    "game_class": "Plinko / pyramid-ball-drop game (crash-adjacent RNG game). This is NOT a reel slot: there are no reels, no paylines, no symbol paytable, no ways-to-win. A ball drops from the top of a triangular pyramid of pegs, bounces down, and lands in one of several holes at the bottom of the pyramid. The printed multiplier of the hole the ball lands in is applied to the player's BET AMOUNT. This document therefore does NOT contain reels/paylines/symbols sections; the equivalent of a symbol paytable here is the set of hole-multiplier tables, one per Risk Level x Lines combination.",
    "edition_note": "'Plinko 2 Halloween' is the Halloween-themed reskin/edition of the base BGaming title 'Plinko 2'. All decorative art (jack-o'-lantern holes instead of generic holes, a witch flying on a broom, a graveyard with tombstones and a reaching zombie hand, a gnarled dead tree, a haunted house with three carved pumpkins on its roofline, a glowing cauldron/crystal ball full of pink orbs with a spiderweb overlay at the top of the pyramid) is Halloween-specific. The underlying mechanics (Risk Level, Lines, Balls Amount, Bet Amount, the three buyable features Multipliers / Respin Chance / Multiplier Ball Chance, bet/line/ball limits) match the base Plinko 2 game class described in the brief. The in-game rules text explicitly frames the theme: 'We invite you to add some thrill and excitement to the well-known Plinko game by playing it in an abandoned place, where a ghost can appear at any moment. Rolling the ball down the board will tickle your nerves even more because you will hear the cawing of ravens and strange sounds coming from the abandoned house.' (rules_p1.png).",

    "top_ornament": "Directly above the pyramid apex: a circular glowing prop that reads as a crystal ball or bubbling cauldron - a black interior with a thin white spiderweb drawn across it, ringed by a glowing cyan/blue neon circle, containing a cluster of glossy pink/magenta orbs (potion bubbles or a 'coin hoard' motif), resting on a glowing purple/pink neon stand with three support legs.",

    "risk_level_indicator": "Three jack-o'-lantern icons in a row inside a dark trapezoid panel. An 'active/lit' pumpkin glows bright white/pale-lavender (outline and face both lit, high contrast); an 'inactive/unlit' pumpkin is a flat solid black silhouette with no glow. This is a BRIGHTNESS/shape distinction, not a hue distinction - see color_blind notes below.",
    "buy_features_icons": "Three small dark-purple icon tiles inside one trapezoid panel: an 'X' with a small plus sign (Multipliers), a pinwheel/vortex spiral (Respin Chance), and a flame with a small cross/plus inside it (Multiplier Ball Chance). Icons are drawn in solid black/near-black on the dark purple tile background, only readable by their white outline glow when the panel itself is lit."

The number of lines affects the number of rows and holes. Balls amount. The feature allows to choose the number of the balls that will be thrown at maximum speed one after another. Respin Chance. The feature can be activated in the Buy features field to the left of the Play button. When it is activated, some portals appear in the place of holes on the field. If the ball lands in the portal, the player gets a free spin with the multiplier the ball initially got. Multipliers. The feature can be activated in the Buy features field to the left of the Play button. When it is activated, some stretch lines appear on the field. If a ball goes through these stretch lines, it gets an additional multiplier that is applied to the win amount. A player can slightly move stretch lines within the playing field.
