    "provider": "BGaming",
    "provider_game_code": "CandyMonsta",
    "theme": "A candy/sweets-themed slot centred on a small red bat-winged devil-like creature named 'Monsta'. In this edition Monsta is dressed as Cupid: he carries a curved bow and a pink heart-tipped arrow. Overall art direction is a St. Valentine's Day romance theme layered on top of a generic candy-shop base game: pink hearts, red/pink/purple balloons shaped like hearts, and candy-cane striped borders.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, colour-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 40 desktop screenshots (1280x800) plus OCR ground truth and zoomed paytable crops.",

    "relationship": "This is ONE OF FOUR seasonal reskins ('editions') of the same underlying game engine, code-named 'CandyMonsta' by the provider. The base game and all editions share identical mechanics, paytable structure, RTP formula and reel/line layout; only the visual skin (art, palette, wordmark, and the Monsta character's costume/prop) changes between editions. The base build math (94.03% RTP, 5x3 grid, 20 fixed lines, per-line payout basis) is NOT specific to this edition — it is inherited from the shared engine.",

    "how_confirmed": [
      "Pixel evidence: the wordmark reads 'Candy Monsta ST. VALENTINE'S EDITION' on the splash screen (preview.png), in the base game header (base_game.png) and on every paytable/rules page. The colour palette is pink/fuchsia/purple with floating heart balloons and heart-shaped decorations; the Monsta character holds a Cupid-style bow and heart-tipped arrow, and the Scatter/Bonus symbol is a heart-shaped glass jar of candy tied with a 'Bonus' gift tag (paytable_p1.png / paytable_p2.png).",
      "Technical/JS evidence: window.__OPTIONS__.ui.skins reported the array [\"basic\",\"xmas\",\"valentine\",\"halloween\"]; window.__OPTIONS__.ui.applied_skin was read as \"basic\" on a fresh, unparametrised token and changed to \"valentine\" after the games-URL was reloaded with an explicit &skin=valentine parameter — the capture session used the 'valentine' state for every screenshot in this manifest."

    "what_differs_from_base_edition": "Only cosmetic/theme elements differ: background art (hearts/balloons vs whatever the base skin uses), the game wordmark banner, the Monsta character's held prop (Cupid bow + heart arrow), the Scatter/Bonus symbol art (heart candy jar vs the base edition's presumed different container), and ambient decoration on menus/paytable pages. Grid size, number of lines, symbol payout tiers, RTP, bet range, and feature rules (Free Spins trigger/count, Sticky Wild behaviour) are the shared engine math and are NOT unique to Valentine's."
