Setting is a desert at sunset (base game) that turns into a stormy, lightning-lit night during the Free Games feature.",
    "art_style": "Flat-lit, painterly 2D digital illustration (semi-realistic character portraits inside carved wooden medallions), NOT 3D-rendered and NOT cel-shaded flat-vector. Medium-soft airbrushed shading with visible brush texture on fur/feathers, warm painterly lighting rather than sharp cel outlines. Base game is bright, warm daylight (orange desert sunset); the Free Games background switches to a cool, dark, stormy night palette with lightning flashes. Overall mood is adventurous/mystical rather than cartoonish-childish or cyberpunk-neon; camera/framing is a straight-on view of a stationary 5x3 reel grid (no isometric or top-down perspective).",

'YOU HAVE WON' banner (free games total): dark dimmed background, gold 'YOU HAVE WON' text, a stylised carved wooden thunderbird totem (teal-green, copper-orange and silver-grey painted carving, different art from both the WILD and SCATTER icons) behind the amount, amount in large gold 3D digits."

However, in every instance captured (including a dedicated 3-frame before/mid/after sequence during Free Games, spaced roughly 0.5s apart), the board showed exactly ONE WILD symbol both before and after the lightning animation; no second symbol elsewhere on the grid was seen changing into a WILD as a result. The printed rule does not state whether it is restricted to the Free Games feature or also applies in the base game.

Its content is a single screen titled 'PAYLINES': thirty numbered 3x5 diagrams, one per payline, numbered 1 to 30, plus the standard booklet footer. This is an independent second channel confirming the payline count of 30 already documented from the Help screen, and it adds no numbers that change anything else in this document.
