Fingerprint: Pin-up woman gripping giant pearly crystal ball marked with grey question mark, playing-card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) woven through bright orange hair, CHANCE in green-and-yellow block letters arcing upper right, three stacked arrow-shaped digital windows with numbered circles 1-2-3 down left edge, concentric rainbow swirls radiating from white starburst, black background with polka dots, 1960s trippy psychedelic style.

Distinctive

The most memorable feature is the pin-up woman gripping a giant pearly crystal ball bearing a grey question mark, with playing-card suits threaded through her bright orange hair. Second is the huge CHANCE title arcing in green-and-yellow block letters across the upper right. Third, three arrow-shaped digital score windows stacked down the left side, each paired with a numbered circle 1, 2, 3. Fourth, the psychedelic background of concentric rainbow swirls bursting from a white starburst over a black polka-dot field.

Full description

Translucent backglass with a black background covered in scattered polka dots of pink, blue, green, yellow and orange, overlaid by tight concentric rainbow swirls in red, pink, orange, yellow and pale blue that radiate from a bright white starburst just above centre. A single pin-up woman dominates the middle: she has voluminous swept-back orange-red hair, heavy blue eye shadow, blue eyes, red lips and a headband of small playing-card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) in her hair. She wears a blue dress with white polka dots and holds a large pearly white crystal ball at chest height with both hands; a grey question mark is painted on the ball's face. Down the left edge are three stacked elongated diamond/arrow shapes in orange and dark green, each containing a red seven-segment digital readout, with a numbered circle beside each: 1, 2 and 3. Across the top right, small blue capitals read 1 PLAYER, and beneath them the main title CHANCE curves in large green-and-yellow block letters with a red outline. Small green boxed legends sit at the right edge, and the bottom carries a green arch above the word PLAYERS in red capitals, with CAN PLAY beneath and four numbered player circles.
