Lighting is warm golden dusk god-rays cutting through a cool blue-teal forest haze, with floating light-particle sparkles; overall mood is cheerful and whimsical rather than dramatic or dark. Straight-on frontal view of the 5x4 reel grid (no top-down or isometric angle); no neon, no futuristic or metallic elements.",

The bet ladder is also built as 20 x a whole cent amount at every step (min 0.20 fun = exactly 0.01 fun/line, and every rung up to 100.00 fun divides evenly by 20 into a representable per-line stake), consistent with a per-line-denominated paytable.",
    "consumer_note": "This describes the GAME'S internal construction, not the catalogue field format. When quoting symbol payouts as multipliers for the catalogue, they are expressed as multipliers of the TOTAL bet (0.40 fun), i.e. printed_value / 0.40 — e.g. 4 White Daisies pay 0.80 fun -> 2.0x total bet. Do not divide by the per-line stake (0.40/20 = 0.02) when producing catalogue multipliers.",
    "measurement_caveat": "A direct arithmetic proof from a captured win frame is degenerate here: win_screen.png shows WIN 0.80 fun at Total Bet 0.40 fun, and the printed tier for 4 White Daisies at the SAME 0.40 fun anchor is also 0.80 fun, but the win frame's reel also contains a Chest symbol and Wild/Wild-Honey symbols from the same round, so the 0.80 cannot be attributed to the daisies alone with full certainty. It does not change the basis conclusion above, which rests on the text quote and the bet-ladder structure, not on this frame's arithmetic."
