    "how_it_works": "The paytable (paytable_p1/p2.png) prints a currency amount at a bet of 0.20 FUN for each symbol tier. That printed amount is the payout for ONE matched way. The actual round win for a combination = (printed tier amount) x (number of ways the combination occupies on that spin), i.e. product of the cell-counts of the matching symbol on each of the reels it appears on.",
    "verified_example": "base_game_win.png: reel heights on that frame were 3,3,4,3,5,5 (product 2700 = the '2700 WAYS' printed in the header). The Bastet portrait symbol (red card) formed a 3-of-a-kind on reels 1-2-3, occupying 1 cell on reel 1, 2 cells on reel 2 and 2 cells on reel 3 = 1x2x2 = 4 ways. Paytable prints 'Bastet 3: 0.10 FUN' at bet 0.20. 4 ways x 0.10 FUN = 0.40 FUN, exactly the 'Total win: 0.40 FUN' shown on that frame.",
    "total_bet_multiplier_conversion": "To express any printed paytable amount as a multiplier of TOTAL BET, divide by the 0.20 FUN anchor bet (e.g. 0.10 FUN -> 0.5x total bet PER MATCHED WAY). This per-way multiplier must still be multiplied by the number of ways matched on that spin to get the actual round payout - it is not itself the round win.",
    "wild_scatter_exception": "Rules explicitly separate this: 'Wins are multiplied by the bet per pay way, except for Wild/Scatter symbols' (rules_p5.png). The Wild/Scatter (golden book) is paid on symbol COUNT directly (in accordance with the paytable, 'independent of its position' - paytable_p1.png), not multiplied by a matched-ways count the way ordinary symbols are.",
    "confirmed_by_hud_icon": "During free spins the small book icon top-left of the header displays the currently-active expanding symbol's tier table already converted to total-bet multipliers (e.g. '6x1 / 5x0.5 / 4x0.3 / 3x0.2' while the K royal was expanding, matching K's printed FUN values of 0.20/0.10/0.06/0.04 divided by 0.20; and '6x5 / 5x2 / 4x1 / 3x0.5' while the cat-god symbol was expanding, matching its printed 1.00/0.40/0.20/0.10 divided by 0.20) - this is the same per-way tier table, just expressed as a multiplier instead of currency; it does not contradict the per-way basis."
