The splash screen also features a white tiger standing beside the gladiator.

The in-game rotating promo banner (seen on multiple frames, e.g. bet_menu_min.png / bonus_superwild_03 context) independently prints 'WIN UP TO 4000X BET', confirming the total-bet-basis figure matches the per-line-basis figure once converted.
