Autoplay with 'Skip Screens' reduces most required clicks, EXCEPT the Pick Me/Eliminator Bonus and the Rainbow Road Bonus's own mini slot, both of which REQUIRE manual clicks even during Autoplay (Autoplay pauses and waits) — this is an important motor-accessibility caveat: users who cannot click precisely will be blocked mid-feature until they do.",
    "color_blind": "Most controls use white icon glyphs on dark circles (shape-based, not color-coded). Settings toggles use handle POSITION (left/right) as a non-color cue in addition to grey/green track color. Autoplay checkboxes use a white check-mark shape, not color alone. Residual risk: the 5 royal/high symbols (A/K/Q/J/10, plus the three mini-slot-bonus 777 colors) are differentiated primarily by hue (purple/orange/gold/blue/green, and red/gold/blue 777s) with the LETTER/NUMBER or '7' shape providing a secondary non-color cue — legible without color for players who can read the printed character/digit. The Rainbow Road map highlights the current position by switching the numeral's color (gold to pink/magenta) — this is a color-only cue with no shape/position redundancy other than the marker generally being at a different point along the path than before, which is not a strong non-color signal on a static screenshot.",

    "Arithmetic reconciliation of the Rainbow Road Bonus outcome: the BIG MONEY mini slot displayed '70x' in rainbow_road_bonus_bigmoney.png, but the final MEGA WIN screen showed '$82.60' at a $2.00 bet (41.3x) — the discrepancy is not explained by the captured frames and is reported as-is, not resolved by guesswork.",
