Four cartoon dogs (a dark-brown Rottweiler, a cream Yorkshire terrier with a pink bow, a tan Pug, and a brown-and-white Beagle-type dog) peek over the roofline of a wooden dog-house-shaped game frame. Base game: a bright daytime suburban yard with blue sky, white clouds, a green lawn, a white picket fence and a tree; Free Spins: the same yard at night (dark navy sky with stars) with string lights along the dog-house roof and a small blue bird perched on the frame.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) from 18 canonical desktop screenshots (1280x800) + 2 TL evidence frames (coin view) + OCR ground truth + pixel-level review of every frame.",
    "method_notes": "All 18 canonical frames and the 2 evidence frames were opened and read directly (full-resolution 1280x800, no additional zoom crop was required beyond 3 calibration crops used only to size logo_refs boxes). Batch OCR (pytesseract) was run over all 18 frames; OCR text for paytable_p3/p4/p5/p6 timed out (tesseract subprocess timeout) and those four pages were read and transcribed verbatim by direct visual reading instead (their exact quoted text appears in this document and matches the surviving OCR of neighboring pages in style). All numeric paytable values were cross-checked against the pixel image itself, not only OCR, and against the coin-view evidence frames (dollar values are exactly 10x the coin values, confirming coin value = $0.10 at the $2.00 demo bet). game.name is set explicitly here for logo generation.",

    "note": "All identities and payouts read directly from the pixel image of paytable_p1.png (dollar/'cash view') and cross-checked against the coin-view evidence frame (_evidence_paytable_coins.png), where every value is exactly 10x the dollar value at a 20-coin ($2.00) total bet -- confirming coin value = $0.10. Payout basis, per the rules text (paytable_p4.png, verbatim): 'All wins are multiplied by base bet.' In this Megaways game there are no paylines/coin-per-line, so 'base bet' = the single displayed Total Bet ($2.00 in the demo). Two value sets are given below: (a) the dollar amount actually shown in-game at the $2.00 demo bet, and (b) that dollar amount divided by 2.00, i.e. the payout expressed as a multiplier of total bet (this is the value intended for systems that store payouts bet-normalized). IMPORTANT CORRECTION: the capturer's manifest note attributed the '6 symbols = $15.00' payout to the WILD dog-house symbol; this is WRONG. The $15.00/6.00/4.00/1.50 tier belongs to the ROTTWEILER (the dark dog in the blue frame), which is the highest-paying regular symbol. The WILD (dog-house icon) has NO symbol payouts of its own -- verified by reading its paytable entry, which contains only substitution/multiplier rules text, no payout numbers.",

Residual color-only cue: the base-game reel background (maroon/brown) versus the free-spins reel background (purple) relies partly on color, but this is always ALSO accompanied by an explicit 'FREE SPINS LEFT N' text counter and a day/night background change, so it is not a color-only signal in practice.",

    "The exact MEGAWAYS ways-count number on free_spins_raining_wilds.png (top-right plaque) was not clearly legible in the available OCR pass and was not independently re-zoomed; this is a transient per-spin value with no effect on game rules, so it was not pursued further.",
    "Whether OCR failures on paytable_p3/p4/p5/p6 (tesseract subprocess timeout) hide any additional fine-print text beyond what is visible to direct visual reading -- all text that IS visible was transcribed verbatim and is believed complete, but a residual risk of missed micro-print (e.g. legal disclaimer smaller than visible resolution) cannot be fully ruled out."
