Bronze-armored Spartan warriors, triremes (warships), siege catapults and war chariots against a warm sunset-over-the-Aegean base-game backdrop, framed by a marble Ionic temple (fluted columns, carved entablature/pediment). Free-spins round shifts to a dark, moody night battlefield with a silhouetted army of spearmen and shields in the background.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 16 desktop screenshots (1280x800) plus zoomed crops of the paytable icons.",

Paytable symbol icons and the WILD/BONUS/MAGNETIC BONUS icons were additionally verified with 3x-6x zoomed crops (scripts/zoom.py) to confirm exact iconography and rule out misreads.

Sum of multipliers = 2+2+2 = 6x. $19.20 x 6 = $115.20 — this exactly matches the final win-screen amount 'YOU HAVE WON $115.20 IN 10 FREE SPINS' (win_screen.png), confirming the additive-multiplier mechanic described in the rules.",

Holding SPACE engages turbo spin without an extra click.",

Minor residual note: green is reused for both 'on/checked/positive-action' UI states and for the info-booklet navigation arrows, but each is additionally distinguished by shape, position or accompanying text/icon, not color alone.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No information observed to be conveyed by audio alone; SOUND FX and AMBIENT MUSIC are purely decorative toggles in Settings. All game state (win amounts, spins left, multiplier values, feature triggers) is conveyed through on-screen text and numbers."
