A haunted multi-storey hotel building with a giant mechanical elevator dial mounted above the reels, storm/lightning effects, brass and iron steampunk machinery framing the reels, and two black raven/crow statues perched on ornate pillars flanking the reel cabinet on both sides. Two recurring human characters: a male hotel bellhop/porter (navy-blue uniform with gold trim, white gloves, round pillbox cap) and a Victorian femme-fatale lady ('Dead Lover', dark purple/burgundy corseted dress, black wide-brim hat with a feather, black choker) - these two illustrate the WILD symbol and the Free Spins feature branding ('Dead Lovers').",

The main SPIN button is a dark circle with a crowned gorilla emblem and two white curved arrows forming a circular 'spin/repeat' motif. Positive/confirm actions (START AUTOPLAY, toggle-on states, TOTAL BET +/- in settings, SKIP SCREENS checkmark) use green; toggle-off state uses a plain grey/white circle."

The rules/info content is a strictly linear 9-page sequence (</X/> to navigate, 'Page n/9' always shown) - suitable for sequential screen-reader traversal. The current floor is conveyed redundantly in three places simultaneously: the dial needle position, the numeric readout in the dial center, and the top-left threshold-symbol badge - none of which depend on color alone.",
    "motor": "Large round click targets throughout; the central SPIN button is the largest single target. SPACE and ENTER keys also start/stop a spin (keyboard-operable, no mouse required for core play). Autoplay (with an adjustable spin count) reduces the number of required manual actions. Holding SPACE alone triggers turbo spin, a shortcut that avoids needing to reach the speed-cycle button.",

Residual risk: the 6 card-rank symbols (A/K/Q/J/10/9) are primarily distinguished from each other by hue (gold/red/green/blue/purple/teal) since the letter/number shapes alone (A,K,Q,J,10,9) are otherwise the main non-color cue - the shapes themselves ARE distinct characters, so this is judged low-risk, but there is no secondary iconography differentiating the two same-payout pairs (A/K/Q/J share one payout tier; 10/9 share another) beyond the character glyph itself.",

Reaching floor 13 (Hold and Spin trigger) turned out to require sustained net-upward floor movement against a roughly 50/50 up/down ARROW-driven random walk, and the WILD-stack Free Spins trigger is an independent low-probability event that also did not land. No further capture is recommended without a materially larger spin budget than the project's standard ceiling."

  "novelty_notes": "Standard Pragmatic Play / Reel Kingdom UI chrome (menu/sound/info/settings/autoplay layout, rules-booklet pagination) is unchanged from other PP titles. The novel element is the 'Cash Elevator' core mechanic itself (a persistent, bet-level-scoped floor state that progressively strips low-value symbols from the reel strips as it climbs, with two feature triggers gated on reaching a specific floor or landing a specific WILD pattern) - this has been documented exhaustively from the rules text and cross-checked against the 3 floor states that were captured on-camera (floors 3, 5 and 10)."
