All symbol payouts were read directly from zoomed paytable crops (paytable_p1 through p6) and cross-checked against the printed anchor bet of 0.20 FUN. Screen descriptions are built from the actual pixels of each captured frame, not from the capturer's filenames or notes (two frames, free_spins_1.png and free_spins_2.png, showed numbers that did not match their original capture notes; the numbers actually visible on the pixels are what is documented below).",
