Not a cent is staked in this town. Habits still take root, so this is how Merle tends to them.
If gambling is harming you at the moment, phone ConnexOntario for free on 1-866-531-2600, day or night, or start an online chat with Responsible Gambling Council.
Social casino games share the sights, sounds and pacing of real gambling. Prairie Bushel is only for adults above the legal gambling age and is never directed at anyone under 19. Age gets confirmed twice: on the banner you see when you arrive, and with a tick you must place when the account is made.
Free games are able to seem generous, and this one refills your bin at no cost. Games played for real money do neither. A good run here is no guide to how you would get on with money at stake.

The town gates at Prairie Bushel open for adults aged 19 or over. Its coins are virtual and hold no monetary value; they can never be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged.
