Pool Sharks

Full-length electro-mechanical-style pinball playfield shot from above under glass, with the wooden cabinet rails, the front of the cabinet and the coin-door area visible below the apron. The playfield is a teal/blue-green pool-hall-meets-ocean theme. A large inverted triangular panel of numbered white circles (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 1X, 3X, 2X) sits in the centre, below it a row of four round multiplier medallions reading 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, then RACHS, two small triangular targets showing 1 and 3, and an inverted white triangle marked 2 above the two grey flippers and a large black-and-white 8-ball style shooter/drain cover. On both lower sides are painted portraits of blonde women in swimwear beside the two white instruction panels reading LANCE CHARGE HOLD BUTTON FOR STATUS REPORT and SELECT 8 BALL OR 9 BALL. The upper playfield holds a red-and-white striped area, a small pool-table and shark-jaw mechanism, three lit bumpers, and lane markings. The apron carries a FREE PLAY card, a central logo of a shark's open jaws with crossed cues, and an 8 BALL AND 9 BALL PLAY SCORE instruction card.

A painted backglass with a separate narrow header panel across the top showing three framed cartoon shark cards. The centre card sits under the yellow word JACKPOT on a black-and-white chequered strip and is labelled HAMMERHEAD; the left card shows a shark-headed figure in a red pinstripe suit labelled GREAT WHITE, the right card a muscular orange-striped shark labelled TIGER SHARK. Below, on the main glass, a red cursive script maker's logotype sits at upper left. The centre is dominated by an explosive orange-and-yellow starburst containing the title: POOL in black-outlined yellow letters above SHARKS in huge orange-red slab serif letters with a cream highlight. Two flat cartoon shark heads with grinning teeth flank the burst, above horizontal green, orange and yellow stripes. Beneath sit three anthropomorphic sharks: a hammerhead in a yellow shirt and orange waistcoat holding a cue upright, a great white in an orange suit jacket and tie, and a tiger shark in an orange striped body, all behind a green baize pool table with racked coloured balls and a wooden rail. Two blonde pin-up women in low-cut orange tops frame the left and right edges. Three cream caption boxes name the sharks and their pseudo-Latin binomials. A red seven-segment style score display panel runs along the bottom.
