Because the grid is only 3x3, several of the 5 lines can share cells (e.g. Line 3 and Line 5 both pass through the bottom cell of reel 1 and the middle cell of reel 2), so a single symbol layout can pay on more than one line at once; the payouts of all winning lines are summed into 'Total win'.",

This satisfies BOTH Line 3 (bottom row: firecracker-firecracker-firecracker) AND Line 5 (bottom-left/middle-middle/top-right: firecracker-firecracker-firecracker). Each line pays the printed 3-of-a-kind red-firecracker value of 8.00 FUN at the 2.00 FUN bet shown, and the status bar reads 'Total win: 16.00 FUN' (8.00 + 8.00). The bottom status text only names one of the two lines ('Line 3 pays') even though both paid - screen-reader copy should not assume the named line is the only contributor to the total."

Reels show a firecracker (red) match on the bottom row (Line 3) which, combined with a second simultaneous match on diagonal Line 5, produces 'Total win: 16.00 FUN' at a 2.00 FUN bet (see grid_and_mechanic.verified_example for the full breakdown). Status bar names 'Line 3 pays' while the amount reflects both lines.",

    "screen_reader": "Bottom bar control positions are stable and small in number: info ('i') and settings (gear) on the far left, Balance/Total bet with +/- arrows in the center, Autoplay ('A') and Spin (double-arrow) on the far right. The info/rules/paytable content lives in a SINGLE continuously scrollable panel rather than discrete numbered pages, which should be exposed to a screen reader as one long scrollable region with clear section headings ('BONUS' paytable, 'FEATURES', 'Bonus symbol', 'Bonus Game', 'Buy bonus', 'Lines') rather than as paginated 'page N of M' controls.",
    "motor": "Bet adjustment is via small up/down triangle arrows next to 'Total bet' (fine motor precision required) with no visible large +/- buttons on the main screen (unlike the larger oval +/- seen inside the Buy Bonus dialog itself). Spacebar-to-spin can be toggled off in Settings for players who prefer not to use the keyboard, and Autoplay with preset round counts (10 up to 1000, or infinite) reduces the number of repeated clicks/taps needed.",
    "color_blind": "Most state is conveyed redundantly: bet-arrow enabled/disabled by brightness, checkbox on/off by a checkmark glyph, volatility by a COUNT of lit rocket icons, win tier by wording and by the presence/absence of the mascot graphic. The one residual risk found is the three firecracker-bundle symbols (red/magenta/green) being distinguishable ONLY by hue at a glance, though since all three share the identical 8.00 FUN payout this does not affect win-amount comprehension.",

  "anomalies": [
    "Two different 'maximum win' figures appear in different places and are NOT the same scope: the splash screen prints an overall 'MAX WIN 559x', while the in-game rules text states the Bonus round's own cap is 'x499 of the bet'. Both are reported verbatim in technical_summary.max_win_note; no on-screen text reconciles the two numbers (e.g. by explaining what pushes the overall max above the bonus-round max), so this is documented as an open discrepancy, not resolved by invention.",
    "A single base-game spin (base_game_win_1.png) shows 'Total win: 16.00 FUN' at a 2.00 FUN bet even though the paytable's printed 3-of-a-kind value for the matched symbol (red firecracker) is only 8.00 FUN. This was re-checked and explained, not left as a mystery: the 3x3 grid's Line 3 (bottom row) and Line 5 (diagonal bottom-left/middle/top-right) both happened to be satisfied by the same symbol layout, so 8.00 FUN paid twice (once per winning line) for a true total of 16.00 FUN. See grid_and_mechanic.verified_example."

  "unreadable_or_uncertain": [
    "RTP percentage - not printed anywhere in the captured splash screen or the full 10-page rules/lines panel (the panel was scrolled to its confirmed bottom). Not invented.",
    "Printed MINIMUM BET / MAXIMUM BET text - no such text exists in the captured rules panel; the 0.10 FUN / 450.00 FUN limits were instead measured operationally by pressing the bet arrows to their disabled state.",
    "Exact multiplier value thresholds that select the 'BIG WIN' vs 'SUPER MEGA WIN' vs plain 'TOTAL WIN' banner tiers - not stated on any captured screen, only the two settled examples (200x -> SUPER MEGA WIN, 57x -> plain TOTAL WIN) and one unsettled mid-count BIG WIN frame were observed.",
    "How the overall splash 'MAX WIN 559x' figure is reached given the in-game text caps the Bonus round itself at x499 of the bet - no explanatory text was found.",
    "Whether the base game (outside the Bonus round) can itself contribute win multipliers beyond straightforward paytable sums - only plain paytable-line wins were observed in the base game in the captured frames."
