Fingerprint: Hi Straight title in white script with pink shadow over large green oval casino table with five narrow card windows along edge, four pin-up women in headscarf, yellow top, red top and blue bikini surrounding table, red-orange-yellow ribbon streamers sweeping diagonally across dark maroon field, small green gaming markers below windows, green score panel at bottom with numerals and MATCH
The dominant feature is a huge emerald green oval casino table with five tall narrow card windows running along its curved edge, which the four women are all reaching towards. Over the top, the title reads Hi Straight in large white script with a pink shadow, with small yellow cursive Keeney's tucked to its left. Bright red, orange and yellow ribbon streamers sweep diagonally across the whole backglass, partly covering the figures. Four 1950s pin-up women in headscarf, yellow top, red top and blue bikini top form a semicircle around the table.

Vivid cartoon-illustrated backglass in crimson, emerald green, yellow and flesh pink. A large green oval gaming table dominates the centre, its near edge carrying five narrow vertical card/slot windows in a row, with three small round gaming-table markers (red, blue, yellow) below them. Four pin-up style women crowd around the table: at top left a red-haired woman in a yellow-and-red spotted headscarf and yellow top, mouth open laughing, one hand raised; at top right a blonde woman in a yellow top leaning in with an arm extended toward the table; at bottom left a short blonde bob-haired woman in a red top smiling upward; at bottom right a brunette in a blue bikini top reaching across the table. Sweeping red, orange, yellow and pale pink ribbon streamers cascade diagonally across the background, over a dark maroon field with a fine grid. Headline lettering arches across the top: small yellow cursive script reading Keeney's, then a large white and pink script title. Along the bottom a bright green score panel shows a row of numerals 1 through 9, the word MATCH, and coloured score reels in red, yellow, blue and green.
