    "not_a_reel_slot": "This game has NO reels, NO paying symbols, NO paylines/ways, and NO free spins feature. It is a track/ring accumulator instant-win game built around three concentric multiplier rings (Fire=red/outer, Earth=green/middle, Water=blue/inner) plus a central element wheel. A spin advances (or resets) the rings depending on which element the wheel lands on; the player banks accumulated progress with Cashout or Part Cashout buttons. There is no paytable of symbol combinations to document -- the 'paytable' in this game is a per-track, per-step multiplier ladder, transcribed in full below.",
    "theme": "Elemental/mystical: Fire, Water and Earth forces personified as a red flame, a blue water droplet and a green leaf, arranged as three concentric progress rings around a central spinning element wheel. Dark, moody sci-fantasy color scheme rather than a literal scene/setting.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 25 manifest screenshots (1280x800 desktop) plus zoomed crops used to verify small icons, button states and ring-marker details.",
    "method_notes": "Read every manifest frame directly (vision) and cross-checked numeric/text claims against zoomed crops. All multipliers/percentages are transcribed only where legible on-screen; nothing is inferred beyond what the rules text or a settled (non-animating) status-bar figure states. The 'Part Cashout' payout formula stated in the rules text is ambiguous in prose, so it was independently re-derived from two separate on-screen numeric examples (see mechanic.part_cashout.derived_formula) -- both derivations agree exactly.",
    "language": "English",
    "provider_evidence": "Boot/loading screen wordmark reads 'BGaming' (frame _burst/splash_00.png per manifest studio_evidence). A small square badge with a black letter 'B' on a bright yellow/gold background (BGaming mark) is present in the extreme top-left corner of every in-game screen (e.g. base_game.png, approx. (5,5)-(40,40))."

    "ring_fire_outer": "Crimson/red arc (the lit portion of the Fire track); the unlit remainder of the same ring shows as dark charcoal-grey with thin light-grey tick marks and pale grey step-value labels.",
    "ring_earth_middle": "Bright green arc (the lit portion of the Earth track); unlit remainder dark charcoal-grey with pale grey labels, same as above.",
    "ring_water_inner": "Sky-blue/cyan arc (the lit portion of the Water track); unlit remainder dark charcoal-grey.",
    "element_icons": "Small circular badges stacked at 12 o'clock, one per ring: a red circle with a white flame glyph (Fire), a dark-green circle with a pale green leaf glyph (Earth), a blue circle with a white water-drop glyph (Water). Each badge has a thin colored ring border matching its track color.",
    "center_wheel": "A large circular medallion in the middle of the rings that displays the element the wheel most recently landed on: red circle + white flame icon (Fire), green/teal circle + leaf icon (Earth) [inferred by symmetry with the others, not directly captured landing], blue circle + water-drop icon (Water), or a flat grey circle with a grey stylised wind/swirl icon (Neutral, the default idle state before any spin has been made).",
    "spin_button": "Large filled gold/yellow circle with a black double-curved-arrow ('refresh'/redo) icon in the middle, bottom-right of the screen.",
    "autoplay_icon": "A dark circle outlined in white/grey containing a white letter 'A', to the left of the spin button.",
    "turbo_icon": "A small white lightning-bolt glyph on the dark background, to the right of the spin button.",

    "win_popup": "A centered dark rounded rectangle / or full-screen dim overlay showing large white 'WIN!' text, three glowing circular element icons (red flame, green leaf, blue droplet) each lit with a colored outer glow, a large white credited amount in 'FUN', and the multiplier (e.g. '16.55x') underneath in smaller white text.",
    "settings_panel_accents": "Gold/yellow horizontal volume sliders (Sound FX, Music) with a white circular handle; a white circular toggle knob for 'Quick play' on a dark track (off = knob at left, dark track; on-state not captured).",
    "colorblind_notes": "The three tracks are distinguished by BOTH color (red/green/blue) AND fixed screen position (Fire always outermost/top icon, Earth always middle, Water always innermost/bottom icon) AND by distinct icon shape (flame / leaf / droplet) AND by the numeric step-multiplier text printed directly on each arc -- so color-blind users are not solely dependent on hue to tell tracks apart. The Skull (violet, 'all tracks back one step') and Joker (element identity/color not confirmed on any captured frame, see unreadable_or_uncertain) landing results were never captured on the center wheel, so their color/shape redundancy could not be verified directly."

A central element wheel spins on each 'spin' action and lands on one of six outcomes, each of which affects the tracks differently. Progress can be banked at any time (Cashout) or partially banked while continuing to play (Part Cashout).

Sum of diffs = 16.5+8+5.15 = 29.65. Bet 2.00 x 29.65 = 59.30 FUN, exactly matching the amount printed on the 'Part Cashout, FUN 59.30' button in that same frame.

      "preview_p4.png mislabel: the manifest lists preview_p4.png as carousel 'page 4/4' with the Cashout/Part Cashout explainer text and dot 4 lit. Direct pixel inspection shows preview_p4.png actually displays PAGE 1 content (dot 1 lit, 'Spin the wheel and boost your multiplier...' text) -- identical to preview_p3.png. The genuine page-4 content (Cashout/Part Cashout explainer, dot 4 lit) is instead found in the untracked stray file preview_p2.png. The manifest's own anomalies entry describes this backwards, calling preview_p2.png 'a leftover duplicate of preview_p4.png's page 4' -- but preview_p4.png does not contain page-4 content at all; it is preview_p2.png that holds it, and preview_p4.png is the actual duplicate (of page 1). Documented in the screens section above using the corrected mapping.",
      "Fire-track Bonus Game reward range: the manifest note for rules_p6.png says 'random multiplier 100x-999x' for the red track. The prose paragraph on that same page actually reads '10x to 999x' (verified twice by direct read, rules_p6.png and its repeat on rules_p7.png), while the separate PAYTABLE TABLE on rules_p8.png/rules_p9.png prints 'BONUS (100x - 999x)'. So the manifest note matches only the table half of an internal 10x-vs-100x conflict that exists within the game's own two texts -- not a manifest-vs-pixel error, but worth surfacing since it was stated as a single unambiguous fact in the manifest.",
      "water_auto_cashout.png Part Cashout/Cashout button amounts were not stated in the manifest note at all; they were independently read and used to reverse-engineer and cross-verify the exact Part Cashout formula (see mechanic.part_cashout.derived_formula) -- this is a positive addition rather than a conflict, noted here for traceability."

They do not match the described appearance of any of the six wheel outcomes and are most likely static decorative ring dividers or start-position pointers, but this is not confirmed.",
