Your guest pass is written out

What two ticks get you

• Nothing to fill in. The first box is the age one: 18 or over, resident in the United Kingdom. Accepting the terms is the second, and that is the pair of them. That is the whole of it — no name is wanted, no email address, no password, and there is no card field anywhere in the building to go looking for.
• The whole bench. Goldleaf Burnish runs at full size on a pass: every reel strip, the full paytable and the Burnishing Run, with nothing trimmed back for visitors.
• Two hours on the clock. When the clock runs out the pass folds itself shut, and it will do the same sooner if you press “End the visit” yourself. Writing out another takes the same two boxes, as often as you care to come back.
• Coins that travel. Whatever the guest purse still holds is tipped into a free account you open from the same browser, and 100,000 welcome coins are laid on top of it.

Why a free pass still asks two questions

Gold tooling and marbled endpapers notwithstanding, a reel strip is a reel strip: it spins, it chimes, it pays in the same rhythm a real machine does. That rhythm is what makes the bindery an adults-only workshop. The two boxes are the whole gate — no identity document, no address, no credit check — and the same plain question is put again if you later sign the register.

Guest coins are make-believe. They hold no monetary value, cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged, and they buy nothing at all beyond these three rooms.
