Playing cards are drawn simply - white faces, softly rounded corners, classic serif rank glyphs and solid pips, jet black for spades and clubs, scarlet red for hearts and diamonds. The game's signature decorative motif is a lime-green starburst scattered with small dark-purple five-point stars. The mood is bright, energetic and playful, never dark or cinematic.",

The logo contract excludes the provider's wordmark from the reference crops for the same reason it should stay out of the style text: describing it invites copying it. Original wordmark, for the record and NOT for generation: green fill with a purple three-dimensional bevel, a smaller yellow line beneath it, lime-green five-point stars.",

Screen furniture belongs in layout_and_ui, never here. Measured the hard way this wave - a draft mentioning 'yellow condensed subtitle text' produced a logo with the literal words CONDENSED SUBTITLE printed on it, and a second draft mentioning the 'glossy marigold bottom control bar with bevelled cyan buttons' produced a logo with a transport control bar drawn across the bottom. The generator draws whatever the style text names."

All five buttons are functional and lead to five separate editions of the same game engine, each with its own coin-denomination ladder and bet limits (see bet_limits_by_hand_count below).",

The tiles are purely decorative background art (green background, purple stylized wordmark, small five-point stars) and are replaced by real dealt cards for the currently active hand(s) once DEAL is pressed.",

Verified by comparison: the 50-hand panel's own values change from 250/50/80/50/20/7/4/4/3/2/1 (COINS=1) to 4000/250/400/250/100/35/20/20/15/10/5 (COINS=5), matching columns 1 and 5 of the 1-hand matrix exactly - the pay table itself does not change with the number of hands played, only its presentation does.",
      "color_gradient": "Each row of the paytable is filled with a horizontal colour gradient that runs, from the top row (Royal Flush) to the bottom row (Jacks Or Better), through: deep red -> orange-red -> orange -> yellow -> yellow-green -> green -> teal-green -> teal-blue -> blue -> blue-violet -> purple. The gradient encodes the RELATIVE RANK of the hand (best pays at top/red, worst at bottom/purple) and is fully redundant with the row's text label and position - a colour-blind or low-vision player loses nothing by rank order and text alone.",

Hearts and diamonds are printed in red; spades and clubs in black. This is the sole source of colour for suit - rank glyphs and pip SHAPES (spade/heart/diamond/club silhouette) fully duplicate suit information for colour-blind players.",

The banner's fill colour matches the same rainbow gradient band used for that rank in the paytable (e.g. teal for 3 OF A KIND, green for FULL HOUSE, blue/purple for 2 PAIR / Jacks Or Better) - again colour is reinforced by the printed hand name, never colour-only.",

RTP in video poker is conditional on using the mathematically optimal hold strategy at every hand; a player using a different strategy achieves a lower real-world return, and the game itself even offers to auto-select the optimal hold via AUTO HOLD ('will by default select the optimum strategy for you' - rules_p1.png)."

    "how": "At COINS=5 (the maximum), Royal Flush pays 4000 coins x denomination. At denomination 0.02 (the 50-hand edition's lowest rung) the bet per hand is 5 coins x $0.02 = $0.10, and the payout is 4000 x $0.02 = $80.00, i.e. 80.00 / 0.10 = 800x - this matches the provider page's stated 'Max Multiplier x800'.",
    "caveat": "A single Royal Flush on the 50-hand edition returns only 16x of that edition's FULL round bet (80.00 / 5.00, where 5.00 = the total round bet at that denomination). The 800x figure is a multiple of the FULL round bet as well, and the mechanic that makes it reachable is precisely the shared deal: Help states 'You are dealt the first hand, which determines your overall cards for the draw that follows for the rest of the hands', so a Royal Flush that is DEALT and then HELD in its entirety leaves nothing to draw and is inherited by all 50 hands at once - 50 x 4000 = 200,000 coins against a 250-coin round bet = 800x. TL correction at GATE-2: an earlier draft of this field claimed the opposite, that shared cards made 800x 'effectively unreachable'. That inverts the causality - independent hands would make the ceiling astronomically unlikely, while shared held cards collapse it to the odds of being dealt a natural Royal Flush (about 1 in 649,740). The same derivation is recorded for the provider's other video poker, Tens or Better (wave 274). Not observed in capture either way."
