A brightly painted seaside-pier backglass in a flat 1950s-60s comic style, dominated by orange, green, red and sky blue. The layout is almost symmetrical: two large green oval panels, one at each upper corner, each ringed by small red-and-white circles marked with point values and enclosing a red starburst badge reading SPECIAL SCORE with a yellow star. Across the top edge, big chunky orange numerals outlined in white and shadowed in black spell out 1 2 3 4 5 on the left and again on the right. At top centre a small white-on-black cartouche reads PLAYER 1, with two stacked round lights below it, a red circle with 1 and a yellow circle with 2, and PLAYER 2 in orange lettering at the top right. A yellow ribbon banner below the centre lights carries the cursive words Bill in Play. Beneath each green oval is a black-rimmed orange window of three reel drums showing 000, with a red plaque beneath reading 1st Player on the left and 3rd Player on the right. Between and behind them runs a red-and-yellow striped awning. The lower centre is dominated by a large bust of a smiling young woman with curly blonde hair, arched brows, red lips and a low-cut white dress, rendered in soft airbrushed tones. Behind her, in pale blue, is a seaside scene of a promenade with lamp posts, buildings, a horse and rider, and a green-and-cream double-decker vehicle. The word PICCADILLY appears in large red-orange capitals with a dark outline on a white banner running diagonally across the lower left.
