Four wings, seven chambers

The chambers

Every game in the keep is our own, built for this site and played for glints. They are grouped in wings by how they play: reels, gems, cards and dice. Pick by mood, not by luck; none of them is "hot", "due" or kinder at certain hours.

Side by side

Chamber	Wing	What you decide	A round takes	Swing
Lava Rise	Reels	Only the stake	3 seconds, 10 with eruption spins	High
Ash & Ore	Reels	Only the stake	2 seconds	Low to medium
Hearth Swap	Gems	Which two gems to swap, if any	As long as you look	Low
Ember Steps	Cards	Every card you play	Two to four minutes	Medium
Sevenfold	Cards	How to split seven cards	About 20 seconds	Low
Close the Gates	Dice	Which gates to close	About a minute	Medium
Stoke	Dice	The heat, before the round	3 to 6 seconds	High

Swing describes how far one round can move from the stake, up or down. It says nothing about where a session ends: over many rounds every chamber hands back slightly less than goes in.

Reel wing

Two reel games, each with one idea of its own.

Lava Rise

Twenty lines on four rows. Three calderas send a wild row of lava up the reels, one row a spin, for four eruption spins.

Ash & Ore

Ten lines and nine treasures. A line pays for the same object, or as a full line of one metal or one shape.

Gem wing

A board of gems and one swap.

Hearth Swap

Twenty-five gems, one swap of two neighbours, then every straight run of three or more in a row or column pays.

Card wing

Patience and a split hand.

Ember Steps

Play table cards onto the pile one rank up or down. The fewer you leave on the table, the more comes back.

Sevenfold

Split seven cards into a hand of five and a hand of two. Both must beat the house; one each is a push.

Dice wing

Gates to close and a fire to stoke.

Close the Gates

Nine gates and two dice. Close gates that add up to each throw until none fit; fewer pips open pays more.

Stoke

Choose a heat, then one die is thrown until the fire reaches it or a one puts it out.

How every chamber works

Each chamber takes a stake from 5 to 200 glints when a round starts and settles it when the round ends. The verdict under the game says what came back against what you put in, in plain numbers, and the brazier beside it keeps a running total for this visit: time, rounds, glints staked, glints back and the change.

There is no autoplay anywhere in the keep, no turbo button and no bonus that can be bought. The only rounds that play themselves are Lava Rise's eruption spins, which belong to the paid spin that started them. Pay tables are printed on every chamber page from the same file the game reads.
