    "theme": "Irish-mob / St. Patrick's-Day gangster parody set in a rain-slicked, lamplit cobblestone back-alley at night. The cast is a gang of grinning, sharp-eared leprechauns and goblin-like thugs dressed as 1920s-style mobsters (top hats, waistcoats, bow ties), rather than the usual cute/cheerful leprechaun-slot theme.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 57 desktop screenshots (1280x800) of the demo, OCR ground truth, and zoomed crops of the paytable icons.",

Feature mechanics text is quoted/paraphrased from the in-game 'GAME INFO' booklet (rules_p1..rules_p15). Numbers not directly legible on a captured frame are marked uncertain and NOT invented.",
    "language": "English",
    "art_style": "Painterly 2D cartoon illustration with soft cel-shading and visible brush texture (not flat vector, not 3D render); moderately thick dark outlines around characters and props; character portraits are semi-realistic caricatures with exaggerated grins, sharp pointed ears and grimy, weathered faces rather than a cute/chibi look. Camera is straight-on/front-facing on a fixed reel grid (no isometric or top-down perspective). Base-game backdrop uses a moody, desaturated teal/blue-green nighttime alley with warm lamplight accents; win/feature interstitial screens switch to warm golden-amber lighting or a saturated grass-green four-leaf-clover backdrop. Overall mood is a gritty, tongue-in-cheek gangster/noir parody of Irish folklore, not a bright children's cartoon."
