Everything you need to know about Fern Spin Arcade, our free games, and how it all works.
Fern Spin Arcade is a free-to-play social casino entertainment platform inspired by the beauty of Aotearoa's native bush. We offer five unique games — including slots, wheel spins, memory matching, scratch-reveal, and arcade games — all themed around New Zealand's native flora and fauna. Our platform is designed purely for entertainment, using fun points instead of real money.
Yes, absolutely. Every game on Fern Spin Arcade is 100% free to play. There are no hidden fees, no in-app purchases, no premium tiers, and no paywalls. We do not accept deposits or process any financial transactions. Our games use virtual fun points for entertainment tracking only — these have no real-world monetary value whatsoever.

Fun points are virtual tokens used within our games to track your entertainment experience. They serve as a scoring mechanism to make gameplay more engaging. Fun points have absolutely no real-world monetary value — they cannot be exchanged, redeemed, sold, or converted into cash, prizes, gift cards, or anything of tangible value. They exist solely for entertainment tracking.
No. Fun points and play credits are purely virtual and have no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for cash, merchandise, gift vouchers, or any other item of value. Fern Spin Arcade is an entertainment-only platform — there are no real money winnings or prize redemptions of any kind.
We currently offer five unique games, each inspired by New Zealand's native bush:

Koru Wheel — A fortune wheel game with fern-themed segments and fun point rewards. Ponga Pairs — A memory card-matching game featuring pairs of native birds and plants. Rimu Reveal — A scratch-reveal game where you tap forest items to uncover hidden fun points. Bush Trail — An arcade-style game where you catch falling native fruits while avoiding obstacles.

Fern Spin Arcade was created by a team of proud Kiwis who wanted to celebrate Aotearoa's stunning native bush through interactive entertainment. The silver fern, native birds like the tui and kea, the koru symbol, and the deep green canopy of the bush are all central to New Zealand's identity. We wanted to create a platform that feels distinctly Kiwi — from the visuals to the game themes — while providing engaging, wholesome entertainment.
