Every dollar figure, percentage, and rule sentence quoted below was read directly off a screenshot, not inferred. Numeric anomalies flagged by the capturer (ante-inflated MAXIMUM BET, dimmed buy-buttons under ante) were independently re-verified in this pass: (a) MAXIMUM BET $375.00 vs measured $250.00 max via BET MAX button, ratio 1.5 = the 15x/10x ante multiplier, confirmed on settings_2.png where the ante side-plaque reads 'BET $375.00' while the bet-menu reads TOTAL BET $250.00; (b) the BUY FREE SPINS / BUY SUPER FREE SPINS buttons were re-zoomed side-by-side (ante-off vs ante-on) and are visibly desaturated/paled (white glow and magenta/gold saturation both drop) when ante is ON, confirming the capturer's numeric channel measurement.",
