      "expansion_examples": "Captured frames show the special 'A' symbol appearing singly (not yet expanded) when insufficient for a win, and — in the biggest captured win — fully expanded to fill all 3 rows on reels 1 through 4 (12 'A' symbols total) after a qualifying trigger, per the 'expansion only if enough symbols for a win are present' rule.",
      "win_readout": "Bottom bar shows the running 'WIN' amount for the spin (e.g. 'WIN $6.00', later 'WIN $507.00') plus a small breakdown strip showing the matched symbol icons and text such as 'Line 2 Pays $1.00' or 'Line 3 Pays $8.00' (cross-checked against the paytable: a Book + J + J combo pays $1.00, matching the 3-of-a-kind J value; four A's on line 3 pays $8.00, matching the 4-of-a-kind A value).",

Bottom bar shows CREDIT and 'WIN $587.00' (the final settled round total) alongside BET $2.00.",
      "note": "The captured frame shows the center amount box still mid count-up animation at '$93.92' while the bottom-left 'WIN $587.00' already displays the final settled total — this is a rendering/animation timing artifact of the capture (the counter animates upward to match the final figure), not a data inconsistency.",

The info booklet is a strictly linear 6-page sequence navigated with ◄/► and closed with the center X — a screen reader can announce 'Page N of 6' consistently.",
    "motor": "Large round click targets throughout (SPIN is the largest element on screen). SPACE/ENTER also start/stop spins (keyboard-operable) and holding SPACE engages turbo spin, reducing the need for repeated precise clicks. Autoplay (with a 'skip screens' option already enabled by default in the captured settings) further reduces required interactions for extended play.",
    "color_blind": "Nearly all game-state cues are duplicated by shape, position, or text: toggle switches use handle position in addition to green/grey color; nav arrows are distinguished by triangle/cross shape; the Free Spins feature is signalled by both a background-palette shift and persistent banner text; win amounts and free-spin counts are always printed as legible numerals rather than conveyed by color alone. The royal-letter symbols (A/K/Q/J/10) each have a distinct colored glow, but the letter/number glyph itself remains the primary, color-independent identifier.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No audio-only information was observed; SOUND FX and AMBIENT MUSIC are purely decorative toggles (confirmed in the Settings Menu rules text). All game state (wins, feature status, credits, bet) is conveyed visually via on-screen text."
