    "theme": "Spooky Halloween / fortune-telling witch's cottage theme. A haunted purple-lit village at dusk with a crooked witch house (glowing yellow windows), bare gnarled trees, a crescent moon, drifting fireflies/embers and floating ghost shapes in the background. The reel frame is bark-textured dark wood topped with a pair of large curled ram/goat horns. Symbols are voodoo/occult trinkets: a bone-lettered WILD, a top-hatted owl fortune-teller, a pin-stuck voodoo cat doll, a horned skull charm, glowing potion bottles and rune-carved gems. The scatter/bonus symbol is a flaming cauldron.",

    "art_style": "Stylised 2D cartoon illustration with a painterly/airbrushed rendering: soft gradient shading and glow effects (neon pink/purple rim-light on symbol borders, glowing potion contents) rather than flat cel-shading, but still clearly cartoon/chibi proportions (the owl and voodoo-cat characters have large heads, big round eyes, small bodies) rather than photorealistic. Dark, moody nighttime palette (deep purples, magenta, teal) with warm orange fire/lantern accents. Camera is a static front-on view of the reel grid; no isometric or top-down perspective. Overall mood is playful-spooky/Halloween rather than horror-frightening.",
    "method_notes": "Numbers taken verbatim from on-screen text and cross-checked with zoomed crops of the 17-page PAYTABLE booklet and the 20-page GAME INFO (rules) booklet. Some feature-event screenshots were re-identified against the paytable's category icons where the capture session's own labels appeared to mismatch the actual icon shown (see 'documentation_corrections' below) - identification was done by comparing icon artwork/colour/text against the printed category key, not by page label.",

    "The manifest/capture notes describe the first captured Cascade Feature event (cascade_feature_select.png / cascade_feature_ladder.png / cascade_feature_reveal.png, captured at Free Spins 7/9) as awarding '+4 Extra Hot Zones'. On direct visual inspection this is very likely a MISLABEL: cascade_feature_reveal.png shows a card with an orange/red gold-framed border and a flaming cauldron icon (identical artwork to the Scatter/BONUS symbol) with the text '+4' - this exact card face (colour, border, cauldron icon) matches the FOURTH paytable category, 'Free Spins Trigger' (paytable_p10/p16-17: '1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Scatters can be awarded... Each scatter awarding a retrigger'), not 'Extra Hot Zones' (which is represented in the same selection screen by a blue/purple card ending in a pink neon grid/lattice icon, paytable_p11/p16 'Extra Hot Zone stacks in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6... will be placed in full view'). The four simultaneous vertical strips visible in cascade_feature_select.png / cascade_feature_select2.png confirm the four column colours/icons in order: pink=Extra Wilds (ends in gold 'W' bones), blue/purple=Extra Hot Zones (ends in pink grid icon), orange/red=Free Spins Trigger (ends in flame cauldron), green=Win Multiplier (ends in skull-and-crossbones). This documentation therefore labels the first event as '+4 Free Spins Trigger' rather than '+4 Extra Hot Zones'. The second captured event (cascade_feature_select2.png/cascade_feature_ladder.png/cascade_feature_reveal2.png, 'x5 Win Multiplier', green skull-and-crossbones card) IS correctly labelled and was independently confirmed.",
    "The exact spin-by-spin arithmetic behind the Free Spins counter's jumps (9 -> ... -> 14 -> ... -> 16) could not be fully reconstructed from the sparse capture set: several unphotographed spins occurred between captured frames, and both natural Scatter-in-Hot-Zone landings (each individually worth +1, several are visible stacked in free_spins_retrigger.png and free_spins_retrigger2.png as small '+1' cauldron tiles) and the Cascade Feature's 'Free Spins Trigger' card can add spins by the same +N mechanism. This documentation reports the printed counter value on each captured frame rather than asserting an unverified causal breakdown of which single event produced which increment."
