    "theme": "Comic-book 'crime boss' parody set in a stylised nighttime Japanese/East-Asian back-alley district. The hero is a white panda in gold-rimmed red-lens sunglasses, a leopard-print-collared dark jacket and gold jewellery, smoking a cigar - visually cast as a yakuza-style 'boss'. Supporting cast: a slicked-back-hair monkey 'consigliere' in a white shirt, and a grinning wolf ninja gripping a katana. Low symbols are the four card suits (club/heart/spade/diamond) each redrawn as a small stamped ideogram inside the suit shape, tying the deck into the same East-Asian visual language.",
    "art_style": "Flat, thick-black-outlined 2D vector/cartoon illustration (comic-book style) with cel-shaded, airbrushed soft shading on the character portraits (fur/skin) and hard-edged flat colour fills on the geometric icon tiles (suits, shuriken, gun). Symbol tiles sit inside a uniform square frame with thin gold Chinese/Japanese fret-pattern corner brackets. The playfield is a painted, semi-realistic 2.5D night-time city-alley background (muted teal/blue duotone, paper lanterns, kanji shop signs) viewed head-on/front-on (no isometric or top-down perspective); Free Spins swaps this for a warm red/magenta neon-lit tavern interior. Overall mood is a stylised, comic 'pop-art yakuza' look rather than photorealistic or painterly-cinematic rendering; promo/trigger/win screens use a dark red vignette with a bright orange radial glow burst behind bold beveled gold-outlined lettering.",
    "wordmark": "'BOSS BEAR' in bold 3D orange-to-red gradient beveled letters with a black outline, flanked by two crossed katana/ninja swords (purple grips, silver blades) and sitting on a small grey circular medallion with a green swirl accent at the bottom; shown top-center on preview/base_game/feature-transition screens.",

    "method_notes": "Numbers cross-checked against the OCR ground truth already captured by the capturer and re-read personally on the source images (not re-OCR'd) where noted. Payout multipliers were converted from the printed currency figures using the paytable's own stated anchor bet of 0.50 fun (see payout_basis). Bonus-buy prices were divided by the 0.50 fun Base Bet shown on the purchase dialog and matched exactly against the multipliers printed in Know The Game. Nothing not visible on a captured frame was invented; gaps are listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain'.",

    "scripts/scroll_capture.py flagged a 'gap_suspected' warning at almost every page boundary of both the paytable and the rules booklet; manual comparison of several adjacent page pairs (p8/p9, p12/p13, p14/p15/p16/p17 in the paytable; p1/p2, p6/p7, p12/p13 in the rules) found CONTINUOUS content with no real gap - treated as a false positive of the gap detector on this build, not a missing page.",
    "The live moment a Nudge Symbol actually triggers mid-spin during the Coin Feature was not captured as a separate frame (only the feature's entry state and its final filled-grid result were captured); the mechanic itself is fully documented from the printed paytable text, so this is not treated as a coverage gap.",

    "The exact reading/meaning of the small ideogram-style character stamped inside each of the four low card-suit symbols was not confidently transcribed (each is small and stylised); their SHAPE, tile colour and relative position on the paytable page are unambiguous and used for identification instead.",
    "The upper end of the Total Bet list while Push Bet is active was not independently re-scrolled to its maximum; only the low end (0.12 - 0.84 fun, i.e. +20% of 0.10 - 0.70 fun) was directly observed. The un-scaled maximum (100.00 fun) and the +20% relationship are both confirmed separately, but the scaled maximum itself was not read off-screen.",
    "Whether Push Bet has any effect on the RTP of the three purchasable bonus-buy options was not stated anywhere in the capture: Know The Game only splits Random Free Spins and Golden Reveal Feature RTP by Gamble strategy (always/never), and gives a single RTP for 5 Bonus Symbol Free Spins; no bonus-buy row mentions Push Bet at all, so this dimension is treated as not applicable/undocumented for bonus buys rather than assumed to be zero-effect."
