    "theme": "Christmas / Santa's workshop and reindeer stable. A snowy village at dusk-to-day: pine trees dusted with snow, gingerbread-trim cottages with lit windows, and a frozen ice-rink in the foreground. Cast of holiday characters: Santa Claus, a green boy elf with goggles, a blue winter-elf woman, a snowman, and a golden-antlered reindeer as the game's hero symbol. Jackpot ladder (Mini/Minor/Major/Mega) is styled as four coloured reindeer-head badges.",
    "art_style": "Semi-realistic painted 2D digital illustration, not a flat vector cartoon and not a 3D render: symbol portraits are softly cel-painted with glossy highlights, warm rim-light and believable shading (fur texture on the reindeer, soft skin shading on Santa/elves), set inside ornate gold-and-dark-wood carved frames reminiscent of a mantelpiece. Base game plays out in bright, slightly hazy daylight over the snowy village; free-spins/win/splash screens switch to a deep-blue-to-red night gradient with warm string-lights and softly falling snow particles. Symbols and the reel frame are shown front-on with a faint 3/4 perspective on background houses; overall mood is cheerful, cosy, family-friendly holiday casino-mobile styling, no hard flat outlines or cel-shading banding.",

    "free_spins_win.png and free_spins_win_final.png are SWAPPED relative to the manifest's notes/inherited labels. Opening the files directly shows: free_spins_win.png actually contains the SETTLED summary screen 'CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON 21.10 DURING FREE SPINS' with the PUSH GAMING wordmark/shield logo visible at the bottom of the card. free_spins_win_final.png (the frame the manifest describes as the settled 21.10 screen with the Push Gaming logo) instead shows a plain error interstitial reading 'Error / Session missing or expired' -- it is NOT a win screen and carries no studio branding, no win figure, and no game content at all. This documentation therefore uses free_spins_win.png as the source for the settled 21.10 fun total and for the studio wordmark evidence, and flags free_spins_win_final.png as an unusable/impostor frame for those purposes. The natural-round pair (free_spins_win_natural.png = 7.92 mid-count, free_spins_win_natural_final.png = 15.60 near-settled) was checked the same way and matches its manifest notes correctly -- only the purchased-round pair is swapped."
