Identify the transition event
Check which symbols or conditions move the game from the variable main grid into the locked-symbol feature. Record the triggering round before the screen changes.
Know Which Part of the Game Is Still Running
A tumble replaces winning symbols inside a round. A hold-and-win feature normally locks selected symbols and uses a separate respin counter. When a title combines both, each stage needs its own record.
Follow the correct counter
During tumbles, track replacement stages and any cascade multiplier. During hold-and-win, track respins remaining, locked values and whether a new qualifying symbol resets the counter.
Read value collection rules
Confirm whether displayed cash values are summed, multiplied, upgraded or collected only when the feature ends. A value on screen is not necessarily the final account credit.
Reconcile the combined settlement
Keep the base-round ID, feature total and account ledger together. If the transition freezes, support needs the original round reference rather than a guess about the missing animation.
