Monte Carlo / Odds & Evens

A wedge-shaped, top-arched backglass in a bold mid-century cartoon style, dominated by a huge red roulette wheel filling nearly the whole panel, overlaid with two gold-and-black arched title bands reading MONTE CARLO, one across the upper left and a second mirrored band down the right side. Flat yellow-green ground outside the wheel; the wheel rim carries small numbered pockets in white, black, blue and red. Three figures cluster centrally: a platinum-blonde woman in a strapless orange-red dress with a blue feathered headpiece, her bare arm around a tuxedoed mustachioed man in a white dinner jacket, black bow tie and red carnation; behind his right shoulder stands a tall auburn-haired woman in a low-cut pale gown. Champagne buckets with tilted bottles at the lower left and lower right, a martini glass with a cherry at left, a silver cigarette case and ashtray at right. Four cream score reels in gold bezels sit across the middle and lower area, each preceded by a numbered red-and-blue ball marker. Ironing-board style instruction panels at bottom left and centre right.

A square backglass panel with a plain emerald-green background framing a large tilted oval roulette-wheel motif. Across the top of the oval, in arched red block capitals with black shading and white highlights on a red band, is the title ODDS & EVENS. Around the oval's rim runs a roulette number ring in alternating red, black and white segments with gold and white numerals. Inside, on a warm yellow-to-orange radial burst, a dark-haired moustached man with a white streak in his hair grins and points one index finger upward; he wears a white dress shirt, black bow tie and wristwatch. A blonde woman in a white feathered headdress, green strapless gown and long white gloves leans from behind his left shoulder, arm across his chest. Left of them: a silver cocktail shaker, two martini glasses and a champagne bucket with a bottle; right, another ice bucket. Below are stacked red, white, blue and grey casino chips, a six-window score reel panel, and a golden roulette wheel with a silver figurine at lower left. At lower right a green octagonal plaque reads BALLS TO PLAY above two red flippers and two red plunger balls. Gold cursive Bally sits top-left.
