Two residual color-only risks were found: (1) the four royal letters A/K/Q/J are differentiated ONLY by hue (green/blue/orange/red) with an identical typeface and no distinguishing icon or pattern — a user with red-green or blue-yellow color-blindness may struggle to tell K from Q or A from J purely by symbol color, though the printed payout amounts (0.40 vs 0.40 vs 0.40 vs 0.10) only meaningfully distinguish J from the other three, softening the practical impact; (2) the four bonus-round goal-corner multipliers are positional (top-left/top-right/bottom-left/bottom-right) and always carry their own printed number, so no color dependency exists there.",
