A gang of cartoon sharks and sea-floor debris (diving helmet, pipe, clam, anchor) inhabit a 5x5 reel set that looks like a riveted metal diving cage; the surrounding scene shows a sunken shipwreck, a spiked naval mine on a chain, coral, seaweed and starfish on rocky underwater platforms.",
    "art_style": "Flat-shaded 2D cartoon illustration with thick dark outlines and exaggerated, comical monster/shark faces (big teeth, bulging eyes) — a casual, humorous 'cartoon horror' look rather than a realistic or dark/scary one. Symbols are rendered as circular metal porthole medallions (high-value sharks) or square weathered/rusty item cards (low-value objects), giving the sheet-metal industrial framing seen throughout the UI (riveted borders, bolts, gears). Lighting is a bright, saturated cyan/teal underwater glow with no photorealistic shading; feature/win banners use flat gradient backgrounds (blue-green, teal, purple, amber, red) with large bevelled 3D-cartoon gold numerals and chunky drop-shadowed lettering. Camera is a static front-on view of the reel set, no perspective/isometric depth.",

Every intermediate win-tier banner captured during the 186x/93.00 fun (4 Torpedo Free Spins) purchase was re-read with scripts/zoom.py because the stylised 3D gold font defeats plain OCR; two of the manifest's free-text notes for those frames turned out to be misreadings and are corrected here (see corrections_to_manifest_notes).

    "win_screen_megawin.png: manifest note said the banner reads 'MEGA WIN 36.87'; the frame actually shows the tier label 'SUPER WIN' (not 'Mega Win') with the amount '50.00' fun, confirmed by zoom crop. The filename itself ('megawin') does not match the printed tier label either.",
    "bonus_buy_random_trigger.png: manifest note describes 'on the reels landed 3 BONUS (torpedo) symbols triggering Free Spins'; the frame actually shows the Gamble Feature wheel screen (vertical stack of cylinder segments, current prize X25 highlighted in purple, text 'CHOOSE TO COLLECT YOUR PRIZE OR GAMBLE', COLLECT/GAMBLE buttons at the bottom) that Push Gaming shows immediately after any Free Spins Feature is awarded, offering to gamble the starting Total Multiplier before the free spins begin. This is consistent with the printed rule ('When the Free Spins Feature is awarded, the player is given the option to gamble their awarded Free Spins Prize') and with Balance 712.95 fun matching the following gameplay frame. Reported to the team lead for the manifest text to be corrected."

The measured evidence settles it: base_game_win.png shows WIN 0.35 fun at Total Bet 0.50 fun with no torpedo/mystery symbols on the field, which matches exactly the paytable tier '4x blue swordfish = 0.35' at the total-bet anchor of 0.50 fun (paytable_p1.png/p2.png). At 40 paylines the per-line bet would be 0.0125 fun, which would make every printed payout implausibly tiny. Payout basis is therefore the TOTAL bet."
