      "explanation": "The line-win payout tier (0.25 fun on win_screen.png) is numerically identical to a paytable tier, so it alone cannot distinguish 'per line' from 'per total bet'. The basis is settled by two independent printed channels instead: (1) THE JACKPOT LADDER USED AS A RULER — at a printed Total Bet of 0.50 fun, the jackpot ladder shows GRAND 500.00, which the provider itself declares equals x1000 of the bet (paytable p.7 / rules p.6: 'Jackpots are Bet Multipliers ... Grand - x1000'). 500.00 / 0.50 = 1000, an exact match. Dividing by the PER-LINE stake instead (0.50 / 20 lines = 0.025) would require x20000 to reach 500.00, which does not match the declared x1000 at all. (2) The paytable's own header states wins are 'valid for the current bet of 0.50 fun' (the TOTAL bet, printed at the bottom-right of every game screen as 'Total Bet: 0.50 fun'), and rules p.9/p.10 state 'The paytable reflects the current bet configuration, based on the Base Bet' where 'The Base Bet is the bet selected for each new spin or game round' (i.e. the single overall stake, not a per-line fraction of it).",

Resolved to total_bet by direct arithmetic against the jackpot ladder (see technical_summary.payout_basis) — this is a recurring template defect across Push Gaming titles (at least the sixth documented occurrence).",
    "max_win / win cap is not printed anywhere across the 21 read pages of the booklet; treated as an honest omission, reinforced by the rules' own statement that reel configurations vary by Free Spins progression (i.e. no single fixed round structure to cap).",
    "'Push Pots(TM)' is named and disclaimed in the rules text ('purely for visual entertainment, do not influence any Free Spins Feature award') but no separate on-screen 'Collection Pots' element distinct from the three egg-crack meters was identified in any captured frame — likely boilerplate referring to the same egg meters, but not independently confirmed visually.",

    "provider_ref 'wildswarm3chocolateeggs-96' was supplied in advance (rgsGameId from the iframe src) and is a distinct build/code from the base 'Wild Swarm' title family, confirming this is its own dedicated build rather than a shared demo URL for multiple catalogue editions.",
