    "category_note": "This is a SCRATCHCARD (instant-win ticket game), NOT a reel slot. There are no reels, paylines, spins, free spins, wild/scatter symbols, or bonus buy in the slot-machine sense. Gameplay is: buy a pack of scratch tickets, reveal a fixed 3x3 grid of 9 covered cells per ticket in one instant action, and win if 3 of the 9 revealed cells show the same value. Documented here as: purchase mechanic (ticket packs), scratch/reveal mechanic, the 10-tier prize table, and the win/loss/freeplay outcomes.",
    "theme": "African safari. A single adult male lion (golden-brown mane, amber/gold fur, calm forward-facing pose looking to the right) stands in profile on the left side of every screen, rendered photorealistically against a warm orange sunset savanna background (blurred grass in the foreground, silhouettes of acacia/palm-like trees and what appear to be grazing animals in the distant haze, and a bright glowing sun low on the horizon on the right side of the screen).",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) from 7 curated desktop screenshots (1280x800) covering purchase, paytable, settings, a covered ticket, a cash-win reveal, a freeplay-win reveal, and a losing reveal.",
    "method_notes": "All numeric values (prize tiers, ticket prices, RTP range, credit amounts) were read directly and confirmed by visual inspection at full resolution / zoom; OCR (tesseract) timed out on several frames under system load, so values below are grounded in direct visual reading of the screenshots, not OCR output. Nothing below is inferred or guessed; anything not clearly legible is listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain'.",

  "color_palette": {
    "background": "Warm orange-to-gold sunset gradient (African savanna sky and grass) across the full screen edges, brightest around a glowing white-yellow sun on the right side of the screen.",
    "left_panel": "Same warm orange background behind the game logo and the standing lion photo; a dark maroon/burgundy 'PAYTABLE' button with a gold border sits below the lion.",
    "central_panel": "Deep purple/indigo rectangular panel with a thin gold/ochre Ancient-Egyptian-style geometric (meander/key-pattern) border frame; gold corner ornaments (small square medallions with a swirl motif) at each of the 4 corners.",
    "panel_text": "Headings and highlighted values in bright gold/yellow with a red-orange 3D outline (matches the game logo style); regular list text in white; 'save 5%' / 'save 10%' labels in gold; the top prize value ($50,000.00) rendered in gold/yellow, all other prize values in white/light grey.",
    "bottom_bar": "Dark navy-blue horizontal bar across the very bottom of the screen holding CREDIT (and, in the ticket-reveal screens, TOTAL WIN and WIN) figures in white/yellow bold text with a thin gold top border.",
    "buttons": "Maroon/dark-red buttons with a gold border and gold beveled 3D text (BUY NOW, SCRATCH!, AUTOPLAY, PLAY NEXT, BUY MORE TICKETS, PAYTABLE, BACK) consistently reused across screens.",
    "logo": "'HOT' and 'SAFARI' stacked in bold yellow/gold letters with a thick red-orange outline and dark drop shadow, sitting on a purple ribbon banner; below it the top-prize amount '50,000' in yellow/gold on a dark navy ribbon.",
    "covered_ticket_cells": "Nine identical monochrome sepia/gold-toned lion-face icons tiling the 3x3 grid before reveal, separated by thin gold grid lines, inside the same gold-and-purple ornamental frame used elsewhere."

    "summary": "Before playing, the player buys one or more scratch tickets ('games') from a purchase panel titled 'BUY CARDS TO PLAY!'. Each ticket purchased yields one 3x3 scratchcard to reveal.

No TOTAL WIN/WIN readout is shown in the bottom bar; only CREDIT is shown, and a 'PLAY NEXT' button is offered (no 'BUY MORE TICKETS' button, since tickets remain in the pack — 'TICKETS LEFT' shows 4).",
    "post_reveal_navigation": "After a ticket is revealed (win or lose), a maroon button appears bottom-right: 'BUY MORE TICKETS' when the pack is exhausted (0 tickets left) or 'PLAY NEXT' when tickets remain in the purchased pack; an 'AUTOPLAY' button is also present below it (greyed/disabled-looking on the freeplay/loss screens in these captures, active-styled on the cash-win screen).",

The center cell is a FREEPLAY icon rather than a cash value, so only two '$5.00' cells align in this snapshot; the game registers a $5.00 win (see match rule note — exact matched trio not fully disambiguated from the single frame, but the paid amount is explicit). 'TICKETS LEFT' still reads 0. Bottom bar adds two new fields versus the covered screen: 'TOTAL WIN $5.00' and 'WIN $5.00', and CREDIT has risen to $100,004.50.

An AUTOPLAY option is present to further reduce required clicks (its exact settings screen was not captured in this set).",
    "color_blind": "All monetary values are plain numeral text (not color-coded), and the Freeplay award is marked by a distinct icon and the word 'FREEPLAY' printed directly on the cell rather than by color alone. The one residual color-only-adjacent cue is the gold/yellow styling of the top prize figure ($50,000.00) versus white/grey styling of lower tiers, but this is reinforced by position (top row of the prize table / numerically largest value) and by matching the game's own logo figure.",
