Fingerprint: riverboat gambler, green-red pie-segment prize wheel with gold star, scarlet corset showgirl with opera glove, monocled pinstriped gambler in top hat white gloves, SHUT THE DOOR ribbon, red-window score display, stacked gold coins, elaborate gold filigree scrollwork surrounding wheel
The dead-centre prize wheel - a green and red pie with a gold star at the hub - surrounded by elaborate gold filigree, flanked by a showgirl in a scarlet corset and opera glove on one side and a monocled, pinstriped riverboat gambler in a top hat and white gloves on the other. The bicoloured RED / GREEN / BLACK window strips directly under the wheel are unusually specific. A small ribbon near the reels reads SHUT THE DOOR.

| Woman | Left panel, curvy showgirl with dark upswept hair and a wide toothy grin, wearing a strapless scarlet corset bodice and one scarlet elbow-length opera glove, bare thigh visible, one gloved hand raised to the brim of a small hat at her head, other hand on her hip |
| Man | Right panel, stout middle-aged riverboat gambler in a tall black top hat, black monocle, grey pinstripe suit with black tie, one white-gloved hand tipping his hat and the other gloved finger raised to his lips in a shushing gesture, standing beside stacked gold coins |
A painted, cartoon-illustrated backglass split into three vertical zones. Left: a curvy woman in a strapless scarlet corset and matching elbow-length opera glove, dark hair swept up, a lopsided grin, one gloved hand raised to her hat brim, standing against warm orange-brown boards. Above her a huge logo reading RIVERBOAT GAMBLER in chunky red block letters with heavy white and black drop shadow. Centre: a green-and-red pie-segment prize wheel with a gold star and red star on its hub, mounted in ornate gold filigree scrollwork, flanked by a small blue-and-gold CHIPS label above and RED / GREEN / BLACK window labels below. Right: a stout man in a black top hat, monocle and grey pinstripe suit with a black tie, white-gloved hand tipping his hat, gloved finger raised to his lips in a shushing pose, beside a stack of gold coin stacks and a riveted green boiler-like column. Top right: a black rectangle holding a red seven-window score display showing 584700, framed by brass plates with red jewels, and a small white ribbon reading SHUT THE DOOR. A narrow instruction banner runs along the very bottom edge.
