Flip Flop

Full-length electromechanical playfield shot from above inside its wooden cabinet, with the front of the cabinet and coin door visible at the bottom. The field is dominated by a wide crimson-red outer lane running round a steel ball guide, a turquoise-blue central panel, and a large red wedge down the middle carrying a column of horseshoe-shaped targets stamped 1000 to 10,000 in gold. Four drop targets with playing-card-suit faces sit in an arc across the top, below a red barn-like housing with a white X-brace motif. Two yellow-capped pop bumpers flank the drop targets, and two large round bumpers with sunburst faces reading 100 and MARKED 100 sit midway. Illustrated cartoon figures decorate the blue field: a jester/clown figure at upper left, a grinning clown head at left, a woman in a hat at right, a mustachioed man below her, and playing-card-suited jester figures on the cream apron panels at both lower corners. Cream instruction cards fill the apron, with a huge red script logo centred between them.

A Western-themed painted backglass set in a desert canyon at dusk, with a teal-blue sky, orange clouds and layered purple mesa rock behind a red-and-tan adobe ranch house with a white X-braced barn door. Across the upper band two covered canvas wagons with big black spoked wheels face inward, each hitched to a brown horse, and above them a horseshoe-shaped medallion holds a red cursive wordmark. Four cream mechanical score windows span the width, framed by red bands patterned with black geometric glyphs, separated by horseshoe-framed oval player windows reading 1 UP, 2 UP, 3 UP and 4 UP. Dominating the centre is a cartoon caricature of a wild-haired man in a bright red double-breasted shirt and blue jeans, leaping with one arm outstretched, clutching a smoking pistol, and tumbling head-first off a rearing white horse; his white hat flies off beside him. Huge cream-yellow block letters with black drop shadow spell FLIP FLOP! across the middle. At left a grinning feather-headdress chief in a red loincloth holds a peace sign; at right three seated card players in bright shirts and cowboy hats play beside a red barn. Foreground details include a saguaro cactus, a small white cat, a dead steer, a rearing mustang, an open-mouthed grinning dog, cactus, playing cards and scrub grass.

Colourful hand-painted cartoon Western backglass, landscape format, under a bright blue sky streaked with flat yellow clouds and backed by pink-magenta mesas. Across the middle, enormous block letters in yellow with heavy black outlines and a yellow five-pointed star read FLIP, then a falling cowboy, then FLOP!. The central figure is a laughing dark-haired man in a red shirt, blue jeans and boots, tumbling head-first through the air with one arm flung up and a wide open-mouthed grin. At the left a stern-faced Native American chief in a full multicoloured feather headdress rides a white horse; at the right three more cowboys in coloured hats ride along a ridge towards a red barn, with a brown horse's head below them. Four yellow horseshoe arches carry red 1 UP and 2 UP lettering and pointing-hand icons, and two banks of white score reels in red and yellow tiled surrounds run across the top and bottom. A white-and-brown dog bounds across the lower centre beside a small white kitten. Two white canvas covered wagons sit at the top corners, and green cactus and grass tufts line the sandy foreground.
