No '10' row exists anywhere in this list, and there is no visible gap or cut-off suggesting one was omitted from the crop.",
      "The '10' tile was checked against every real gameplay screenshot available (base_game.png, base_game_win.png, all 7 bonus_* screenshots, win_screen.png) - it never appears on an actual spun reel across roughly a dozen distinct game states.",
      "Visually the '10' tile reuses the same gold carved diamond/rune outline as the real 'Q' symbol (just with '10' engraved instead of 'Q'), consistent with a generic stock 'royal card' reel-mockup asset that BGaming/its asset pipeline may reuse across multiple titles' generic feature-explainer diagrams, independent of each specific game's actual finalized symbol set."

      "conclusion": "Paytable currency values scale LINEARLY and DIRECTLY with Total Bet, with NO hidden division by ways-count/line-count applied to the printed figures themselves. The 'bet per way' language in the rules does not translate into an extra divisor visible from the outside - it cancels out algebraically between the anchor printing and any other bet size, so the printed paytable numbers (scaled by simple bet ratio) ARE the correct per-tier currency values to record for any given bet."
