Setting is a flooded turquoise-teal Greek grotto/temple with classical stone columns, carved Greek-key (meander) ornament, hanging vines, and a giant golden statue of King Midas seated on a throne to the right of the reels holding out his golden right hand (which displays the current win-multiplier value on a round medallion resting in its palm). A separate giant stone hand emerging from a pedestal also appears beside the reels holding the multiplier medallion.",

Per the game rules (info_p4.png: 'All wins are multiplied by bet per line'), the displayed dollar amounts are the actual computed win at this bet; dividing by the $2.00 total bet gives the coefficient of total bet (e.g. King 5-of-a-kind $40.00 / $2.00 = 20x total bet). Payout basis is explicitly stated in-game as bet-per-line-based, but no separate 'bet per line' or 'coin value' control distinct from TOTAL BET was observed on any captured screen, so the $2.00-total-bet division is used as the documented coefficient basis, consistent with project convention for slots that only expose a single Total Bet control.",

Each mini-reel independently lands on a value of +1, +2 or +3 free spins; all mini-reels spin simultaneously and the total of all the individual mini-reel results is awarded and played as the free-spins count. Captured example: buying the 5-scatter tier produced a 5-column x 3-row (15-cell) mini-reel grid whose individual values (mostly +1, several +2) summed to 18, matching the 'YOU HAVE WON 18 FREE SPINS' congratulations screen and the in-round 'FREE SPINS 18' counter (fs_trigger3.png -> fs_gameplay1.png -> fs_gameplay2.png).",
