A cartoon frog whose head/back is wreathed in orange fire is the central character (the 'Fire Frog' wild); a plain gold-colored frog (the 'Gold Frog' wild) sits beside it in the paytable art. The playing symbols are six colors of lotus flower sitting on green lily pads. Overall mood is bright, warm and family-friendly, not dark or menacing.",
    "art_style": "Flat/semi-flat 2D cartoon illustration with soft cel-shading and rounded, glossy highlights (typical casual mobile-game look); thick dark outlines on the wordmark letters and on the frog/flower icons; bright, saturated daylight palette (teals, oranges, pinks, purples, greens) with no dark backgrounds or dramatic/cinematic lighting; top-down/flat view of the reel grid, front-facing character art for the frog symbols; cheerful, whimsical, non-realistic rendering (no photorealism, no gritty textures).",

    "symbol_colors": "Six lotus-flower colors, from highest to lowest paying: red, orange, pink, purple, green, blue. Each has a matching-color glossy petal fill with a darker shade at the base and a bright highlight near the center; all sit on the same bright-green lily pad shape.",

    "free_spins_and_win_screens": "Free Games trigger and win-screen backgrounds shift to a darker, more saturated blue (versus the lighter teal of the base game) with small glowing yellow-green firefly-like sparkle particles floating in the background. 'CONGRATULATIONS' banner is a magenta/purple ribbon with gold text; the win amount is large gold-yellow 3D text on a bright white radial glow.",

Residual risk: the three lowest-paying symbols (purple/green/blue lotus buds) are identical in shape and pay value, distinguished ONLY by hue — a strongly color-blind player would need to rely on the shape difference versus the higher-tier open flowers, but could not distinguish purple from green from blue among themselves by anything but color; since all three pay identically this has no practical payout impact, only a symbol-identification impact.",
