A golden buffalo-skull medallion is the Scatter.",

Panel header 'Autoplay Settings' in white on the dark red-brown panel background, with a round yellow close button carrying an orange cross in the top right corner. Below a thin horizontal divider, the centred white sub-heading 'Choose number of rounds'. Under it, eight wide pill buttons in bright orange-red with white numerals, laid out three per row: '10', '25', '50' on the first row; '100', '250', '500' on the second; '750' and '1 000' on the third (the third row is left-aligned, the right-hand slot is empty). None of the pills is highlighted, so no round count is selected yet. Beneath them, the section title 'Advanced Settings' is rendered in DIMMED grey with a small yellow chevron pointing down: the section is collapsed and inactive until a round count is chosen - it is not absent. The circular start-autoplay button on the right rail is likewise dimmed (orange on orange, no yellow ring), i.e. disabled while nothing is selected. The bottom status strip shows BALANCE FUN 999 000, WIN FUN 0, BET FUN 1 000."
