Keep it a game, rain or shine

No money is at stake in the hollow. Habits are a different forecast, so here is how we handle them.

If gambling is hurting you today, ConnexOntario takes free calls on 1-866-531-2600, 24 hours a day, and the Responsible Gambling Council offers an online chat.

Why a free hollow is 19+

Social casino games copy the look, the sound and the tempo of real gambling. Almanac Hollow is meant only for adults over the legal gambling age and is not directed at anyone under 19. Age is checked twice: on the banner that meets you, and again with a tick you must give when your account is created.

Entries Abner will never write

  • Offering or promoting real-money gambling in the hollow.
  • Prizes with any value outside the hollow.
  • Coin sales or in-app purchases of any sort.
  • Links that send you to gambling operators or their affiliates.
  • Countdowns or streaks rigged to call you back to the porch.

A plain warning, plainly logged

A free game can be set to feel generous, and it tops up your jar at no cost. Real-money games do neither. A sunny run in the hollow forecasts nothing about how you would do with money at stake.

Warning signs to read on your own barometer

  • Playing well past the time you set.
  • Turning thundery once the reels stop.
  • Spinning to get out from under a grey mood.
  • Losing sleep, work time or evenings with people to the reels.
  • Searching the county for a real-money version of the reels.

Staying in charge of the weather

  • Before the first hailstone falls, settle on how long you will play.
  • Keep autoplay off; turn the reels yourself.
  • Take breaks at regular intervals, as Abner does between readings.
  • Clear this site’s data to reset everything, or block the site in your device settings if you want a permanent stop.

Forecast for the hollow: a free social casino, with no real-money gambling anywhere in sight.

Almanac Hollow keeps its porch for grown-ups aged 19 or over. The reels run on virtual coins of no monetary value, coins nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange. Look under every floorboard and there is still no coin shop and no page for payments; nobody is ever handed a prize of real-world value; and a lucky streak in the hollow does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
