A pin-up style woman with a pipe in her mouth, in a red polka-dot blouse, sprawled across a giant red-white-blue bullseye of concentric rings. Directly above her, a five-window reel display reads 30850. A green semicircular fan below her holds an arch of card ranks K J A Q 10 and a row of numerals 2 through 9 in alternating red and blue circles, like a card-and-poker motif.

A painted backglass in a roughly square format with a wide pale blue-green mottled border carrying red-and-cream arrowhead spikes down each side and two round chrome-rimmed inserts, one per side. The title MISSISSIPPI spans the top in large cream-white block capitals outlined in red and black, arched over a red sunburst backing. Directly beneath, a white five-window mechanical score reel reads 3 0 8 5 0. The centre of the art shows one woman: a young adult with long wavy black hair, blue eyes and red lipstick, wearing a red-and-white polka-dot blouse with puffed sleeves over a red-and-white striped bodice. She holds a long dark pipe or hose stub in her mouth and leans forward, both arms stretched down and left, hands resting on a red-white-and-blue concentric-ring disc. Behind her are two flat blue-and-grey paddle-wheel riverboat/boat-deck structures, one at each side, with railings and window bands. The lower third is a green semicircular fan framed by a blue arc, carrying an arc of red and blue lettered and numbered circles: K J A Q 10 in the upper arc and 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 in a straight row beneath. Dominant colours are red, blue, cream-white, green.
