Straight-on / slightly elevated frontal camera on the reel grid (no isometric or 3D perspective).

Two more pufferfish values ($15.00 and $30.00) are visible one row further down, but that row sits BELOW the frames' bottom edge -- outside the frame boundary -- so per the rule ('values of all MONEY symbols that are WITHIN a frame are added together') they do not count toward the payout.",

The two pufferfish values below the frame ($15.00, $30.00) are deliberately excluded from this sum -- they sit outside the frame boundary and do not pay; an earlier draft of this document wrongly included them (16+30+80+15+30+25=196, which does not match the $151.00 on screen) before this was caught and corrected.",
