Slots: the Reel Bench
10 machine cards on one bench: stake range, published return, feature caps and wagering weights are read per slot, with variants named where they differ.
Offers, bench-tested
Four operators on the bench at a time: each one read against its own published terms - the entry price, the wagering load, the rails, the payout window. The readings are ours; the offers are quoted in the operator's own words.
Every card carries its reading on a 10-point dial plus four axis chips - terms, payments, withdrawal and licence. Offers move often - the operator's own page is always the current truth.

Cards appear in dial order, alphabetical order breaking ties. The dial visualises published figures, not a promise; nothing here is a recommendation to gamble, and the operator's own terms decide every claim.
Reading slots against the terms
A slot carries a machine card, and the card is the spec. Each guide on this bench reads it: the stake range, the published long-run return, the feature-winnings cap and the wagering weight behind it. The adjectives stay off the bench; the readings keep to figures the terms print.

How to use this bench
One machine card per stop: open the guide, then read the info screen against it before the first spin loads. Every guide on this bench reads the published return as a long-run figure, and names the variant whenever two versions of a machine differ.
