The story
Fiction and adapted settings written by Akitsora Gaming for this title, including invented dialogue and events. This is not a historical or folklore reference. The rules and specification tables define the gameplay and math.
June in the moss garden, where gentle rain falls day after day.
The bamboo rocker fills to the brim and tips with a hollow clack.
I. Hydrangeas in the June Garden
When the plum rains of June arrive, temple gardens across Japan turn lush, misty, and quiet under the grey sky. Three white teru-teru paper dolls sway beneath the wooden eaves, a small snail climbs the wet granite lantern, and clusters of hydrangeas bloom in soft shades of blue, violet, pink, and snow white.
Before every spin begins, a small weather notice at the top of the screen displays the exact Chance of rain and the bamboo forecast for that turn. That number is no mere decoration — it is the true mathematical probability that raindrops will fall across the reels on that spin.
II. Raindrops Filling the Bamboo Pipe
Mounted above each of the five reels is a pivoted green bamboo tube known as a shishi-odoshi. Whenever the forecast brings rain, clear drops trickle down into each tube; the moment a bamboo pipe fills to the brim, its weight tips it forward, spilling the water and striking the stone rest with a crisp clack.
As the bamboo tips over, a shimmering water curtain pours down to cover that entire reel from top to bottom. Like the Rainbow on the inner reels, the full-reel water curtain acts as a wild symbol, connecting blooming hydrangeas, green tree frogs, and copper rain chains across the board.
III. The Long Rain and Shining Curtains
Landing enough wooden Rainy-season tag scatters anywhere on the screen ushers the garden into Long Rain. Throughout these free spins the chance of rain remains high on every turn, and the water collected inside each bamboo pipe stays from spin to spin instead of emptying between turns, building steadily toward the next tip.
Better still, as one bamboo rocker after another tips over during Long Rain, the resulting water curtains carry escalating multipliers across the board from left to right. Whenever a winning way passes through multiple multiplied curtains on the same spin, their values multiply together in a cascading downpour.
IV. Clear Skies and the Rainbow After Rain
On the final spin of the feature comes Clear skies, marking the long-awaited end of the rainy season. The clouds part, sunlight floods the mossy stones, and whichever colour of hydrangea appears most often on the stopped reels transforms into the top-paying rain chain symbol before the final ways are counted.
A bright seven-coloured Rainbow arches over the freshly washed garden as the round concludes and the paper dolls sway gently in the warm sun. That sunlit finale is the game's seasonal theme, not a promise: every spin's outcome is still decided independently by the RGS random number generator.
