Fingerprint: "Pokerino" fat red cursive, two-headed pin-up with queen-of-hearts and king-of-diamonds faces, pink-stockinged legs, playing-card fanned shelves, yellow sunburst rays.
The central figure has two playing-card faces for a head - a Queen of Hearts and a King of Diamonds side by side on one body of pink-stockinged legs. The title 'Pokerino' is written in enormous red cursive with a flourish underline spanning nearly half the panel, beneath a small red script 'Williams' marquee. Both side ramps curve upward like theatre wings, each stacked with fanned decks of cards above blank grey seven-segment score windows. A row of court cards with visible legs in high heels stands on a magenta stage at lower left.

A deep, stage-set backglass painted in bright airbrushed casino colours. A curved yellow marquee band across the top carries a small red script wordmark reading 'Williams' beside a round emblem, and beneath it the huge title 'Pokerino' in fat red cursive with a white and yellow outline and a long sweeping underline flourish. The background is a burst of yellow and olive sunbeams radiating from a deep blue arched alcove with concentric rings. In the centre stands a cartoon playing-card pin-up figure whose head is a two-card royal: a Queen of Hearts on the left and a King of Diamonds on the right, both crowned and shouldered, with bare pink-stockinged female legs, orange high-heeled shoes, and sheer yellow-clad arms holding an oversized fan of cards. Left of her a row of smaller court cards stands on slender legs in heels on a magenta stage. Curving orange and pink ramps sweep up both sides, each carrying shelves of fanned playing cards and grey-blue seven-segment score displays. A blue-grey tiled floor and a yellow stepped apron run along the bottom edge.
