Because total_bet 0.60 = 0.03(bet_size) x 1(bet_level) x 20(base_bet), the per-way unit for this frame was 0.03; 0.06 / 0.03 = 2, i.e. tier_value x ways = 2 for whatever combination won, but tier_value and ways cannot be separated from this evidence alone."

Separately, the five low/royal symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) ARE literally the card-rank letters/number themselves, stylized and colored -- but none of these are the Wild or among the top-3 high symbols used for the logo prompt (Mariachi Bandito / Guitar / Cocktail were used for the logo_refs.json boxes, all three text-free), so this should not affect the generated logo.
