    "theme": "A misty Chinese/East-Asian bamboo forest inhabited by cartoon forest animals (a laughing panda, a grinning green macaque monkey, a crested blue bird, a tusked wild boar) alongside Chinese-temple imagery (an ornate gold pillar/stone frame around the reels, a yin-yang 'Gamble Scatter' medallion, gold coin decorations, a golden bamboo-stalk chalice).",
    "art_style": "Flat, hand-painted 2D vector cartoon illustration with bold black outlines and cel-shaded coloring (no photorealism, no dramatic/cinematic lighting). Animal symbols are drawn as stylized, slightly comical character portraits (closed-eye smiling monkey, laughing panda, stern boar, sleepy-eyed bird) inside ornate gold medallion/plaque frames. The reels sit inside a carved gold Chinese-temple pillar-and-lintel frame. Backgrounds are a single flat, softly gradient-lit bamboo-stalk forest silhouette with drifting glowing particles/fireflies; the flat background tint itself is the main mood signal and shifts by context: cool teal-green in the base game, violet-purple / coral-red / amber-orange during different free-spins states, and deep red for the Golden Bamboo big-win announcement. Overall look is bright, whimsical and casual-mobile rather than gritty or realistic; typography is bold, chunky, bevelled 3D lettering (gold, green or pink depending on screen) with a soft outer glow.",

All symbol payout figures below are quoted exactly as printed at the 0.50 fun anchor, with the equivalent total-bet multiplier given alongside.

This looks like the Golden Bamboo Feature payout replacing/resetting the on-screen running counter rather than strictly adding to it. Balance deltas (not the running WIN counter) were used as ground truth for all totals in this document, and by that measure no wins are believed to have been lost or miscounted — this is flagged purely as a display/UX behavior for accessibility awareness (a screen-reader announcing the running counter mid-round could momentarily state a number higher than the eventual total)."

The Free-Spins-award dot indicators (4 small dots showing conversion progress) are a residual color-only-leaning risk noted above. Golden Bamboo Feature symbols (Instant Prize / Multiplier / Collector / Scatter / Gamble Scatter) are each distinguished by a distinct pictogram/letter (a number, an 'X', a 'C', the word 'BONUS', or a plain yin-yang) as well as by frame color, so they remain distinguishable without color vision.",

    "The precise, fixed conversion ORDER of the 4 Low Symbols (which one converts 1st/2nd/3rd/4th, and whether the order is deterministic or landing-dependent) could not be conclusively established from the captured frames; the reward SIZES per conversion order (+4 spins/2x, +3/3x, +3/5x, +2/10x) are confirmed from rules text, but which physical symbol (Club/Heart/Spade/Diamond) maps to which position in that sequence was only weakly inferred from sidebar meter snapshots and is not asserted as fact.",
    "The rules booklet contains a direct self-contradiction on the payout basis: rules_p2.png says the paytable is 'based on the bet per line', rules_p11.png says 'based on the total bet'. Arithmetic evidence (see payout_basis) and the explicit rules_p11 wording both support TOTAL BET, and that is what is used throughout, but the contradiction itself is recorded here rather than silently resolved.",
    "Volatility rating is not printed anywhere inside the captured game screens (paytable, rules, settings, preview) — only the game's public storefront page typically carries this for this provider, and no storefront capture was in scope for this documentation pass.",
    "A frame captured under the filename 'mega_win_celebration.png' was expected to show a mid-round 'MEGA WIN 33.51' overlay per capture notes, but the saved image shows only plain Free Spins gameplay with no such overlay visible. The 33.51 figure is therefore NOT used anywhere in this document; flagged as a capture/labeling discrepancy for TL review.",
    "A frame captured under the filename 'free_spins_expanded_wilds.png' shows the top row of reels 1 and 5 rendered as a blurred/indistinct symbol shape rather than a clean, settled icon. No 'expanding wild' mechanic is described anywhere in the 24-page paytable or 13-page rules booklet (the only WILD-related rule found is plain substitution), so this is most likely a mid-spin motion-blur capture artifact rather than evidence of a distinct expanding-wild feature; no such feature is documented above.",
    "The base_game.png frame shows the top four cells of reel 5 as plain bamboo-stalk background art rather than a distinct symbol (see reel_grid.note_on_frame_artifact) — most likely a spin-settle timing artifact, not enumerated as a fixed reel-5 property.",
    "The full 50-line diagram (paytable pages 22-24) was visually confirmed to exist and to cover 50 distinct zig-zag paths across the 5x6 grid, but the 50 individual line shapes are not itemized one-by-one in this document, per the project convention against enumerating exhaustive static diagrams cell-by-cell; anyone needing the exact path of a specific line number should consult the referenced paytable pages directly."
