    "slug": "cs5triple8gold (demo gameSymbol) — the 'cs' prefix marks this as a Pragmatic Play 'classic slot' build, structurally different from the typical 'vs' video-slot UI (see 'build_notes' below).",
    "theme": "Classic Chinese-luck / lucky-fruit-machine theme built around the number 888 (a number considered auspicious in Chinese culture). Symbols and background use red, gold and maroon Chinese motifs: swirling cloud patterns, a Chinese 'cash' coin with a square hole, and a red paper lantern with a gold tassel.",
    "cabinet_type": "Classic 3-reel x 3-row mechanical-fruit-machine style single-game screen (not a modern video-slot with overlay menus): the paytable panel is permanently visible at all times to the left of the reels, and there is no separate paytable/rules overlay to open or close.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 7 manifest screenshots (1280x800 desktop) plus additional probe screenshots already present in the slot folder (used only to corroborate bet-limit and control-behavior claims already verified by the capturer), OCR crops, and zoomed pixel crops of the paytable and payline diagram.",
    "method_notes": "Payline diagram traced by isolating and re-zooming the diagram at x5-x6 scale; the WILD line-payout table and the six-symbol paytable were read directly from zoomed crops of base_game.png, not from OCR (OCR on this stylised gold/red numeral font is unreliable, e.g. reads '6000' as '@OO'). Numbers are taken verbatim from on-screen text. Two capture-time hash checks were run to settle a discrepancy between the manifest's textual notes and the actual frame bytes (see 'source_frame_discrepancies').",

  "build_notes": {
    "summary": "This is NOT a typical Pragmatic Play video slot. It is a minimalist classic 3x3 reel machine with these structural differences from the studio's usual 'vs' builds: (1) the paytable is drawn directly onto the main game canvas at all times, on the left of the reels — there is no 'i' info button and no separate paytable overlay to open; (2) there is no in-game rules/RTP/volatility page at all — the only in-game 'rules' text is a single rotating banner strip under the reels; (3) there are no free spins, no bonus round and no bonus-buy option, confirmed structurally (paytable enumerates exactly 6 paying elements — a WILD digit and 5 regular symbols — with no scatter/bonus symbol among them) and behaviourally (dozens of spins across manual play and multiple autoplay batches produced only base-game WILD/BAR/Coin/Lantern combinations, no trigger of any kind); (4) the 'BET MAX' button, despite its name, does not raise the bet to the table maximum — clicking it simply spins the reels immediately at whatever bet is currently set (confirmed: COIN VALUE/BET/LINES fields were unchanged after clicking it in _bet_max.png/_betmax.png); (5) 'SELECT LINES' does not open a line-selection panel — each click cycles the LINES field forward by one step through 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> back to 1."

    "reel_frame": "Three vertical arched reel windows side by side, each with a pale cream-to-light-yellow gradient background (lighter at the top, warmer gold toward the bottom), separated by thin dark vertical dividers, the whole set enclosed in a red-and-gold beveled outer border with a single row of small round gold dots running along the inner edge and rounded/arched top corners.",

      "manifest note on paytable_p1.png claims it is 'identical' in the sense of being interchangeable with base_game.png. SHA-256 hash comparison shows paytable_p1.png is BYTE-IDENTICAL to rules.png (same CREDIT 10000101, same WIN $0.08, same reel result, same 'HOLD SPACE FOR TURBO SPIN' banner), but it is NOT identical to base_game.png, which has a different CREDIT (10000000), no WIN readout, a different reel result, and a different banner ('...IS WILD AND SUBSTITUTES ALL SYMBOLS'). The underlying claim in the manifest (this build has one permanently-visible paytable/game screen with no separate overlay) is correct and preserved in this documentation, but the specific wording 'identical to base_game.png' is not literally accurate for these two particular capture instants.",
      "manifest note on rules.png states the WILD-substitution banner text is the content of that frame; the ACTUAL rules.png frame displays a different banner state ('HOLD SPACE FOR TURBO SPIN'), not the WILD-substitution text. The WILD-substitution text does appear elsewhere (e.g. base_game.png), so the fact itself is documented correctly, but it is not what is literally printed on the rules.png pixels.",
      "manifest did not mention that the bottom-left status-bar icon set differs between base_game.png (gear icon only) and every post-first-spin frame (gear icon PLUS an additional sound/mute icon to its left) — added as a UI observation above; not a contradiction, just an omission.",
      "logo_refs.json's second reference box (base_game.png, x1=953,y1=140,x2=1130,y2=240, labelled 'Красный китайский фонарь (символ Lantern)') does NOT actually contain a lantern in base_game.png — that pixel region is blank reel background (plain cream/gold gradient) in this particular capture, because reel 3's top cell in that random spin snapshot shows a Triple-Bar symbol, not the lantern. This box was left untouched per instructions, but is flagged here since it would crop an empty gradient rather than the intended icon if used as-is."

    "RTP percentage: not a reading failure — confirmed structurally absent from every screen in this build (no rules/info page exists anywhere to display it).",
    "Volatility rating: same as RTP, structurally absent.",
    "An official 'max win' multiplier claim: not stated anywhere (no splash promo, no rules page); the 6000-credit WILD line-4 paytable value is the highest number observed but is a paytable entry, not a declared max-win figure.",
    "Whether the sound/mute icon that appears next to the gear icon on post-spin frames is present from the very first frame and simply missed by the loading order, or is genuinely added only after the first interaction — could not be settled from static screenshots alone."
