The bearded king on the right has an orange face, curled golden beard and moustache, a pink-and-yellow crown band with red fleur-de-lis, and a blue-and-green robe covered in zigzags, diamonds, flowers and chevrons; his sleeve is orange with a green-and-red striped cuff. Between them, an irregular purple polygon badge carries the title in big fat yellow block letters with a white drop shadow, and above it in pink cursive is a small word beside a white circle emblem. A silver-rimmed score window strip at upper left holds six reels reading 2 7 2 5 0 after one blank. Colour-coded insert panels - red, yellow, orange and one labelled 50 - run along the top, and a yellow band across the bottom reads BALLS TO PLAY, with a red GAME OVER panel and magenta diamond clusters.

A yellow band across the bottom reads BALLS TO PLAY with three pink diamonds, and tiny print sits at the right end.
