Reels are set inside a glossy blue metallic slot-machine cabinet frame. Symbols are cartoon hockey characters (referee, team captain, goalie, defenseman) and hockey-branded card ranks (A/K/Q/J styled as colored jersey-like cards), a silver championship trophy WILD ('LEAGUE CUP') and a black hockey puck SCATTER.",

Multipliers of full bet were computed by dividing the printed dollar payout by $1.80 and rounding to two decimals; exact repeating-decimal values are noted in each symbol's 'note'. Numbers not legible anywhere are explicitly flagged in 'unreadable_or_uncertain' and not invented. The capturer's manifest note claiming 'no paytable/rules screen exists' is INCORRECT for this build — the round 'i' information button opens a full 6-page booklet (page 1 = paytable, pages 2-6 = rules), which was captured and is fully documented below.",
