Distinctive

The whole glass is one continuous cartoon saloon scene painted over pale floorboards, so the card table, the crowd of gamblers and the giant red JOKERS WILD lettering all share the same wooden floor rather than sitting in separate panels. A grinning jester with a red pointed fool's cap, long pointed nose, curled moustache and green ruffled collar fills the bottom-right corner, glancing sideways and pointing back at the lettering. Four white score windows, each preceded by a big painted playing-card suit (heart, spade, club, club), are stacked in a descending diagonal across the glass. A blonde woman in a sleeveless scarlet mini-dress perches on a wooden chair at the left edge, and a bald man in a white red-spotted shirt leans across the green felt table from the bottom.

Full description

A cartoon card-table backglass in a saloon/bar interior with pale tan plank wooden flooring running diagonally across the whole scene. Four white scoring windows with black mechanical number wheels and playing-card suit icons at their left ends are stacked down the middle of the glass: the top one beside a red heart reads 2 3 0 7 0 0, the second beside a black spade, the third beside a black club, and the bottom beside a club reads a row of zeros; one wheel is stuck on a red 1. Large red block letters with a yellow-gold outline spell JOKERS on one line and WILD below it, occupying the right-centre of the glass. A green rectangular counter panel down the far right edge carries four numbered roundels 1, 2, 3, 4 beside a small bottle-and-glass icon. At the top left a yellow-and-green Sonic logo sits on a pale blue banner; a red Jester figure and a green-hatted jester loom behind the top score window. On the left, roughly a dozen cartoon gamblers crowd a green oval card table: a blonde woman in a tight red dress, a bald man in a white shirt with red polka dots and red trousers, a brunette in a white top holding a fan of cards, and a curly-haired woman in a yellow dress. Top right a joker in a red-and-yellow fool's cap dances among bottles. CAN PLAY is printed in red at upper right and BALL IN PLAY in red at bottom centre.
