The cells marked during stage 1 have converted into sticky WILD portrait badges: in the captured frame, three cells show the plain 'WILD' pirate-captain portrait (level-1 marking, no multiplier) and two cells show the red-haired 'x2' pirate-captain portrait (level-2 marking). These sticky wilds remain fixed in place while the surrounding non-marked cells continue to spin normally between free spins. Win amount shown: '$7.80' (running total at the time of capture); 'FREE SPINS LEFT 0' (final Super Free Spin already resolving)."

The info booklet is a linear 7-page sequence navigated with ◄/► and closed with X (all three green, differentiated by shape/position). Free Spins feature state is announced with full-screen interstitial text screens ('YOU HAVE WON N FREE SPINS' / 'N SUPER FREE SPINS') before gameplay resumes, which is helpful for non-visual state changes if paired with text-to-speech.",
    "motor": "Large round click targets (SPIN is the largest). SPACE/ENTER also spin, and holding SPACE triggers turbo spin (keyboard-operable, reduces need for precise clicking). Autoplay (with optional SKIP SCREENS) reduces the number of manual actions required to play through a session.",
    "color_blind": "Most affordances are non-colour: control icons are white glyphs on dark circles; confirm/cancel use checkmark vs X glyphs (not colour alone); toggle state uses BOTH switch position and colour; free-spins-marking sticky wilds are distinguished by BOTH a distinct gold-bordered square frame AND printed multiplier text ('WILD'/'x2'/'x3'/'x4'/'x5') rather than colour alone, though the badge circle behind each portrait is colour-coded (blue/magenta/red/green/purple) as a secondary, non-essential cue. Card-suit low symbols (spade/club/heart/diamond) rely partly on their traditional shape as the primary distinguishing cue, with colour as a secondary cue — shape recognition should be sufficient for suit identification even for colour-blind users.",

    "Marking-level portraits x3, x4 and x5 (level 3-5 sticky wilds) were only observed on the rules-page icon key, not landed in the captured Free Spins playthrough (which only reached level 2 / 'x2'); their in-gameplay rendering is assumed identical to the rules-page icon but not independently confirmed in a live spin.",
    "Whether the base-game WILD (red 'PIRATES PUB' banner/ship's-wheel icon) and the Free-Spins marking-family WILD portraits share a single internal symbol ID or are technically distinct game objects — documented here purely from their visibly different renderings across base game vs Free Spins screens.",
    "Precise appearance of a natural (non-bought) Free Spins trigger screen from the base game was not separately captured; the feature was entered via Buy Free Spins, so the base-game reel state at the moment of a natural 3/4/5-WILD trigger is not documented."
