    "screen_reader": "Control positions are stable across every base-game frame: info/paytable button at the far left of the bottom bar, BET/BET LEVEL/BET-MAX/SPIN/AUTOPLAY/COIN/BALANCE in a fixed left-to-right order, and a separate service strip below with settings/balance/bet/clock/turbo/fullscreen/sound icons. The paytable and Help overlays are both linear scrolling documents with a single close ('X') control, no page-jump menu.",
    "motor": "All primary controls are large circular touch targets; SPIN and STOP are the largest elements on the bar. Space bar starts and stops the spin (Help: 'Space bar can be used to spin/stop the reels.'), giving a keyboard-only path to play. Autoplay (with configurable stop conditions) reduces the number of required interactions.",
    "color_blind": "Most state changes are backed by text, not colour alone: the Super Spin feature is signalled simultaneously by a curtain-colour change (red to blue), a text label change ('3 Triggers Feature' to 'Super Spin'), and a button shape/icon change (green play-triangle to red stop-square). Toggle switches in Settings/Autoplay show both an ON/OFF position (left/right) and an orange-vs-grey colour. Win amounts are large high-contrast gold-on-blue-glow numerals, legible without colour discrimination. Residual risk: the persistent scatter-progress badge relies on a small icon plus text ('3 Triggers Feature') rather than a numeric counter of scatters currently on screen, so a screen-reader-only user would not know how many scatters are already present mid-spin from that badge alone.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No audio-only information was observed; the Help screen documents sound/music as togglable ('Sound - Ambient', 'Sound - Effects', 'Volume') and describes them only as game/ambient audio. All game state (bet, balance, win, jackpot phase, feature status) is conveyed through on-screen text."

  "unreadable_or_uncertain": [
    "The red ribbon/scroll lettering at the bottom of the 'sun-and-moon fortune banner' symbol is not legible at any captured zoom level (script style, low contrast against the red banner).",
    "Maximum win / max multiplier: not printed anywhere in the captured booklet or Help screens; NOT invented or sourced externally for this document.",
    "Volatility rating: not printed anywhere in the captured booklet or Help screens (this provider typically prints it only on its external website, which is outside the scope of screenshot-based documentation).",
    "Whether the scatter (ringmaster) symbol has any standalone per-count payout value: no numeric table for it was found in the 6 booklet pages, only the 3+-trigger rule; treated as trigger-only rather than assumed to be zero.",
    "Exact numeric jackpot ticker values shown mid-session (€4,170.48 accumulation amount, a countdown reading '... 26s') are live/shared pool state, not fixed game data, and are intentionally not treated as characteristics of this game (see 'jackpot.observed_pool_value_caution')."
