      "multiplier_spot_marking": "Winning cells that have exploded a second time on the same grid position are outlined in a gold/yellow rectangle border and show a floating label like '$2.00 X2' or '$0.50 X4' directly on the grid, confirming the doubling progression from x2 upward described in the rules.",

    "screen_reader": "Stable control layout: menu+sound stacked far-left, 'i' info button just to their right, bet -/+ flanking the central spin button, autoplay directly below spin. The rules/paytable booklet is a strictly linear, explicitly-numbered 7-page sequence ('Page N/7') navigated with left-arrow/X-close/right-arrow -- easy to announce progress ('page 3 of 7').",
    "motor": "Large circular touch/click targets; the central SPIN button is the largest single target on screen. SPACE and ENTER keys also start/stop a spin (fully keyboard-operable without pointing). Autoplay and the SKIP SCREENS option both reduce the number of required interactions during repeated play or feature transitions.",
    "color_blind": "Nearly all affordances are duplicated by non-color cues: white icon glyphs on dark circles for buttons, toggle-switch handle position for on/off state, an explicit numeric spin counter on the free-spins wheel-equivalent (award pill), printed multiplier text ('X2', 'X4') on marked grid cells in addition to their gold outline, and the seven paying symbols are distinguished primarily by SHAPE (round candy / heart / crescent / star / bear) as well as color -- so even full color-blind users can tell most symbols apart by silhouette alone. The three low-value gummy bears (red/purple/orange-gold) share an identical silhouette and are the one place where color is the primary differentiator; their payout ranks are adjacent-but-different, so misreading their color would only cause a small payout-estimation error, not a game-logic error.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No audio-only information was observed; SOUND FX and AMBIENT MUSIC are purely decorative toggles. All game state (win amounts, free spins remaining, active multiplier value, feature-active status) is conveyed redundantly in on-screen text."

    "Per-cell content of any single captured 7x7 grid frame is a random snapshot each spin/tumble and is intentionally not enumerated cell-by-cell (per project convention, not a game property).",
    "Session-wide pytesseract OCR was unavailable due to system CPU contention during this capture wave; all text in this document was instead verified by direct high-resolution visual reading (including zoomed crops), which was fully sufficient given the game's large, high-contrast, non-decorative UI/rules typography -- flagged here for transparency, not because any specific value is in doubt."
