A short story from the game world
A fluffy yellow lion-dance head with big blue eyes and a pompom on top grins beneath a row of red roof tiles. Paper lanterns hang from the eaves, and the lion looks more ready for a banquet than a parade.

- The stated win cap is 2,500×, in the lower part of the range for this family (median 5,000×). A cap is a rulebook limit, not an expected outcome.
