Keep it a game

Free, and still 19+

A machine here looks, sounds and paces itself exactly like the paid kind, because that is what it was modelled on. That resemblance is the reason Aurora Mile is meant for adults at or above the legal gambling age, and is not aimed at anyone under 19. You are asked twice: on the strip across the top of the page, and again as a box you tick when you open an account.

Things this site will not do

• Run, advertise or recommend gambling for money.
• Hand out anything that is worth something off the site.
• Put coins on sale, in any form.
• Carry a link to a bookmaker, a casino or an affiliate.
• Run a clock or a streak designed to drag you back tomorrow.

One thing worth saying plainly

A free machine can be set to feel warmer than a paid one, and when the tank empties we fill it again for nothing. Neither of those is true where money is involved. A good run along this road predicts nothing at all about a machine that takes cash.

Worth catching early

• You meant to pull over an hour ago.
• Stopping leaves you short-tempered.
• You come out here to get away from something.
• Sleep, work or the people around you are losing out.
• You have started wondering where the paid version of this is.

Keeping hold of it

• Put a limit on the clock before the first spin, not after.
• Leave the auto button alone.
• Pull over now and then.
• Clearing this site's data wipes the slate; if you want out for good, block the site in your device settings.
