Kings & Queens

A full-length shot looking down onto an electromechanical playfield, with the ball trough, apron and the front of the cabinet below. The board is a long tapering wedge of pale cream and tan with a symmetrical, mirror-image layout: five starburst pop bumpers up top, each with a red '10' cap, sitting on a striped yellow-and-orange background. Below them run two rows of small oval lane guides and portrait medallions, then a dark-blue and red banded middle section carrying four vertical drop-target banks labelled MORE KINGS, KINGS, MORE QUEENS and QUEENS, their targets printed as columns of small red-and-white discs. The centre of the board is dominated by two cartoon royal busts in profile back-to-back - a smiling blond king in a gold crown and a pale queen in a red-and-gold diadem - set in a heart-shaped medallion above a red script logo on a white lozenge. Two lower triangular slingshots flank a round centre target and read KINGS 6 POINTS and QUEENS 6 POINTS; each triangle carries a painted court figure in red and green. The apron below is pale blue-grey with a red-and-white arrow and blue arrow bracketing FLIPPER BUTTONS, an oval BALLS PLAYED window, a cream instruction card headed KINGS & QUEENS at the left, and a red-outlined PLAY TILL / TILT / EM'S GAME plate at the right. Two white-coated flippers, two chrome plungers and a chrome ball-shooter sit below.

A printed backglass on cream ivory board, with a large rounded-rectangle painted panel framed by a wide cream border carrying vertical blue and red stripe blocks down each side and three circles (red, blue, red) along the bottom. Inside the panel, a gambling-parlour scene: a long green-felted card table with stacks of red, white and blue poker chips runs from the lower centre into the mid-ground. Upper left carries a stacked logo reading GOTTLIEB'S above KINGS & QUEENS in fat, rounded, italic block letters with a yellow-to-orange gradient, red outline and dark shadow; the ampersand sits on a dark red rounded square. Upper right shows a glowing red digit 5 in a small window. Four large foreground figures: a blonde woman in a coral-red strapless gown with white trim and a jewelled tiara holding two pink-backed cards; a red-haired woman in a green-and-gold harlequin bodice with a ruffled skirt raising one arm over her head and holding a fan of cards; a moustached man in a hot-pink suit jacket and white hat seated in a green chair fanning cards; and, at bottom right, a crouching man in a blue suit and red vest holding a box camera to his eye. Background shows a bar with shelves of bottles, a staircase with a railing, small onlookers, and a woman in a long blue gown near the right. Overprinted at lower centre is a white score window with black digits ,3 5 1 above the word SCORE, flanked by fanned playing cards and a small GAME OVER sign at lower left. Style is flat, brightly coloured mid-century cartoon line art.
