    "art_style": "Traditional hand-painted/airbrushed 2D casino slot illustration (semi-realistic, not cartoonish or flat-vector): soft airbrush shading on skin, wood and fabric, painterly human portraits, static painted artwork with no 3D rendering, no cel-shaded outlines. Warm saturated desert-sunset palette (deep red/maroon sky, brown rock silhouettes) behind the base-game reels; a cooler, brighter daylight palette (pale blue sky, white clouds, tan rock) behind the free-spins reels. Symbols are painted on tan parchment/hide plaques bound with rope, set inside a rough-hewn wooden-log reel frame. Overall mood: classic retro land-based/online slot machine aesthetic, not modern or cinematic.",
    "theme": "Native American ('Indian') Old West desert theme: a tribal chief, a native woman, a war-painted warrior, a buffalo, a tomahawk, playing-card letters rendered as lashed wooden logs, a dreamcatcher-styled WILD medallion and a totem-pole/thunderbird BONUS/scatter symbol. Title wordmark 'INDIAN CASH CATCHER' has a small multi-colored feather ornament growing out of the top of the letter 'I'.",

Numbers are taken verbatim from on-screen text; items that could not be read with certainty are listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain' and not invented.",

Zoomed crops (scripts/zoom.py) were used to confirm the exact colors/shapes of the three symbols used in logo_refs.json. Where this documentation's reading of a frame differs from the capturer's manifest note (e.g. free-spins background color, free-spins-remaining counter value), the discrepancy is called out explicitly and this document reports what is actually visible on the pixel image.",

NOTE: this contradicts the capturer's manifest note describing the free-spins background as a 'purple sunset'; the captured frames (free_spins_entry.png, free_spins_bigwin_retrigger.png, free_spins_play.png, win_screen.png) clearly show a blue daytime sky, not purple/violet.",

    "colorblind_notes": "Most state changes are conveyed redundantly by TEXT and NUMBERS rather than color alone: the WAYS count is printed as the literal number '243', jackpot values are printed digits, the free-spins counter is a printed number, and the BET MAX/feature-triggered dialogs are full sentences. The four letter symbols (A/K/Q/J) are distinguished primarily by their SHAPE (the letterform itself) with rope color as a secondary, non-essential cue, so they remain distinguishable to color-blind users. The two different native-portrait symbols (chief vs. war-painted man) are distinguished by facial features, headdress and card BORDER COLOR (pink/red vs. green); since payouts differ, a color-blind player could in principle confuse them by color alone, but the differing hairstyle/headdress and skin-tone/face-paint patterns provide a non-color cue."
