Base game is a night-time underwater scene (cool dark teal/navy blue with visible light rays and small drifting fish silhouettes); the Free Game switches to a bright daytime exterior of the same city rendered in pale sky-blue and white marble with red confetti/petals falling. Camera is a flat, symmetrical front-on view (no perspective/isometry). Overall mood is mythological/adventure, not cartoonish or neon; UI buttons are glossy blue-and-gold circular 'jewel' style typical of a classic video-slot chrome, not flat/minimal.",

 "mechanic_overview": {
  "no_classic_reel_grid": "This game has NO rectangular reel grid, no paylines, no ways-to-win count, and no rows/columns. This is Habanero's 'Big Reels' path-pay mechanic (confirmed by booklet page 'Big Reels', rules_p1.png).",
  "paths": "Symbols travel along fixed circular/nested-arc PATHS drawn as a thick pale outline. Base game: outline is shaped like a wide shield/heart with two mirrored halves (2 paths total), each holding up to 40 symbols (rules_p3.png: '40 symbols can appear on both paths in the Base Game'). Free Game: the outline changes shape to a wider double-wing/W silhouette with 4 paths - 2 outer paths (up to 21 symbols each) and 2 inner paths (up to 16 symbols each) (rules_p5.png). Visually confirmed on free_spins_2.png: the daytime background shows a visibly different, wider nested-arc outline than the night-time base_game.png outline.",
  "win_rule": "Symbols that land ADJACENT to each other on the SAME path pay according to the paytable (rules_p1.png, 'Big Reels' page: 'Symbols on the same path that appear adjacent pay according to the paytable'). The Scatter (eye symbol) is the only exception - it pays anywhere on screen regardless of path/adjacency (paytable_p2.png: 'pay anywhere'). Only the single highest-value combination on each path is paid per path, but if multiple different paths win simultaneously, those wins are added together (rules_p8.png 'Other Rules': 'Wins for different combinations are added').",
  "long_chain_rule": "If a winning chain is longer than the longest tier printed in the paytable (13-of-a-kind), the paytable's highest printed value keeps being extended: rules_p1.png gives a worked example for the white/black starburst symbol - '14 and 15 of [starburst symbol] pays ‡5,000 and ‡7,500 respectively' (i.e. roughly +‡2,500 per extra symbol beyond the 13-tier value of ‡2,500 for that symbol).",
  "cascade": "After a win, the winning symbols are removed and replaced by new/existing symbols falling into place (rules_p2.png 'Cascade' page); this repeats for as long as new wins keep occurring. A per-round 'game multiplier' increases with every new cascade until it hits its maximum, and resets to the initial value once a spin produces no further wins (rules_p2.png).",
  "cascade_multiplier_ladder_base_game": "Base Game: x1 (1st/initial cascade), x2 (2nd), x3 (3rd), x5 (4th and any further cascade in the same round) - rules_p3.png, directly read and legible, not OCR-derived.",

NOTE: the on-screen text prints 'X15' clearly; this was double-checked visually because OCR software is known to misread this particular glyph as 'X18' - the correct value confirmed by eye is X15.",
  "wild_seeding": "Starting from the 2nd cascade of a round, a fixed number of on-screen symbols are randomly replaced with the Wild (flaming brazier/torch orb): 2 symbols in the Base Game, 4 symbols in the Free Game (rules_p3.png / rules_p5.png). Directly observed as glowing orange-outlined fire-orb icons mixed into the path on win_screen.png and free_spins_2.png.",
  "free_game_trigger": "3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 Scatter (eye) symbols landing anywhere award 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 Free Games respectively; 9 or more Scatters award 1000 Free Games (rules_p4.png, verbatim: '10, 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 Free Games are awarded respectively when 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 [Scatter] appear anywhere' / '1000 Free Games are awarded when 9 Or More [Scatter] appear anywhere'). The feature CAN be retriggered while in Free Games, and Free Games are always played at the bet of the triggering spin (rules_p4.png). [CORRECTED BY TL: an earlier draft of this document reported a gap at 7 scatters and a top tier of 250; the printed line renders '6, 7' with a tight comma and was misread. Verified by TL at 3x zoom on the frame itself - there are six counts and six awards, and the top pre-9 tier is 500 Free Games.]",
  "buy_feature": "A 'Buy Feature' popup can be opened any time via the diamond-shaped 'BUY FEATURE' button on the right of the game frame (blue diamond, red/yellow 3D text). Three purchasable options, each shown as a card with an eye/Scatter icon, a description, a price in player currency and a green 'Buy' button (bonus_buy_dialog.png): '3-8' (3-8 Scatters land at random, awarding 10-500 initial Free Games), '4' (exactly 4 Scatters land, fixed 25 initial Free Games), '5' (exactly 5 Scatters land, fixed 50 initial Free Games). Price scales with the current bet and is shown live at the bottom of the popup next to '-' / bet value / '+' steppers. Booklet page rules_p6.png ('Buy Feature'): 'When triggering the feature with the Buy Feature popup, the base game will play before the feature' - i.e. one ordinary spin plays first, then the feature starts.",

The Jackpot is triggered at random. Progressive Jackpot wins are added to other wins.'
