Round Timer Notes
A timer, lock, or paused panel can change how the rest of the screen should be read. Do not treat a reel panel as current until the round state is clear.
Timers change the meaning of a screen
Simple checks that matter
Lock mark
A lock can mean a selection area is closed, waiting, or no longer available. Read it before looking at symbols.
Paused panels
Dimmed or frozen reel panels may show an old state. Compare them with any fresh message on the screen.
Refresh delay
If the screen refreshes slowly, wait for the state to settle before reading the result area.
When the timer or lock changes, your reading should restart from the top of the screen.
