Verified by zoomed crop of base_game.png top-left logo badge and of preview.png center wordmark - identical rendering in both places.)",
    "name_full_official": "Grand Patron Change&Chance (verbatim from rules_p1.png body text: 'Grand Patron Change&Chance is a 5-reel video slot with additional horizontal top and bottom reels, Wild symbols, special game features and Bonus game.'). This exact spelling - 'CHANGE & CHANCE', not the compact logo's 'CHANCE' alone - is independently confirmed by a second source: a vertical marquee text repeating along the RIGHT edge of every in-game screen (rotated 90 degrees, reads top-to-bottom): 'GRAND PATRON CHANGE & CHANCE'. Verified myself with a tall zoomed crop of base_game.png x=1255-1280,y=15-400 (upscaled x6) reading clearly 'RAND PATRON CHANGE & CHANC[E]' with the leading 'G' cut by the crop edge, then a full repeat starting again. The LEFT edge of the same screen carries no text, only decorative foliage and the BGaming corner mark - the marquee is right-edge only.",
    "name_discrepancy_note": "The compact in-game logo badge and the preview splash both print only 'CHANCE' (word intact, second C stylized as a die). The formal/legal name used in the rules text and the right-edge marquee is 'Grand Patron Change&Chance' / 'GRAND PATRON CHANGE & CHANCE' - i.e. the word 'CHANGE' (a real English word, distinct from 'CHANCE') is prepended and joined with '&'. This is not a typo on our part - both spellings are genuinely printed by the game in different places. Catalog entry 'Grand Patron' is a further-shortened form of both.",

A cast of five recurring cartel-boss-type male portrait characters (all middle-aged men, dark hair, mustaches/beards, collared shirts) framed as 'wanted'-poster-style mugshots behind jail bars on two special reels above and below the main grid. Item symbols are cartel paraphernalia: cash/drug bricks wrapped in paper with red tape, cigar boxes, a handgun, an old brick-style mobile phone, and a cannabis leaf. The WILD is a vintage propeller biplane silhouetted against a desert sunset (a smuggling-flight motif also visible flying in the far background of every gameplay screen). The BONUS/scatter is a gold police/sheriff-style badge medallion reading 'BONUS'.",
    "setting": "A fenced prison-yard / smuggler's compound at dusk: cracked grey stone-and-concrete pillars flank the reel frame, topped by electricity-pylon-style steel scaffolding towers connected by sagging power lines; AK-47-style rifles lean against camouflage ammo crates at both bottom corners; a watchtower silhouette and a small biplane are visible in the distant background; sky is a warm sunset gradient from deep purple at the top through pink to orange near the horizon, with silhouetted palm fronds overhanging the top corners of the screen.",

The first glyph is stylised: at low magnification it reads as a capital T, but at 8x zoom it shows a horizontal top bar with a stroke running down-left from its RIGHT end, which is the digit 7 (a capital T would have a centred stem). Confirmed externally: 7RINGS GAMING LIMITED, Cyprus, founded 2025, with its own site and a SlotCatalog studio page. The credit is visible only for the first seconds of loading.",
    "name": "Grand Patron",
    "name_choice_note": "Wordmark for the generated logo uses the plain catalogue title. The two in-game spellings disagree with each other - the compact logo reads GRAND PATRON CHANCE while the rules text and the right-edge marquee read Grand Patron Change and Chance - so committing the logo to either full form would assert a resolution the game itself does not give. Both variants are documented above."

Every other in-game screen (base_game and all 19 paytable pages included) prints 'LINES 20' on BOTH pillars with no '1024' anywhere. Conclusion: '1024' is a leftover/unswapped template graphic in the splash artwork (most likely copied from a different, ways-based BGaming build during production) and NOT a live mechanic of this game.
