Which term refers to the documentation that describes game design details such as the pay table and mechanical reel strips?

• A. Rule Book
• B. Design Spec
• C. Pay Sheet
• D. PAR Sheet

Answer: (D)

In slot game development, the official document that records every payout detail and how the reels are arranged is called the PAR Sheet. This sheet lays out the paytable, the exact reel strips, symbol distribution, betting options, and other settings that together define the game’s math and behavior. It serves as the authoritative blueprint for designers, testers, and regulators, ensuring everyone references the same payout structure and reel configuration when developing, testing, or approving the game. Other terms don’t fit this specific role: a rule book covers how to play, not the internal design data; a design spec is a broader document about features and mechanics but isn’t the industry-standard name for this payout/reel blueprint; a pay sheet isn’t the established term used for documenting a game’s design details.
