Practical answers about games, coins and limits
This page covers the operating details that matter: what runs in the browser, what the virtual balance means and what the site does not provide.
Four browser games, no account, no purchase path, no real-world value and a strict 20+ limit.
Playing the games
Which games are available?
Temple Step is Hi-Lo, Canopy Wheel is a segmented prize wheel, Ponga Pick is keno, and Firefly Wheel is single-zero European roulette.
Do games need JavaScript?
Yes. Rules, policies and navigation remain in the served HTML, but interactive rounds and local coin storage require JavaScript.
Are outcomes changed for repeat visitors?
No. The game rules are the same for direct visits, ad parameters, referrals, devices, cookies and previous sessions.
Virtual coins and value
How many coins do I start with?
The first balance is 10,000. A free 1,000-coin top-up is available on a new local day, and every game includes an immediate reset to 10,000.
Can coins be bought, transferred or withdrawn?
No. The site has no purchases, shop, transfer, redemption or cash-out system.
Can a game result earn a prize?
No. A return only changes the worthless local coin counter.
Site status and age
Is this a licensed casino?
No. Tussock Arcade is independent entertainment software, not a gambling operator or affiliate. It does not claim licensing or regulatory approval.
Why is the age limit 20+?
The site is restricted to adults over New Zealand’s legal casino gambling age and uses 20+ consistently for social casino access.
Breaks and support
Can free games still feel absorbing?
Yes. Familiar sounds, choices and repeated rounds can hold attention even without money. Set a time boundary and leave the screen when the session ends.
Where can I find help?
The responsible-play page lists Gambling Helpline Aotearoa, Māori and Pasifika lines, Asian Family Services, Safer Gambling Aotearoa and 1737.
