A wooden mine-shaft support frame with rope lashings forms the outer border of every screen; background is a dark, warm-lit cave/mine tunnel with glowing orange rock veins and scattered gold nuggets along the bottom edge.

OCR output on this game is noisy (heavy stylised fonts, wood-grain background, rivets/decorations produce garbage tokens) but reliably confirms every dollar figure and heading text seen visually; OCR text is included verbatim per screen below as ground truth alongside the vision reading. Zoomed crops (scripts/zoom.py) were used to verify the prospector portrait symbol and the dynamite-bundle top-prize icon pixel-for-pixel.

    "color_blind": "Prize values use a single fixed green color for text regardless of amount (amount is conveyed by the digits, not color-coding by tier) -- the sole exception is the top $250,000 tier, which is distinguished by a UNIQUE ICON (dynamite bundle) and gold/orange lettering rather than by color alone, which is a good non-color cue. The one genuine risk found is the reddish-orange 'win glow' highlight behind matched cells (win_screen_match3.png) -- but this is backed up by duplicate text ('WIN $X.XX'/'TOTAL WIN $X.XX') and by the matching printed digits themselves, so no information is color-only.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No audio-only information was observed on any captured screen; AMBIENT and SOUND FX are separately toggleable and purely decorative/musical (settings.png). All game state (tickets left, win amounts, credit) is shown as on-screen text."
  },

  "unreadable_or_uncertain": [
    "Volatility: not stated anywhere in the 8 captured screens (no text, no icon) -- not guessed, left absent per anti-hallucination rule.",
    "A single fixed RTP percentage: the game only states a RANGE ('71.72% - 79.69%'), not one number; both bounds are read verbatim from paytable.png OCR and vision.",
    "Whether the $1,000.00 (tier 4) value is ever shown as a revealed cell on any of the 4 gameplay/win frames captured -- it appears only in the static paytable list, not on any revealed card in this screenshot set.",
    "The exact object held by the prospector portrait diagonally in front of his body (rifle barrel vs. a second tool handle) -- grayscale rendering and small size make this ambiguous even at x3 zoom; described neutrally as 'a long wooden-handled tool'.",
    "Whether a manual/gradual scratching animation exists when SCRATCH! is pressed on a single (non-autoplay) ticket -- the captured frames show only the 'before' (fully closed) and 'after' (fully revealed) states; no partial-scratch animation frame was captured.",
    "Whether AUTOPLAY has any configurable options (number of tickets, speed, skip-screens) before starting -- no separate autoplay-configuration dialog was found in the captured set; based on tl_gate1_notes the AUTOPLAY button appears to run through the already-purchased package directly without a config screen, but this absence itself is reported under not_captured/anomalies by the capture team, not asserted here as fully proven."

  "not_captured_or_confirmed_absent": [
    "A dedicated 'rules'/'how to play' screen or button distinct from PAYTABLE -- checked and confirmed absent by the capture team (top bar has no separate 'i'/rules icon; settings dropdown has no rules text); all rule text that exists is on the PAYTABLE screen already documented above.",
    "An AUTOPLAY configuration dialog (spins count / turbo / skip screens) -- confirmed absent; AUTOPLAY appears to directly resume/complete the already-purchased ticket package."
