Kobow differentiation playbook
Theme angles
- Substituir 'Fortune' por «Kentucky Crown» — Bourbon Trail crown jewel narrative.
- Pollard Defend strategy: este NÃO precisa diferenciar do existente, precisa ser o $50 mais polido possível.
- Visual upgrade: foil + emboss + matte coating — premium feel para o RFP 2026.
Mechanic tweaks
- Manter mechanic multi-game + multiplier. Tighten odds em ~5% para sinalizar upgrade.
- Add BOURBON BARREL bonus row — Pollard signature feature exclusive to KY.
- Modal de demo: 4 sub-games (uma cidade KY each: Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort, Owensboro).
Art direction
- Paleta bourbon amber + cream + navy — sofisticação destilaria, not casino.
- Typography Cormorant italic editorial — referência a etiqueta de bourbon premium.
- Print: cork-textured scratch coating + embossed barrel staves.
Legal / copy risk
Pollard JÁ is o operador. Nome '$5M Fortune' not is trademark forte. Risco nulo. Strategy: upgrade visual, not substituição.

PRICE BADGE
Top-right corner. Circular gold badge, 52pt diameter (~18% of ticket width). Serif italic. This is the FIRST element the customer sees on the shelf — it must be readable from 6 ft.
TOP PRIZE BANNER
Horizontal banner just below the game name. 32-36pt serif italic value in gold/champagne — twice the size of the game name. Mono "TOP PRIZE" label sits above the value. Second-most-prominent element after price.
GAME NAME
Above the top prize banner. 22-26pt serif italic. Smaller than the top prize value — the prize amount sells the ticket, not the name. Industry convention everyone follows.
FOOTER (legal)
Game number + overall odds + barcode at bottom. Mono 6-8pt. Regulatory requirement — small but legible.
