Both side borders carry identical vertical columns of six pink-outlined white five-pointed stars on red. Four red LED score windows, two along the top and two along the bottom, are paired with oversized orange player numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4.

A landscape-format backglass set in a pale blue-grey metal cabinet frame, filled edge to edge with an airbrushed circus-carnival scene in hot orange, yellow, red and black. A huge white-and-purple cursive logo reading 'Devil Riders', with a black drop shadow and three small white stars, sits on a red banner across the top, framed by yellow-and-brown striped tent poles and bunting. Below it four red seven-segment LED windows show 0,169,410 (upper left, beside a large orange '1'), 0,000,000 (upper right, beside a large orange '2'), and 0,000,000 and 0,000,000 along the lower left and lower right, with a large '3' and '4' between them. The centre of the art is a giant tilted red-and-orange concentric spiral vortex ringed with dark metal, green rubber and orange bumpers marked 2000, 4000, 6000 and 8000, with a motorcyclist in blue leathers and helmet leaned into the middle of it. Right of centre stands a blonde young woman in a blue denim vest, short denim shorts and boots, one hand raised to her face, looking up at the spiral. Further right is a fairground game-time-bonus booth with a purple down arrow, green UP/CREDITS lamps and yellow star panels, plus a white bulldog figure beside the machinery. Vertical side panels each carry a column of six pink-outlined white stars on red. The bottom apron shows a row of coloured triangular bunting, a pale blue window box at left, and four coloured numbered player panels.
