Fingerprint: "Capri" slanted cursive, pin-up women in pirate hats and two-piece swimwear on beach, two-column coloured value ladder 900,000 descending, nine numbered circles, chrome hand.

Distinctive

The enormous slanted two-column ladder of brightly coloured prize-value panels sweeping diagonally up the right half, top panel reading 900,000, with a large illustrated hand reaching in beside it. Second is the big cursive white-and-red Capri script slanted across the sky beneath a row of nine numbered circles. Third, the cluster of four pin-up women in pirate hats and two-piece swimwear staged on a beach with palm trees. Fourth, a chrome ball or mirror and a discarded pair of sunglasses lying on the sand at the foot of the ladder.

Full description

A wide painted backglass showing a tropical beach: pale blue sky, sea, a distant green headland and two leaning palm trees at the left edge, all bordered by a plain light wooden cabinet frame. Across the top runs a value band with MILLION at far left and nine numbered circles 1 to 9 in alternating orange, blue, green, red and yellow; below that, small white outlined capitals read CHICAGO COIN'S above a large cursive Capri in white with a red drop shadow and swash underline. Four pin-up women fill the lower half: at left a brunette in a black pirate hat, red-and-white polka-dot halter top, blue denim mini-skirt, white socks and blue shoes, one arm raised pointing; beside her a woman in a yellow two-piece and headscarf seated on the sand; centre a blonde in a yellow shell bikini top and pink fringed skirt, laughing with arms flung out; at bottom right a red-haired woman in a red pirate hat and spectacles holding a drink. The right two-thirds is dominated by a slanted ladder of coloured value panels whose two columns of numbers rise from 10,000 to 900,000.
