How Updraft flies

  1. Pick a stake of 10, 25, 50, 100 or 250 lift and press Launch. The stake is split evenly over 20 fixed lines, so each line stake is the stake divided by 20.
  2. A line pays when three, four or five matching pictures sit on it, starting from the leftmost reel and reading to the right. Only the longest match on a line counts, and lines add up.
  3. The gust is wild on reels 2, 3 and 4. It stands in for any kite or kit picture, but never for the windsock.
  4. On some spins one or two cloud banks, two or three squares wide, roll over the reels. Every cloud bank on that spin opens to the same picture before the lines are read.
  5. Three, four or five windsocks anywhere return 2, 10 or 50 times the stake and start 6, 8 or 10 thermal spins at the same stake. In thermal spins a cloud bank lands on every spin and gusts turn up more often. Thermal spins never start more thermal spins.

What comes back

Per line, as a multiple of the line stake (stake ÷ 20)

Example: at a stake of 100 lift each line stake is 5, so five rokkaku kites on one line bring 5 × 290 = 1,450 lift back.

Good to know

Cloud banks and windsocks land at random on every spin. Nothing on the reels warms up, saves up or comes due, so a long run of still air says nothing about the next spin.

Lift is a play unit with no cash value. It cannot be bought, swapped or turned into anything. If the lift runs low, Relaunch tops it up to 2,500 for free, with no wait. Results here say nothing about how you would do at real-money gambling, and they are not a reason to try it.

Want a break? The Pause key in the header closes the six kites on this device for as long as you choose. Safe Landing has check-ins, a round cap and calm mode.
