A winding path between towering golden cornstalks opens onto a sunny clearing where a little red tractor waits by a hay bale and a scarecrow waves its straw arm. The maze is open to every rider at once, and a paid spin that finds no win lets its wilds hold their ground for one free retry.
Tasseltop Maze is the first stop on Burdock's hayride and the only one open to everybody. It is the gentlest of the three: butter-gold cobs, twine-hooped bales and wrong-turn arrows hand back small wins often, while the maze-edge tractor and the patched scarecrow carry the larger pays. The Stalk Cross Knot wild can be any picture apart from the Meet-Up Bell. When a paid spin finds nothing, the knots stay put while every other square of the maze turns again for free. Three Meet-Up Bells anywhere call ten free spins; a fourth bell stretches the round to fifteen and a fifth bell to twenty-five, and bells clanging mid-round add more.
Double Back. When a paid spin pays nothing, every Stalk Cross Knot showing holds its square and every other square respins once, free.
Make-believe coins, free ones, are all this stop runs on. Real-money gambling plays no part, wins are worth nothing off the farm, and the app sells nothing. A random number generator decides every result; no spin leans on the one before.
Measured by running this page's own engine for 10,000,000 spins: coin RTP 95.0%, hit frequency 43.2%, free spins about once in 114 spins, a win of 10x your stake or more about once in 112 spins. Coin figures only — no money is staked or returned.
Open the page and Tasseltop Maze is already loaded with play coins from Burdock's straw. There is no form at the maze entrance and nothing to download.
Choose a stake and spin. The Stalk Cross Knot copies any picture on a payline apart from the Meet-Up Bell.
Three Meet-Up Bells anywhere open ten free spins, and after any empty paid spin Double Back holds the knots while the rest of the maze turns again.
Riders who want to try the hollow before giving Burdock a name, and anyone who likes a calm, forgiving pace with a second look after a miss.
The gentlest balance on the farm: small returns arrive often, and an empty paid spin can still come good when the held knots meet a fresh turn.

No. Anyone can walk into the maze straight away; the hive row and the lakeshore sit behind a free account.
Yes. Burdock scoops them up and drops them on the 100,000-coin pile your seat opens with.
No. Double Back belongs to paid spins that come up empty; free spins play without it.
Missions start fresh each day, count at every stop, and you can ignore them.
Hand-painted hives in sky blue, buttercup yellow and rose stand knee-deep in clover beneath a clear morning sky, one gilded hive wearing a tiny crown at the far end. The free round hums louder with every spin, its multiplier climbing and never slipping back.
At the low end of the hollow, rows of purple lavender run down to a calm lake edged with giant sunflowers as the sun goes down, a wooden rowboat beached on the sand and one huge bloom turned toward the light. The boldest stop on the loop, where each win falls away and new pictures drop in.
Ride for fun, and climb down once it stops being fun. Choose your time limit before the first spin, and step off now and then. Whenever gambling of any sort is causing you problems, ConnexOntario is free and confidential on 1-866-531-2600, day or night, and the Responsible Gambling Council and CCSA are there too.

Riders at Hayride Hollow must be adults, 19 or older. The wagon’s reels run on make-believe coins with no monetary value, coins Burdock will never let anyone buy, sell, withdraw or swap. Search every barn, crib and cider shed and you will turn up no coin shop and no payment page; Burdock hands down no prize of real-world value from the tailgate, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.

Maze, hives and lakeshore are all fed from one sack. A free account unlatches every stop, and Burdock tucks your coins, favourites, level and daily missions into his cheek pouches until you ride again.
