A dusk-to-blood-red western desert town at the moment of a 'bloody dawn': a huge blood-orange/yellow moon or sun glows behind streaked red clouds, silhouetted mountains, a broken wooden wagon wheel and cart on the left, a wooden barn/shack on the right, cacti and dry scrub in the foreground dirt. Character cast mixes Western gunslingers with horror/plague-doctor and vampire/native-warrior imagery: a fanged vampire chief, a beaked plague-doctor riflemen, a screaming tribal warrior, and a beaked plague-doctor revolver gunslinger. Dripping blood-red gothic wordmark 'BLOODY DAWN' top-right of the base game.",

Only the highest win is paid per winning combination on the same payway' (paytable_p5.png) -- payouts below are therefore per BASE BET, NOT per way and NOT per line; a purity test (dividing displayed win amounts by $2.00 base bet) yields clean multiples of 0.05 (2.5x, 2x, 1.5x, 0.75x, 0.6x, 0.5x, 0.3x), confirming the base-bet basis.

    "CONFLICT ON base_game_win.png (documented verbatim, not resolved, not invented): the win-breakdown line reads exactly '5X A PAYS $1.00 x 2 = $2.00 ON 2 WAYS'; the bottom win readout shows exactly 'WIN $1.93'; the paytable (paytable_p1.png, zoomed) gives the 5-of-a-kind payout for 'A' as exactly '$1.20' (not $1.00 -- $1.00 is instead the paytable value for 5-of-a-kind 'Q'). None of the three figures reconcile cleanly with each other or with the paytable. Possible (UNCONFIRMED) explanations: the breakdown line may cycle through multiple concurrent winning combinations from the same tumble and was captured mid-cycle out of sync with the summed WIN total; or the frame was captured mid-tumble-chain while the WIN total was still accumulating from a prior tumble. The true per-combination math cannot be verified from the available frames and is NOT guessed at here.",
    "The capture-manifest note for preview.png claims it shows 'WIN UP TO 5,000 X BET'; the actual pixels do not contain this text anywhere -- the frame is a feature-tip overlay ('INCREASING WIN MULTIPLIER FOR EACH TUMBLE') with a volatility badge and a 'DON'T SHOW NEXT TIME' checkbox instead. The doc above describes what is actually visible; the max-win figure of 5,000x bet is sourced independently and reliably from paytable_p3.png and paytable_p7.png.",
    "The exact win chance formula/table behind the gamble wheel's per-tier percentages (only the current tier's 67.77% was captured) is not available from the captured frames -- only the single observed value is documented.",
    "The precise pixel proportions of the green (WIN) vs red (LOSE) arcs on the gamble wheel were estimated visually from the screenshot, not measured -- described qualitatively as 'green is the larger portion' rather than with exact percentages/degrees.",
