A tall illustrated backglass showing a bright Riviera seaside scene. Across the top right sits a huge arched block-letter title reading CANNES in red capitals with a heavy yellow outline, and above it a small green-and-yellow S emblem beside the word Segasa. Behind the title a red-and-white striped parasol and a large red-and-white sail fill the upper right. On the left, a coastal town of white and ochre apartment blocks and palm trees lines a blue-green bay, with a red-and-white striped lighthouse on a rocky point. Four white score panels with red, green and orange borders are stacked down the right half, each preceded by a coloured balloon-shaped player badge numbered 1 UP, 2 UP, 3 UP and 4 UP in red, teal, green and yellow. The numerals 1 9 2 1 2 0 fill the top-left panel and rows of 0s and 9s fill the others. Three foreground figures in mid-century comic-book style: a blonde woman in a red sleeveless top and yellow bikini bottoms wading in the water at left, a tanned dark-haired man sitting on a boat deck holding a thick rope in the centre, and a curly blonde woman in a green swimsuit reclining against the sail at right. A small motorboat with two passengers rides the choppy water behind the man. Bottom left are two illuminated windows labelled GAME OVER and BALL IN PLAY.

A painted backglass in a hot 1960s comic style, dominated by a Riviera sea scene in orange, teal-blue and red. Upper right carries a small green-and-white S-arrow logo above the huge arched title MONACO, lettered in fat orange capitals with yellow inner faces and a dark red drop shadow. Four cream-bordered score windows with yellow mechanical number reels are stacked down the right side, each preceded by a coloured roundel reading 1 UP, 2 UP, 3 UP and 4 UP. The background is a bay at night: a teal sky with a horizontal scale of small numerals 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90, a lighthouse on a headland, orange and cream high-rise hotels with rooftop lettering, a beach of tiny figures, and dark teal water dotted with red-and-white buoys. Foreground figures: a shirtless tanned man with black hair reclining on the foredeck of a speedboat at centre, a blonde woman in a yellow bikini standing on the port bow, a brunette woman in a yellow bikini being towed on a water ski behind a small cabin motorboat, and a curly blonde woman in a red swimsuit sprawled on the red-and-cream hull at right, one arm raised holding a rope. The hull bears the black code S-21.
