    "theme": "American West / Native American canyon wildlife theme. Reels are set inside a wooden totem-pole frame decorated with feathers, knotted rope, bone toggles and bison horns, floating over a warm desert canyon background (orange/purple sandstone cliffs, a river at the bottom, hazy blue sky). Side decorations include a quiver of arrows, a woven basket of black stones/coal, a red round shield and a spear leaning against the rock, reinforcing a Native-American hunting-camp motif. The two purchasable bonus rounds re-theme the same canyon into a lush 'Green Valley' (green grass, green-tinted mountains, river) and a snow-covered 'Ice Park' (blue-white snowy peaks, icicles).",
    "art_style": "Painterly 2D digital illustration, not flat-vector: animal head portraits (eagle, bear, wolf, lynx, bison) are rendered with detailed, semi-realistic fur/feather texture, soft directional lighting and warm highlights rather than flat cel-shaded fills. Low-value symbols are stylised tribal ornaments shaped like playing-card suits (spade/heart/club/diamond) carved in a wood-and-metal engraved look. The background is a sunlit daytime desert canyon rendered with soft atmospheric haze (no neon, no night scenes). UI chrome (paytable/rules/settings panels) is a minimal flat dark charcoal-grey semi-transparent overlay with thin white line icons and a single red accent bar/button colour. Camera/viewpoint on the reels is straight-on, eye-level. Overall mood is adventurous and rugged-nature rather than cartoonish-cute or cinematic-dark.",
    "wordmark_notes": "In-game corner logo (top-left of base_game.png) reads 'BISON BATTLE' on a wooden plank banner hung from crossed silver bison horns, letters in an orange-to-yellow gradient with a dark brown outline. The splash/loading screen (preview.png) shows the same wordmark plus a third line 'BISON BATTLE 50000X' - the '50000X' is a promotional addition unique to the splash screen advertising the max win, not part of the persistent in-game wordmark. Catalog name used throughout this document is 'Bison Battle' (matches both wordmark forms)."

The UI itself (base_game.png, bet_select_p1-3.png) only ever exposes a single 'Total Bet' figure - there is no separate 'bet per line' readout anywhere in the build. Resolution: total_bet is correct, per both the dedicated Paytable-section text and the numeric win_screen.png evidence above; the rules_p2.png sentence is treated as inherited boilerplate that does not reflect this game's actual configuration."
