A carved golden totem pole (stacked painted stone faces bound with gold chains, jewelled medallions and a glowing green gem at its base) stands beside the reels as the game's main decorative icon. Purple mountain-jungle background with a stepped stone pyramid visible at upper-left, a river/waterfall of turquoise water, and scattered gold coins, crystals and an open treasure chest along the base of the screen on promo slides.",

    "method_notes": "All numeric values (payouts, RTP, bet range, max win, volatility bolt count) were read directly from on-screen text and cross-checked with zoomed crops (paytable tiles, volatility badge, bottom-left icon cluster, totem). Raw pytesseract OCR was also generated per screenshot as a secondary anchor, but PP's carved-stone-textured UI degrades OCR heavily (garbled output on most frames) so the pixel/visual reading is the primary source; OCR is kept only as a rough cross-check, not quoted verbatim where it conflicts with what is legible on the image itself. Items that remained unclear are listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain' and NOT invented. The grid is dynamic (pyramid-shaped, unlocking corners over consecutive tumbles) — this is a documented GAME MECHANIC (see 'grid_and_ways'), not a per-spin random layout, so it is described structurally rather than enumerated cell-by-cell.",

Each of the 4 corners, once unlocked, triggers a DIFFERENT one-time feature: (1) top-left corner unlock -> Mystery symbols are revealed on the grid and immediately auto-replaced with a random paying symbol; (2) top-right corner unlock -> up to 3 low-value symbols on screen are replaced with high-value symbols; (3) bottom-left corner unlock -> all symbols on reels 1 and 2 become big 2x2 expanded (giant) symbols for the current spin and every subsequent tumble of that spin sequence; (4) bottom-right corner unlock -> all symbols on reels 4 and 5 become big 2x2 expanded (giant) symbols likewise.

Residual minor risk: green is reused for several different affordances (nav arrows, 'on' toggle state, BET MAX/START AUTOPLAY action buttons, giant-symbol highlight) — but each of these also carries a non-color cue (position, checkmark, explicit button text, or size/shape) so the color reuse does not create an accessibility barrier by itself.",
