This frame shows an unusual reel-1 rendering with what appears to be 4 stacked cat-symbol boxes plus 2 '10' symbols in a single column (likely a mid-settle/idle rendering artifact rather than the true resting layout - see 'anomalies') and a clearly visible SCATTER symbol (gold skull-and-crossbones medallion, 'SCATTER' gold text) on reel 3.",
      "base_game_win_infective_trigger.png": "A natural (non-bought) base-game spin showing a paid line win: 'WIN $2.00', with a small win-line breakdown at the bottom showing 'J J J [cat/wild icon]' and text 'LINE 9 PAYS $2.00'. Simultaneously, a cat symbol on reel 4 is shown mid-transformation into a WILD (glowing orange/yellow eyes, 'WILD' caption in glowing turquoise text) directly adjacent to an already-settled WILD symbol on reel 5 - direct visual proof that the Infective Wild mechanic fires during ordinary base-game spins, not only in Free Spins."

Feature state (Free Spins remaining, current win, buy-bonus price) is always presented as on-screen text in addition to iconography.",
    "motor": "Large round click targets; the central SPIN button is the largest single target. SPACE/ENTER also spin (keyboard-operable); holding SPACE engages turbo spin. Autoplay (with a configurable spin count and a 'SKIP SCREENS' option) reduces the number of required clicks for extended play.",
    "color_blind": "Most affordances are non-color-dependent: nav arrows are distinguished by shape/direction, toggle switches by handle position as well as fill color, confirm/cancel dialogs by checkmark vs X glyph as well as green/red, and payline/feature numbers are printed as high-contrast text/numerals rather than relying on color coding. Residual risk: the WILD-transformation glow (magenta/pink) and sticky-WILD highlight rely partly on color, but are also always accompanied by the literal text caption 'WILD' during the transition and by the symbol's distinctive jack-o'-lantern shape once settled.",

    "Exact minimum number of SCATTER symbols required to trigger Free Spins is not explicitly printed in the captured rules text (paytable_p2.png only says 'a random number of free spins is awarded' before the round starts); the scatter symbol's reel-restricted placement (reels 1, 3, 5 only) suggests a conventional 3-scatter trigger but this specific number is not confirmed on-screen.",
    "The Free Spins award-reveal rules text states 'a grid of 3x3 reels' (9 cells), but only 8 bonus-reel cells are visible in the captured reveal screenshots (fs_reveal_grid.png / fs_reveal_total.png), arranged 3-3-2; a possible 9th cell may be hidden behind the character artwork on the right edge of the frame and was not confirmed.",
    "Relationship between the win-tier splash screens' stone-plaque dollar figure and the bottom-bar 'WIN $X' readout is unclear/inconsistent across tiers (see features.win_tier_celebration_screens.uncertainty_note) - not asserted as a running total.",
    "Individual paths of the 40 numbered paylines shown on paytable_p3.png are rendered as very small thumbnail diagrams and are not legible enough to trace/transcribe cell-by-cell.",
    "Whether an 'INTRO SCREEN' toggle exists in the System Settings panel (described in rules_p6/rules_p5 text) but not visible in the captured settings.png frame - not confirmed (may require scrolling within the panel, which was not attempted since only 3 toggles were visible without any scroll affordance shown).",
    "Reel-1 rendering anomaly in base_game.png and base_game_spin_result.png (symbols shown inside individual bordered picture-frame boxes, and in base_game_spin_result.png an apparently repeated/stacked run of cat symbols) is treated as a transient reel-settle rendering state, not a documented game rule - per-spin reel contents are random and not enumerated as a game property in any case.",
    "No preview/splash screen was captured for this slot (see manifest 'not_captured' - demo auto-enters base_game); any max-win/volatility badge that might normally appear on a splash screen was instead sourced from the in-game paytable pages, which is considered a reliable substitute source.",
    "Demo starting CREDIT balance shown as $100,000.00 on some screens is the platform default demo credit, not a documented game property."
