    "art_style": "Flat-shaded 2D vector/cartoon illustration with bold black outlines and glossy specular highlights on the objects (ball, boots, gloves, whistle look like polished 3D-rendered product shots pasted onto flat vector background tiles). Bright, saturated, high-contrast palette (electric blue, orange, teal, green, purple). Daytime/artificial-floodlight stadium backdrop, no dark or moody lighting. Overall mood is energetic, casual, arcade-sports style aimed at a broad casual audience, not photorealistic and not gritty/cinematic. Camera/viewpoint on the reels is straight-on/front-facing; the stadium background symbol and the main game backdrop are rendered in a shallow perspective looking down the pitch toward the stands.",

The TL flagged this as wrong and it has been corrected here: with a fixed number of positions, per_line and total_bet differ only by a constant factor, and normalising the tier by the anchor bet cancels that factor - so the arithmetic (2.50/5.00 x 10.00 = 5.00, matching the printed win) predicts the SAME number under either hypothesis at any bet, anchor-equal or not. The anchor (‡5.00) differing from the win-frame bet (‡10.00) only avoids the D-197 degenerate-measurement LINTER trip; it adds no actual evidence distinguishing the two hypotheses.

Per direct TL correction, this arithmetic does NOT distinguish the two hypotheses (they differ only by a constant factor that cancels out when normalising by the anchor bet), regardless of whether the anchor bet equals the win-frame bet. The total_bet VALUE itself is still correct - the reasoning was wrong, not the conclusion.

Large white bold italic text 'BIG WIN' in the upper-left/centre area, with the numeric amount '0.25' beneath it in a slightly smaller matching bold italic white/light-blue style. On the right side, a large photorealistic white-and-black football is shown bursting through a white net, with gold coin icons (each bearing a small football emblem) scattered around it, some mid-fall. A red circular 'skip/fast-forward' button (double chevron icon) sits bottom-centre to dismiss the screen. Evidence: win_screen.png.",

    "Only 5 symbols exist in total, and 3 of the 5 (Wild/ball, Whistle, Gloves) carry small embossed/printed decorative text baked into their artwork ('Football' ribbon on the ball, 'Football Sport' engraving on the whistle, 'GK10' tag on the gloves), visible only under strong zoom (8x). This affected which symbols were usable as clean logo references (see logo_refs.json).",

    "screen_reader": "All numeric game state (BET, BET LEVEL, COIN, BALANCE, WIN) is presented as printed text on the UI bar, not solely via icon/colour, and should map cleanly to text-to-speech. The two currency glyphs ('‡' demo token vs '€' jackpot pool) are visually distinct shapes and should be verbalised with distinct names, not both read as 'currency sign', to avoid implying the jackpot value is spendable player balance.",
    "colorblind": "Each of the 5 symbols is doubly coded by BOTH a unique silhouette/shape (ball/stadium-scene/boots/hand-shaped gloves/whistle) AND a unique flat background tile colour (orange/none-photographic/teal/green/purple), so colour-only confusion between symbols is unlikely. Winning rows/columns are marked with a white/cyan glow outline (shape-based highlight, not colour-only).",
    "hearing": "Sound toggles ('Sound - Ambient', 'Sound - Effects') are exposed in the settings menu and default to ON; no game information observed to be conveyed by audio alone without an on-screen textual/visual equivalent (win amounts, feature triggers and jackpot tickers are all also shown as text/graphics).",
    "motor": "All controls are large, clearly separated rounded buttons on the bottom bar with a generous hit area; SPIN can also be triggered by the space bar (Help, rules_p9.png: 'Space bar can be used to spin the reels' / 'Space bar can be used to stop the reels'), which is helpful for users who find precise mouse clicks difficult. Auto Play with configurable stop conditions (balance-decrease / single-win-exceeds limits) reduces the need for repetitive manual spin-clicking."
