    "theme": "Urban hip-hop / street 'flashy money' theme. Three cartoon 'money men' mob-boss/hustler characters preside over the reels against a split day-to-night city backdrop: a warm sunset-orange palm-tree side on the left and a cool blue neon skyscraper skyline on the right, with a parked flame-decal sports car (red tail-lights) at the bottom of the base game and a purple-lit nightclub stage (checkerboard dance floor, spotlights, red marquee) for the Free Spins feature.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 17 desktop screenshots (1280x800) plus zoomed crops. All numbers are taken verbatim from on-screen text; the tumble/megaways product-of-heights arithmetic was independently checked against the on-screen MEGAWAYS badge.",
    "method_notes": "Every screenshot was opened and read directly at full/zoomed resolution (scripts/zoom.py) rather than relying on capturer notes or filenames, per project policy. Numbers not clearly legible are listed in 'unreadable_or_uncertain' and not invented. OCR (pytesseract) was not separately re-run because CPU load from parallel capturers made it unreliable at the time of writing (per project memory 'ocr-orphan-tesseract'); every on-screen string quoted below was read and re-checked visually instead.",

Right half: cool blue/purple night skyline of lit skyscraper windows, with a fragment of a red/pink vertical neon sign ('...OTEL' / a partial word ending 'PB...') visible at the far right edge. The two halves blend in the middle behind the reel frame, giving a dusk-to-night split lighting.",

    "reel_cells": "Flat mid-grey/mauve tile background per cell, matching the background card color used behind each symbol (see symbols). A cell that is part of a currently-highlighted (winning) combination gets a bright gold/amber rectangular outline that visibly brightens the whole cell compared to its neutral grey neighbours.",
    "characters": "Character 1 (left, smaller): purple-tinted round sunglasses, cream/white faux-fur coat collar, blue collared shirt, gold rings, smoking a cigar. Character 2 (center, largest, clearly the 'boss'): bald, thick black moustache, gold-tooth grin, red velvet blazer with gold trim, thick gold chain necklace with a medallion, red tie. Character 3 (right): bald, white rectangular sunglasses, gold sequinned/track jacket, gold chain with a pendant, fanning out a handful of green cash bills.",

The whole logo sits in front of radiating gold light rays on the preview screen.",
    "free_spins_stage_background": "Purple/magenta nightclub stage: black-and-white/purple checkerboard dance floor with reflections, two spotlight fixtures at the bottom corners, criss-cross scaffolding/truss towers either side, illuminated vertical light-strip columns, small glowing blue star shapes, and a red marquee-style banner with rows of bulb lights forming the 'CONGRATULATIONS' arch; two red curved chevron-arrow light fixtures point inward at the central plaque. Green dollar bills fall and reflect on the floor throughout.",
    "accent_colors": "Gold/yellow for money amounts, headings and the SPIN/AUTOPLAY glyphs; green for the BUY FREE SPINS plaque text, the confirm checkmark, active toggle switches and the 'YOU HAVE WON'/'BIG WIN' outline highlights; red for the WILD banner, the ante 'OFF' arrow icon, the cancel-X and the 'CONGRATULATIONS' ribbon; purple for most symbol/plaque card backgrounds; cyan/light-blue for the glowing border of the Buy-Free-Spins confirmation dialog."
