A jolly cartoon Santa Claus in a red fur-trimmed coat with a gold belt buckle and a small bell hanging from his belt stands beside a 6x6 reel grid built like a wooden crate overflowing with gold coins and wrapped presents, wrapped in pine garland with red berries and fairy lights. Base game is set outdoors in a snowy landscape at night under a green/teal aurora borealis, with snow-capped pine trees and gift boxes scattered in the foreground. Free Spins move the action indoors to a cosy living room (fireplace-style window, hung stockings, a decorated Christmas tree, wrapped presents) lit in cooler purple/blue tones.",

Numeric bet/ante/buy values were additionally cross-verified across three different total-bet levels ($2.00 / $3.00 / $240.00, and the coins view at 60 coins) to confirm the multiplier arithmetic. Payout basis (symbols[].payouts = multiplier of TOTAL bet, NOT per coin) was independently confirmed by the project TL by comparing the paytable in cash view at $2.00 bet against the same paytable in coins view at 60 coins (the same tier gives $50.00 = 25x at $2.00 and 1500 coins = 25x of the 60-coin total bet). All numbers in this document that originate from the TL's own pixel-verified gate-1 notes are reproduced verbatim from screenshots/9ce249bc-9c4f-47e7-af54-bf75597ab6b9/manifest.json (tl_gate1_notes) and were not independently re-derived by this pass.
