A stylised castle-and-countryside setting: green hills, a distant snow-capped mountain and a fairy-tale castle under a blue daytime sky in the base game, switching to a moonlit night sky with a flying dragon silhouette and glowing full moon during the Free Spins feature. Character cast: a bearded male knight/nobleman, a noblewoman wearing a tiara, a red dragon, and an armoured horse — plus a heraldic knight-helmet Scatter and a gold horse-head shield Wild.",

The ratio coin-value / 20 exactly reproduces the dollar figure divided by the $2.00 demo bet for every tier (e.g. dragon 5-of-a-kind: 150 coins / 20 = 7.5, and $15.00 / $2.00 = 7.5) — this proves the payout basis is a multiplier of TOTAL bet, not a per-line or per-coin value, and it is reported as such below.

The Horse symbol instead appears as the central icon in the earlier 'CHOOSING SPECIAL SYMBOL' reveal animation (free_spins_trigger.png), which most likely was captured mid-animation (a candidate being cycled through) before the reveal settled on its final result. This is reported as an observed discrepancy between two captured frames of the same round, not as an assumed game mechanic.",
