The paytable/rules content is a strictly linear 8-page sequence (left-triangle/X/right-triangle to navigate, 'Page n/8' indicator on every page), which maps well to a sequential screen-reader walkthrough.",

AUTOPLAY (with a selectable spin count and SKIP SCREENS option) and BUY FREE SPINS both reduce the number of repeated manual actions needed to experience the feature.",
    "color_blind": "Most affordances are non-colour-dependent: control icons are white glyphs on dark circles (shape-based); paytable/rules nav uses distinct shapes (triangle/cross/triangle) despite all being green; settings toggles use handle position (left/right) in addition to colour; the autoplay 'SKIP SCREENS' checkbox uses a checkmark glyph; the bonus-buy dialog uses X vs checkmark icons, not colour alone, for cancel/confirm; symbol identity is conveyed by distinct pictorial icons (mammoth/lion/wolf/boar/bear/dodo/volcano/ice-crystal) and by card-suit shapes for the 4 low symbols, which is redundant with their card-frame colour. Residual risk: the WILD (magenta) and several high-symbol card frames (also magenta/green/teal/red) are only reliably told apart by their icon artwork, not frame colour alone - which is fine since the icon (shape) is always present and legible.",

    "Whether the Free Spins gamble wheel's 7 visible segments (5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14) are a fixed, always-identical wheel layout regardless of the trigger tier, or whether the wheel's segment set/order can differ - only one wheel state was captured; the rules text is consistent with a fixed set of possible totals but does not explicitly describe the wheel's segment layout.",
    "Per-cell symbol content shown on any base-game or free-spins reel screenshot is a random RNG outcome for that spin and is intentionally not enumerated as a fixed game property.",
    "Exact wording printed on the in-reel WILD symbol itself (whether it always carries a visible 'WILD' wordmark or only the volcano artwork) - the paytable icon shows a 'WILD' wordmark under the volcano graphic, but the in-reel instance captured on base_game_win.png shows a 'WILD' label as well; this is treated as consistent, not contradictory, but is noted since only one in-reel WILD instance was captured close enough to confirm."
