    "summary": "Instant-win, single-action reveal game. The player places a bet and presses PLAY. The game immediately and invisibly (server-side) assigns 5 of a larger pool of possible 'tier' symbols to the round and displays them, with their current cash value at the player's bet, in a fixed row above the card grid ('MATCH 3 SYMBOL TO WIN'). Below that row is a 5x4 grid (20 cards) shown face-down with the InOut logo watermark on every card back. The player reveals cards either by clicking/tapping individual cards, or by repeatedly pressing the GO button (each GO press flips one random still-hidden card). The round ends automatically, and all remaining hidden cards flip open at once, the instant three cards on the grid show the same symbol — a 'YOU WIN!' toast appears with the dollar amount, and 'LAST WIN' updates in the bottom bar.",

    "guaranteed_win": "The splash (preview.png) and in-game copy print 'ALWAYS WIN GUARANTEED'; How to play? step 7 (rules_p2.png) states verbatim: 'Guaranteed win. Losing is impossible in Chicken-Banana. Every round is guaranteed to end with a 3-symbol match and a payout.' Every observed round (36 logged in My bet history) ended with a positive win, consistent with this claim.",
    "round_tier_selection": "How to play? step 2 (rules_p2.png) states verbatim: 'Press the PLAY button to launch the round. Five random symbols will appear and fix in the upper field.' Confirmed visually: the 5-symbol strip above the grid changes composition every round (compare base_game_round.png: banana/banana-pair/bucket/banana-bunch/FS vs base_game_new_round.png: banana/bucket/banana/banana-bunch/BONUS vs win_screen_bonus_visible.png: banana/banana-pair/banana/banana-bunch/BONUS).",

You can open cards manually by tapping them or use the GO button to reveal a random card automatically.' Both modes observed in captured frames (manual reveals show partially-opened grids like base_game_new_round.png; GO/Space triggers a full-deck flip animation, see win_screen_toast.png showing all 20 cards mid-flip)."

    "Win/loss is never conveyed by color alone: a winning match is marked simultaneously by (a) a gold glowing border drawn only around the 3 matched cards, (b) identical icon artwork repeated in exactly those 3 positions, and (c) an explicit text toast reading 'YOU WIN! $<amount>' plus the numeric 'LAST WIN' readout — position/shape/text redundancy covers users who cannot distinguish the gold glow from the surrounding purple.",
    "The 5 base tiers (single banana / banana pair / bucket / banana bunch / large bunch) are distinguished purely by silhouette/shape (peeled vs unpeeled, count of bananas, presence of a bucket) and by an explicit printed dollar figure under each icon, not by hue — all base tiers share the same yellow/orange/brown palette family, so shape+text carries the meaning rather than color.",
    "The 3 jackpot tiers (MINI/MAJOR/MEGA) are additionally distinguished by an explicit gold text banner reading the tier name baked into the icon art, so the name is legible even for a user who cannot separate the tiers by their card-background glow intensity.",
    "The GO/PLAY button changes its text label ('GO' vs a triangle glyph) and the status line above it changes text content ('PRESS PLAY TO START' vs 'Tap cards or press GO to reveal') between states, not merely a color/icon swap, giving a redundant textual cue to the current mode.",
    "Toggle switches in the burger menu (Sound/Music/Space-to-spin) use both position (left=off, right=on) and a stronger fill color (greyed vs green) — position redundancy covers red-green color-vision differences."
