    "art_style": "Flat, minimalist dark UI with softly-lit, glossy 3D-rendered icon assets (pumpkin, potion bottle, ghost, bat, skull) set into a neumorphic dark-grey concentric wheel with inset segmented rings; no camera perspective, everything is frontal/flat 2D layout. UI chrome is flat dark circular buttons with white glyph icons (no gradients on buttons). Lighting on the 3D icons is soft studio-style top-light, not dramatic/cinematic. Overall mood is moody nocturnal Halloween rather than cartoonish-cheerful: near-black slate background, saturated red/green/blue accent rings, and one purple accent (the spin button) against very low ambient light.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) built from 22 desktop screenshots (1280x800) + OCR ground truth + zoomed crops of the paytable/rules booklet and the wheel's printed multiplier labels.",
    "method_notes": "Numbers were cross-checked against TWO sources that DISAGREE (see 'known_discrepancy' below): the printed 'Paytable' section of the in-game Rules booklet, and the multiplier labels printed directly on the wheel itself (confirmed a third way, by measuring balance deltas across real spins/cashouts). Where the two sources conflict, the WHEEL/measured values are used as the authoritative payout table, per the provider defect record P-T18-bis; the booklet text is preserved verbatim as a documented discrepancy, not discarded.",

  "color_palette": {
    "background": "Near-black charcoal/slate (almost pure black in the corners), with a very faint dark-grey spiderweb line pattern radiating from the top-left and bottom-right corners.",
    "wheel_body": "Dark neumorphic grey (matte, slightly raised/inset segmented rings, no bright highlights) — the wheel itself is colorless; color is carried entirely by the three ring ARCS once symbols land.",
    "ring_arcs": "Outer ring = saturated RED (Jack/pumpkin progress). Middle ring = saturated GREEN (Potion progress). Inner ring = saturated BLUE (Ghost progress). Unfilled ring track is the same dark neumorphic grey as the wheel body.",

    "text_and_labels": "White/light-grey numerals and labels on all dark surfaces; balance figure top-left is white/bold; 'DEMO MODE' vertical label on the right edge is white on transparent.",
    "brand_accent": "Turbo Games red (used for the provider splash logo's ring-and-cross mark, and for the header icons/menu accents in the Settings/Limits panels) — bright red-orange on black.",
    "symbol_badges": "Each of the five symbols sits on its own circular badge: Jack = red-glow badge; Potion = green-glow badge; Ghost = blue-glow badge; Bat = dark blue-grey badge (neutral, desaturated); Skull = dark bronze/brown badge with a lit yellow-orange candle flame.",
    "win_feedback": "No dedicated color-coded win overlay; a full Cash Out is signalled only by the balance figure increasing and the Payout field resetting to $0.00 (see 'known_discrepancy'-adjacent note on win screens below)."

    "layout": "One circular 'Vortex' wheel with three concentric rings (outer=red/Jack, middle=green/Potion, inner=blue/Ghost) drawn as a printed ladder of multiplier values running clockwise from the 12 o'clock position around each ring. A large icon of the LAST symbol landed is shown at the very center of the wheel (e.g. skull, ghost, potion bottle, or bat, depending on the most recent spin).",

Landing Potion advances the GREEN ring one segment (x2.5, x7.7, x16, x27.5, x44, then +x20.5 Free Cashout). Landing Ghost advances the BLUE ring one segment (x1.55, x4.85, x10, then +x7 Free Cashout).",
    "bat_symbol": "Bat is neutral: it does not fill or reset any ring. Per the Rules booklet: 'You lose the bet, but the sectors remain filled' — i.e. the spin's stake is forfeited but current ring progress is preserved untouched.",
    "skull_symbol": "Skull pushes ALL THREE rings back by exactly one segment simultaneously (a shared 'bust' setback across Jack/Potion/Ghost at once), rather than resetting any one ring to zero.",
    "cash_out": "The 'CASH OUT' button claims the full current 'Payout' amount (the live combined value accrued from the current segment reached on each ring, at the current Bet Amount) to the balance and resets the round; the wheel visually returns to its idle/rest position with all rings empty.",
    "part_payout": "The 'Part Payout' button pays out only 'the difference between the last and penultimate segments in each filled circle' (quoted verbatim from the Rules booklet, page 3/8) — i.e. only the VALUE OF THE MOST RECENT STEP on every ring that has at least 2 filled segments — while leaving the round running with the earlier segments' value still banked. It is greyed out/shows a dash ('-') until at least one ring has 2+ segments filled; confirmed on part_payout_ready.png (Ghost at 2 segments, Part Payout reads $3.30 = 4.85 − 1.55) vs part_payout.png (post-click state).",
    "auto_free_cashout": "Filling ALL segments of the green (Potion) or blue (Ghost) ring instantly and automatically pays a bonus 'Free Cashout' straight to the balance (Potion: +x20.5 of bet; Ghost: +x7 of bet) — this happens without pressing Cash Out. After paying out, that ring steps back by exactly one segment (per the Rules booklet: '...you'll move one step back in the Potion/Ghost ring') rather than resetting to zero, so play continues uninterrupted.",
    "jack_bonus_game": "Filling ALL SEVEN segments of the red (Jack) ring starts a separate 'Bonus Game' that awards one premium multiplier chosen with equal probability from x100, x200, x300, x400 or x500. At the end of the Bonus Game all Jack ring segments reset to 0, and the player additionally receives the sum of all reset Jack segments (quoted as worth x200 in the booklet) added on top of the drawn bonus tier. NOT observed directly in this capture — see 'not_captured'.",
    "rebet_lock": "Per the onboarding screen and Rules booklet: the bet amount can only be changed once the playfield is completely clear (i.e. between rounds, not while any ring holds progress)."

    "Jack Bonus Game (triggered by filling all 7 red Jack segments) did not occur during a 500-spin automated hunt. No purchase/skip control exists for this feature anywhere in the UI, so it could not be forced. Best progress reached: 4 of 7 segments (x28), later reset to 0 by a landed Skull before the hunt concluded. Documented via two independent channels: (1) a balance-delta detector across all 500 spins caught dozens of Ghost (+7) and Potion (+20.5) Free Cashout events but zero events in the Bonus Game's expected net-payout range (+x100..+x500 of bet); (2) visual review of the burst capture and the final post-hunt frame (jack_bonus_not_triggered.png) shows the Jack ring back at 0 filled segments with no Bonus Game screen ever having appeared. This mirrors three prior 500-spin no-hits in the same 'Vortex' engine family (base Vortex, Vortex 2, Vortex Power Kick — see turbo.md playbook)."

The provider page in the slot record (turbogames.io/games/vortexhalloween/) states verbatim: \"Vortex Halloween has an RTP of 96% and a maximum win of x700.\" So x700 rests on TWO channels: (1) derived from the booklet (x500 top Bonus Game tier + x200 reset-segment bonus) and (2) the provider page. The base Vortex carries the same 700 ceiling in our catalogue. Note the same page prints RTP as a single 96%, which the build contradicts with the range 93.56-97.16% (defect P-T01) - the page is a reliable channel for the ceiling here, not for RTP."
