first spin and leave the counter now and then.
