A row of tall, jagged blue-and-white triangular rays fanning up the centre of a pink backglass, with a tall red slanted title stacked over them. Seven flat-outstretched women in 1960s swimsuits and sunglasses, arms thrown wide, apparently falling or dancing through the middle of the panel. Pale pink cocktail glasses drawn in the top-left and top-right corners on thin sticks, mirrored as a border motif.

Illuminated backglass panel with a pale pink ground divided into three horizontal bands by thin black rules. A spiky blue-and-white starburst of tall triangular rays runs up the centre, carrying the main title in tall red block capitals outlined in white and blue, reading ALCO-HOO, letters stacked and slanted. At top left a green circle logo with a white W beside green Williams script; green FOUR PLAYER lettering at top right. Two black lozenge banners at the top carry red 1UP at left and red 3UP at right, each paired with a pale pink cocktail glass on a stick. Four white mechanical score windows with black digits sit in two rows. The whole piece is populated by about seven stylised women in 1960s swimwear, arms flung up, holding martini glasses, glasses and saucers, and a jukebox-like cabinet, over scattered pink and green confetti, streamers and martini glasses. Black outer border, visible glass reflections and age toning.
