A red-haired female warrior commands four species of dragons — red, green, and blue — in a realm of fiery skies, dark mountain ranges, and a large luminous moon. Warm amber-orange dusk tones dominate the base game; the Free Spins round shifts to a cooler, darker night atmosphere.",

The sky transitions from warm orange-amber at the lower horizon to deep navy blue at the top. Two large wing-like shapes flank the sides of the outer frame (red/orange dragon wings on left, teal-trimmed reel border with purple dragon wing element on right).",

However, in free_spins_p3.png, a small round red/gold symbol is visible on reel 5 row 2 that could be a '10' royal or another symbol (possibly Dragon Kingdom WILD crest partially visible). Insufficient clarity to confirm a 5th royal.",
      "recommendation": "Zoom into free_spins_p3.png reel 5, row 2 (approx x=975 to x=1235, y=315 to y=530) for a definitive read. Most likely: 4 royals only (A, K, Q, J), consistent with paytable page 1 showing exactly 4 columns in the royal row."

      "item": "Exact appearance of Scatter symbol in base game (vs. FS reels)",
      "reason": "Paytable page 2 shows the scatter as the glowing orange 'FREE SPINS' text image. Gameplay screenshots show a golden gate arch symbol as the scatter. These are likely the same symbol with different rendering detail levels — the arch IS the scatter, with 'FREE SPINS' text overlaid on or near it. Unable to fully confirm from available captures since no base-game scatter landing was captured.",
      "recommendation": "Capture a base-game scatter landing to confirm the combined arch+text appearance at reel scale."

    {
      "item": "Number of total FS played in captured session",
      "reason": "The win screen states 'IN 5 FREE SPINS' but the FS session included a retrigger (+3 FS). The total spins actually played appears to have been 8 (5 initial + 3 retrigger). The win screen text may refer to the initial grant only, not the total played.",
      "recommendation": "Standard PP behavior: win screen shows 'IN X FREE SPINS' where X = the initial grant, not the total played with retriggers. Confirm by checking multiple FS sessions."
