Fingerprint: Fairground carnival with yellow roller-coaster and red train upper left, yellow Ferris wheel upper right. "JUMPIA JACKS" logo in white block letters.

A big red-and-blue jack-in-the-box score panel reading JACK IN THE BOX in white scalloped letters, sitting under a chunky white JUMPIA JACKS logo with a red shadow. Above the logo a dark blue EXTRA BALLS plaque shows the numerals 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 and 1,0 with a jack-in-the-box symbol replacing the 5. The scene is a fairground: a yellow roller coaster with a red train of riders on the left and a big yellow Ferris wheel on the right, against a pale blue sky. Three reels in rounded orange-red frames show 0 0 0, with a small red TILT shield directly above them.

A carnival and fairground backglass painted in flat, bright, mid-century cartoon style, mounted in a pale varnished wood-grain cabinet frame with black rubber trim and small round chrome-and-blue plastic bulbs at the corners. The upper half shows a pale sky-blue sky with puffy white clouds and small flags: a yellow roller-coaster rail curving in from the upper left carrying a train of red cars with tiny dark-blue seated riders, a second white-and-black track crossing diagonally from centre-left to upper right, and a large yellow-spoked Ferris wheel at the right with a yellow-and-white bullseye hub and small coloured gondolas. Pink and lilac striped tent tops, a dark navy tent and bunting flags sit along the horizon. Centre-top is a red-bordered shield reading TILT above a bank of three mechanical score reels, each set in a rounded orange-red plaque, showing 0 0 0. Below, a dark blue cartouche edged in yellow carries EXTRA BALLS in yellow capitals over white numerals 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 and 1,0. The main logo, JUMPIA JACKS, is heavy white block lettering with a red-and-orange drop shadow on a yellow field. Under it, JACK IN THE BOX is spelled in white on scalloped red and blue panels, above rows of yellow triangles and a rank of slim chrome jacks with pale hands.
