    "in_game_wordmark": "The in-game splash and the top-left banner on every reel screen render the title as two stacked words: 'MONSTER' (top line, teal/green monster-comic lettering with tiny cartoon eyeballs and stitches worked into the letters) and 'MASHCASH' (bottom line, orange-to-red dripping/melting lettering, no space between 'Mash' and 'Cash'). The catalog name 'Monster Mash Cash' has three words; the in-game wordmark visually reads as two words with 'MashCash' fused together. Both are recorded here; which one is 'correct' is not decided here.",

    "theme": "Comic/cartoon Halloween 'monster mash' theme: a cast of classic B-movie monsters (Frankenstein's-monster-like character, a mummy, a green ogre, a werewolf, a purple witch/imp, graveyard zombies, a vampire in a top hat) arranged like a haunted funfair. The reels sit inside a wood-and-bone picture frame studded with rivets and bolts, flanked on both sides by a huge shaggy werewolf-like beast and a wrapped mummy figure standing guard, with a Frankenstein's-monster head and a lightning-rod tower visible in the background.",
    "art_style": "Flat, hand-drawn comic/cartoon illustration (not 3D, not photorealistic). Thick black ink outlines around every character and object, mostly flat cel-shaded color fills with only a few soft drop shadows for depth. Decorative flat rainbow-gradient discs (magenta/orange/green/teal) are used as flat background 'medallions' behind several character portraits — this is a graphic-design gradient effect, not simulated lighting. Base game is lit like a bright indoor laboratory/workshop (light blue-grey reel background); the Free Spins mode switches to a dusk/night graveyard scene (deep purple-to-red sky, silhouetted dead tree, tombstones) for mood contrast. Overall tone is playful/spooky-comic rather than scary or cinematic — exaggerated proportions, big heads, comical expressions, Halloween-party mood aimed at a casual mobile-casino audience. Camera is a static straight-on view of the reel grid (no isometric or top-down perspective).",

Symbol identities and colors were verified visually, with zoomed crops used to confirm three of them (Wild, a high-value portrait, a mid-value portrait) for the logo reference set. Anything not legible or not present on the captured frames is listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain' and not invented.",
