Fingerprint: "EASY ACES" split title top. Grinning polka-dotted jester in blue-red-yellow two-pointed cap with white ruff collar. Seven tilted score cards 1-7 (each "MILLION") in various colours. Oversized flat card suits (red, green, orange, blue, yellow) left side. 4-by-5 grid playing cards centre-right. Crowned blonde in full-length yellow gown at right.
The huge cluster of oversized flat card suits in five different colours spilling down the left side, overlapped against a 4-by-5 grid of real playing cards — a card motif covering most of the lower two-thirds. A grinning polka-dotted jester in a floppy two-pointed cap is wedged between the words EASY and ACES at the top centre. Seven tilted score cards numbered 1 to 7, each captioned MILLION, arc across the top in different colours. A yellow-gowned, tiara-crowned blonde woman stands full length at the right edge, unusually static and formal against the busy card play.

A painted 1950s-style American pinball backglass set against a flat pale blue-green field, framed by a varnished wood rail. Across the top, curved red block letters with yellow and white outline spell EASY on the left and ACES on the right, with ACES set slightly higher and angled; above the left word, a cursive black script reads Gottlieb's. Under the script sits a smiling jester or carnival clown in a blue costume covered in white polka dots, wearing a drooping two-pointed cap in blue, red and yellow, with a white ruff collar and a red-and-yellow striped body, one hand raised holding a small white card. A red banner on his chest carries white cursive lettering, Gottlieb's, with a line of smaller white text below that I cannot resolve. Seven tilted white score cards arc across the upper half, each with a large coloured numeral and the word MILLION beneath: 1 gold, 2 blue, 3 red, 4 green, 5 yellow, 6 gold, 7 red. A small red-haired showgirl in a blue two-piece stands beside several of these cards. The left third is filled with huge flat card suits in red, green, orange, blue and yellow. A 4-by-5 grid of playing cards occupies the centre-right, mixing aces and face cards. A blonde showgirl in a strapless red dress sits at bottom centre, another in a blue dress sits at a green table to her left, and a crowned blonde in a full-length yellow gown stands at right holding a small red object.
