The desk that counts
The Coin Desk
One figure runs the whole gazette: your credit balance. It's free, shared across both games, and worth exactly nothing in the real world. Here's how the desk keeps the books.
1,000 to start
Confirm you're 18+ and your visit opens with 1,000 free credits. No form, no card, no wait.
Free top-ups
Below 100, a top-up restores you to 1,000; otherwise it adds 500. It's always free.
No value
Credits can't be bought, cashed out, traded or redeemed. They only run the games.
Where the balance lives
Your balance sits in your browser's session storage under one key and follows you across the gazette during a visit — Reel Press and Hollow Blackjack read the same figure. Close the tab and it resets to 1,000 next time. Nothing is filed against your name, because there's no account to attach it to.
Why there's no real money
Silver Hollow Way is a social casino, so the point is the play, not a payout. Credits carry no value, which means there's no deposit, no withdrawal and no prize. That's the design, not a clause added later — remove the money and what's left is the part worth reading.
How credits move
In Reel Press, each pull deducts your stake and a matched centre line pays by symbol. In Hollow Blackjack, your chip rides on the hand: a win pays even money, blackjack pays three to two, and a push returns your chip. All virtual, all for fun.
