A wooden ship's-cargo-crate reel frame (bound with rope and metal bolts, a hanging chain at each top corner) sits over a moonlit night ocean: dark teal starry sky with scattered white stars, a glowing horizon, and a dark blue sea with a bright reflection path at the bottom. Symbols are gemstones/coins/treasure chests and a skull-and-crossbones WILD banner and a brass ship's compass WILD symbol, reinforcing pirate/navigation/treasure imagery. The word 'CODE' in the title and the two vertical columns of shuffled numbers 1-10 flanking the reels (a decorative 'code' motif, not paylines) tie into the 'Star Pirates Code' name.",

The WILD COMPASS symbol shows a random direction, North, South, East or West in which it will add WILD symbols to the screen, to fill all positions on reels 2, 3 and 4 in that direction, including it's own position. Possible directions are: [3x3 arrow diagram]. All positions with WILD symbols are locked and a respin is triggered. If more WILD COMPASS symbols hit as a result of the respin more WILD symbols are added in the same way and a new respin is triggered. If WILD symbols from the WILD COMPASS are added in positions that are already locked those position gain +1x multiplier every time this happens. The multiplier applies to the win of all combinations with that WILD symbol. The respin ends when no more new COMPASS symbols hit. Wins are calculated and added to the total win between each respin. MAX WIN. The maximum win amount is limited to 2,500x bet in both base game and respin feature. If the total win of a RESPIN feature reaches 2,500x bet the round immediately ends, win is awarded and all remaining respins are forfeited. Page 2/6."

After the natural trigger shown in bonus_respin_trigger.png, the headless Chromium canvas froze solid on the heavy tween/glow animation that plays during the lock-in and respin sequence — no response to clicks or waits of 15+ seconds. This matches a known, previously documented environment limitation (heavy bonus-feature animations freeze headless Chromium even under zero external load; a non-headless browser is not available on this VPS). Reloading unfroze the canvas but re-rolled the RNG each time, so the same trigger could not be re-caught within the available synchronous capture budget (~35 spins across two capture sessions). The feature's full mechanics are nonetheless fully and unambiguously documented above from the verbatim, internally-consistent rules text — nothing about the mechanic itself is guessed."

Reels 1 and 3 show a diagonal white win-line drawn from the bottom-left cell of reel 1 through a WILD symbol on reel 3 (row 2) up to a WILD symbol on reel 5 (row 1, top), tracing payline 8's shape; matched symbols are three WILD (skull-and-crossbones/ribbon) tiles on reels 1, 3 and 5 forming the winning combination, with blue diamonds, a purple triangle gem, a silver skull coin, and a treasure chest as the other visible (non-winning) symbols on the grid.",
      "footer": "'WIN $17.60' in large cyan/yellow text at bottom-center; directly below/beside it a small paytable strip reproduces the winning combo icons (chest icon, three WILD tiles) with 'LINE 8 PAYS $12.00' in yellow text; CREDIT $99,988.00; BET $2.00; the reel-line indicator tile '8' is highlighted in gold/orange on both the left and right numbered side-rail columns (matching the winning payline number).",
      "color_blind_notes": "The winning payline is traced with a bright white line overlay (shape/position cue) in addition to the highlighted line-number tile on the side rails — legible without relying on any single hue; win amount and line-pays text are high-contrast yellow/cyan on dark background."

    "screen_reader": "Stable control layout across all screens: menu+sound stacked at far left, 'i' info button immediately to its right, CREDIT/BET labels center-left, bet +/- flanking the large central SPIN button, AUTOPLAY just below/right of SPIN. The rules/paytable booklet is a strictly linear 6-page sequence navigated with ◄/► and closed with a center X — consistent position across all 6 pages.",
    "motor": "Large round click targets (SPIN is the largest element on screen); SPACE/ENTER also start/stop a spin, giving a keyboard-only path. Autoplay (with adjustable spin count and a SKIP SCREENS option) reduces the number of required manual actions for extended play.",
    "color_blind": "Most state/affordance information is duplicated by non-color cues: icon glyphs (menu lines, speaker cone, +/- signs, padlock), text labels (WIN, LINE n PAYS, FREE SPINS-equivalent counters not present here since there is no free spins mode), toggle-switch position, checkmark shapes, numbered payline tiles, and printed multiplier numbers ('x2'/'x3'/'x4') on locked WILDs. Residual note: green is reused for both the paytable navigation arrows and 'ON'/active states (toggles, autoplay button, checkbox), but each instance also carries a distinguishing shape (triangle/checkmark) or explicit text label, so it is not a color-only cue.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No audio-only information was observed on any captured screen; AMBIENT MUSIC and SOUND FX are independently toggleable and purely decorative. All game state (win amounts, line-pays, credit/bet, feature progress) is conveyed through on-screen text and iconography."

    "Exact cell-by-cell shapes of the 10 fixed paylines (rules_p3.png shows 10 small numbered 5x3 diagram icons but they are too small to trace each individual line's path reliably; the count of 10 lines and the both-ways payment rule ARE clearly legible and documented).",
    "Final total win / outcome of the Respin Feature (chained respins, any +1x re-hit multiplier stacking, final combined payout) — could not be captured due to a headless-Chromium animation freeze on every natural trigger observed across ~35 spins in two capture sessions; mechanic is fully documented from the verbatim rules text instead of guessed at.",
    "Whether the WIN $12.00 value shown mid-animation on bonus_respin_trigger.png is a final or still-accumulating figure — treated as an in-progress value per known engine counter-animation behavior, not stated as final.",
    "There is no in-game bonus-buy RTP variant to report since bonus buy is confirmed absent (single RTP value of 96.7% covers the whole game)."
