Fingerprint: poker face title in yellow capitals with heavy red drop shadow on royal-blue background; enormous fanned double hand of oversized playing cards filling lower half framing white-hatted figure seen from behind; Western saloon gambling scene featuring grinning cowboy, top-hatted gentleman with dark glasses, elderly man counting cash, blonde showgirl in red-white striped bustier gathered around green card table
The single most memorable feature is a huge double fan of oversized playing cards filling the entire bottom half of the glass, one fan of hearts and diamonds on the left and one of spades and diamonds on the right, framing a white-hatted figure seen from behind in the middle. Above them sits a Western saloon gambling tableau with a grinning cowboy, a top-hatted gent with dark glasses, an old man counting cash, and a blonde showgirl in a striped bustier, all crowded around a green card table. The giant yellow POKER FACE title with red drop shadow on a flat royal-blue background is the second unmistakable cue.

Flat, brightly coloured cartoon backglass. Across the top, huge block letters spell POKER FACE in tall yellow capitals with heavy red drop shadow and white highlight on a deep blue field; a small cursive word 'Toney's' sits at upper left. Below is a cream score window framed in red, labelled SCORE in white, holding mechanical digit wheels. The scene is a saloon gambling room: at far left a grinning cowboy in a pale blue hat, green neckerchief and yellow shirt; beside him a gent in a blue top hat and dark glasses; centre-right an elderly grey-haired man in a blue coat counting fanned banknotes; at far right a blonde showgirl in a red-and-white striped bustier holding cards. Behind them a red-haired woman in pink and a man in a blue jacket sit at a green card table, with a bar at right. The lower half is dominated by two enormous fanned hands of playing cards — hearts left, spades and diamonds right — behind a yellow band reading BALLS PLAYED at bottom left. Dominant colours: blue, yellow, red, cream.
