    "theme": "Chinese mahjong table: ivory mahjong tiles with traditional suit motifs (dots/circles, bamboo sticks, character glyphs) cascading on a green felt playing surface, framed by warm reddish-brown lacquered-wood banners. Lucky/prosperity iconography throughout: gold ingots (sycee), gold coins, red-and-gold calligraphy.",
    "art_style": "Flat-shaded 2D mobile-casual illustration with a soft bevel and drop-shadow giving objects a gentle raised relief, stopping well short of photoreal 3D rendering. Bright saturated daylight, even and cheerful, with no dramatic rim light, neon or cinematic darkness. Clean thick outlines, rounded shapes, warm gold-red-and-jade Chinese New Year colour scheme. Overall mood upbeat, festive and prosperous.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) built from 26 desktop-captured but PORTRAIT (760x1360) screenshots, the two DOM info panels read verbatim via document.body.innerText, and zoomed crops of every paytable symbol.",
    "method_notes": "Symbol identities/colors verified with 3x zoomed crops of the paytable icons (scripts/zoom.py). All mechanic numbers (ways count, bet formula, multiplier ladders, free-spin trigger/award, gold-plated-to-wild rule) are taken VERBATIM from the in-game Paytable (13 DOM pages) and Game Rules (15 DOM pages) panels, which are near-duplicates of each other and cross-confirm one another word-for-word. Bet limits (0.60 / 180.00) and the reel grid (5x4, 1024 fixed ways) were independently MEASURED by the tech-lead (button-mashing to the hard stop / scene-node counting) and are recorded in manifest.json as bet_limits_verified/reel_layout; this document treats those as ground truth and does not re-derive them. RTP and max-win are NOT printed anywhere in this build (confirmed by reading both panels in full via the DOM) and are honestly recorded as unknown below, per the anti-hallucination rule.",
    "language": "English",
    "art_style_note": "Interface geometry (portrait layout, top-down view of the grid, bevelled control buttons) is described under `screens`, deliberately NOT here: this field is fed verbatim into the logo generator's prompt, and anything named in it gets drawn."

    "base_game_background": "Bright grass-green felt/mat texture (like a card table), with a darker green vignette toward the edges; during cascades, small gold coin particles sprinkle across the green background.",
    "top_and_multiplier_banners": "Warm reddish-brown / mahogany lacquered-wood texture with an orange-gold gradient sheen along the top and bottom edges of each wooden bar.",
    "bottom_control_panel": "Dark brown wood-grain panel, slightly darker than the top banners, spanning the full width at the bottom of the screen.",
    "tiles": "Cream / ivory off-white tile faces with a light teal-green drop-shadow along the bottom edge and rounded corners with a subtle 3D bevel (raised-tile look), identical for every symbol except Wild and Scatter.",
    "gold_plated_tiles": "Same cream tile shape but with a warm amber/gold tint wash over the face, a soft golden glow around the border, and a small 3D gold-ingot icon added at the bottom-center of the tile.",
    "accent_colors": "Warm gold and saturated yellow; vivid scarlet red; jade and grass green; a deep blue-violet purple. All four sit against the cream of the tile faces and the dark mahogany of the wooden framing.",
    "preview_splash": "Warm orange-to-red radial gradient background with a bright white light-burst behind the logo; falling gold ingots and coins around the edges; red 'GET STARTED' button with a darker red border.",
    "overlay_panels_settings_autoplay": "Dark navy/charcoal semi-transparent panel sliding up over the dimmed game; body text in white/light-grey, headings and highlighted values in warm peach/tan-orange.",
    "colorblind_note": "The palette leans on warm gold/red vs. cool green, which is generally safe for the most common (red-green) color-blindness because every functional distinction below is ALSO carried by shape, position, printed text, or icon glyph, not color alone (see per-screen notes).",
    "accent_colors_where": "Gold/yellow: the WILD lettering, the ingots and coins, the active step of the multiplier ladder, and the fill of the WIN and BIG WIN text. Red: the Scatter's glow, the printed 中 and 萬 characters, and the win-banner plaque with its gold-on-maroon frame. Green: the printed 發 character, the bamboo-suit sticks, and the Spin button. Purple/blue-violet: the scroll symbol, the 八 character and some of the dot pips. (Split out of `accent_colors` deliberately: that field is fed verbatim into the logo generator's prompt, and naming interface elements there makes it draw them.)"

  "reels_and_mechanics_summary": {
    "grid": "5 reels x 4 rows, ways-to-win mechanic, 1,024 ways (FIXED, not dynamic/expanding) — printed on-screen at all times as '1024 WAYS' on the top wooden banner and confirmed in both Paytable and Rules text.",
    "bet_structure": "Verbatim from Rules p1: \"The game is played with 20 base bet for 1,024 ways (fixed), bet level of 1 to 10 and bet size of 0.03 to 0.90.\" Total bet = 20 x bet_size x bet_level. Bet Size and Bet Level are each set with their own selector; Bet Amount (= total bet) is shown directly and can also be set to max with one tap (\"Max Bet\").",
    "paytable_number_convention_IMPORTANT": "The numbers printed in the Paytable are NOT the cash win directly — they are multipliers of a 'base bet unit' equal to bet_size x bet_level, i.e. total_bet / 20. Verbatim: \"A bet way win in cash is equal to the value shown in the 'Paytable' multiplied by the bet size and bet level.\" All screenshots in this set were captured at a total bet of 12.00 (base game) or 0.60 (bet-limit and autoplay frames); at 12.00 the base-bet unit is 0.60, so every Paytable multiplier in this document must be multiplied by 0.60 to get the cash value shown at that particular bet, or by (total_bet/20) in general. This was arithmetically proven on frame base_game_win_round1.png: tier value 10 (5-in-a-row payout of the 2-dot/2-bamboo tile is actually the 3-of-a-kind tier here) x 0.03 x bet_level x 2 winning ways = 0.60, matching the printed WIN exactly.",
    "ways_win_rule": "A way wins only if the matching symbols are adjacent and unbroken starting from the LEFTMOST reel (reel 1) moving right; a gap breaks the way. The number of winning ways for a symbol = the product of how many matching/adjacent symbols sit in each contributing reel (paytable's own worked example: 1 x 3 x 2 = 6 ways). The symbol's paytable value is multiplied by that way count; wins on different ways/symbols in the same spin are added together; all wins are shown in cash.",
    "cascade": "After a round's payout, every winning symbol explodes/is removed, the symbols above fall down to fill the gaps, and the newly formed grid is evaluated again for additional winning combinations — this repeats until no new winning combination is formed in a round (a single spin can therefore contain several chained 'rounds').",
    "multiplier_ladder_base_game": "A 4-step ladder is shown permanently on the wooden bar under '1024 WAYS': x1, x2, x3, x5. Every spin starts at x1. A win in round 1 raises round 2's multiplier to x2; a win in round 2 raises round 3's multiplier to x3; a win in round 3 raises round 4 and every round after it to x5 (the ladder caps at x5 and does not exceed it). The multiplier resets to x1 at the start of the next spin. The currently active step is shown in bright gold with a glow and larger typeface; the other steps are dim brown/bronze, still fully legible as text.",
    "gold_plated_symbols": "During any spin, any of the 8 regular paying symbols (i.e. excluding Wild and Scatter) appearing on reels 2, 3 and/or 4 only may randomly render as 'Gold Plated' (amber tint + small ingot icon on the tile, see color_palette). If a Gold Plated symbol takes part in a winning combination, then after that round's symbols explode and new tiles cascade down, the Gold Plated symbol(s) that had won are transformed into WILD symbol(s) for the following round of the same cascade chain (visually confirmed on free_spins_last.png, where several tiles carry the WILD ingot immediately after being marked gold in the prior frame).",
    "wild": "Substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol; per both panels, appears ONLY on reels 2, 3 and 4 (never on reel 1 or reel 5).",
    "free_spins_trigger": "3 Scatter symbols appearing ANYWHERE on the grid (not restricted to ways/adjacency) trigger the Free Spins Feature with 12 free spins; each additional Scatter beyond 3 adds 2 more free spins (so 4 Scatters = 14, 5 = 16, etc. — explicit formula given, not a lookup table). Free Spins can be retriggered by landing 3+ Scatters again during the feature. The feature is played at the same Bet Size and Bet Level as the spin that triggered it.",
    "free_spins_multiplier_ladder": "During Free Spins the same 4-step ladder is shown but re-scaled to x2, x4, x6, x10 (still starts effectively at x2 for the first winning round and climbs the same way as the base-game ladder, capping at x10). Rendered on a dark red/maroon banner (distinct from the brown wood banner of the base game) with small round emblem ornaments at both ends and 'REMAINING FREE SPIN: <n>' printed at the bottom of the screen, decrementing every spin; the last spin is explicitly labelled 'LAST FREE SPIN'.",
    "malfunction_clause": "Printed verbatim in Rules: \"Malfunction voids all pays and plays.\" and \"In the event of disputes over game results, all game results that are shown in the game history page are absolute and final.\""

      "page_5_9": "'Gold Plated Symbols', 'Multiplier' and 'Free Spin Feature' sections repeated verbatim from the Paytable, followed by the start of 'Main Game' — a glossary of every on-screen control, each shown with its actual icon and a description: Spin (tap to spin; tap again/tap board to stop reels), a 'PC Version only' block for <Space> behavior (start spin, hold-to-repeat, skip animation, activate the sole available button).",

      "normal_win": "During an active cascade round the game shows a small maroon plaque banner with gold Chinese-knot ornaments reading 'WIN <amount>' (e.g. 'WIN 48.00') just above the balance/bet bar, while the winning tiles are still visible/exploding on the grid above it; the 'WIN' figure in the balance/bet bar's center field matches this banner.",
      "chain_end": "When a cascade chain of several rounds finishes, the banner instead reads 'TOTAL WIN <amount>' (observed 'TOTAL WIN 0.24' on base_game_win_evidence.png), summing all rounds of that chain; by then the winning symbols have already exploded and the grid shows the next spin's resting state, so this frame cannot be used to reconstruct which symbols produced the win.",
      "big_win_banner": "For a sufficiently large cascade chain, a full-screen golden light-burst overlay appears with a green 3D 'BIG WIN' title (white/dark outline) and a large orange 3D number below it.",
      "big_win_number_is_unreliable": "CONFIRMED DEFECT (P-X05, second occurrence for this provider): the number printed inside the BIG WIN burst is an animated counter caught mid-count, NOT the final amount. On win_screen_big.png the burst shows '5.12' while the service strip at the very bottom of the SAME frame already reads 'WIN 309.60' (bet 12.00, i.e. 25.8x) and the balance shown (99,868.00) is itself still pre-payout. The service strip, never the burst banner, is the trustworthy source for a win amount.",
      "color_blind_notes": "Win amounts are large high-contrast gold/orange text on dark maroon or black — legible without color discrimination; the WIN vs TOTAL WIN vs BIG WIN distinction is carried entirely by the printed label text, not by color."

      "gameplay_frame": "Ladder switches to the dark red/maroon x2/x4/x6/x10 scale with small round emblem ornaments at both ends; 'REMAINING FREE SPIN' label in gold with a large number to its right (e.g. '5') at the bottom of the screen, replacing the promotional marquee banner used in the base game.",
      "last_spin_frame": "Same red ladder; large gold text 'LAST FREE SPIN' appears where the remaining-spins counter was, signalling the feature is about to end; winning tiles on this frame are outlined with a bright white/gold glow.",
      "round_total_not_captured": "The feature's own end-of-round total banner was not caught on camera (the capture cadence of 3.6s was coarser than the banner's on-screen duration); the total was instead reconstructed arithmetically from the balance delta across the whole feature (99,505.60 before the trigger spin -> 100,382.20 after the round = +885.60, plus the 3.00 cost of the triggering spin itself = 888.60 total feature win = 74.05x the 12.00 bet), which matches the accumulated 'WIN' value shown in the service strip on free_spins_last.png (888.60) exactly. See manifest.json feature_coverage for the full chain of evidence.",

    "motor": "The Spin button is the largest single touch target on screen and centrally placed; Auto Spin (with 5 preset spin counts) and holding <Space> on PC both reduce the number of individual taps/clicks required to play for an extended session.",
    "color_blind": "Every functional state observed in this game (active multiplier step, Gold Plated symbol, selected auto-spin count, win vs. total-win vs. big-win, feature vs. base game) is conveyed through BOTH a color shift AND a redundant non-color cue (printed number/text, icon shape, glow/size, or an added icon) — see each screen's color_blind_notes above for specifics. The one low-confidence area is the 5-pip 'Dots' tile, whose individual pips are color-coded (purple/green/red), but the symbol's IDENTITY for gameplay purposes is its pip pattern/count and its 'circles' motif vs. the 'bamboo sticks' motif of its same-payout counterpart, not the pip colors themselves.",
