A colossal yellow-and-red eight-pointed starburst drop-target bank in the middle of the lower playfield, with concentric rings of white lamps and score numerals 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 printed radially around it and DOUBLE SPINNER / DOUBLE BONUS WHEN LIT in its middle. Two grinning cartoon cowboys in wide-brimmed hats flank the lower playfield, one on each slingshot, both drawn in flat red, green and teal. A second enormous pink and red starburst medallion sits across the top centre behind the upper lanes, giving the field a very unusual double-starburst geometry.

A white longhorn bull skull is mounted on a dark weathered crossbar that doubles as a rifle-barrel-shaped score panel.

Two separate reel panels read '1 UP' and '2 UP', each showing five zeros.

Square backglass with a warm yellow-gold background and a pink/magenta crowd scene. A black rifle-barrel graphic runs across the upper left as the '1 UP' score reel panel, five reel windows all showing 0, with '1 UP' in white at its right end. A weathered brown cross-shaped bar spans the top centre, with a white longhorn bull skull with black-tipped horns mounted on the vertical post. Curved pale-green block letters with dark outline spell 'ROUND UP' across the middle, arcing over a semicircular vignette. Below the cross, in small cursive script, is 'Bally'. The right half is dominated by a tall cowgirl: silver-white hair, wide-brimmed pink hat, yellow-green dress with a black string belt, pink sleeves, one hand on her hip, the other holding a dark object aloft. Behind her stands a grinning cowboy in a pink jacket, red hat, yellow shirt and red patterned neckerchief. Left of centre, a smaller dancing couple in white and red performs before a seated crowd of men and women in cowboy hats holding glasses, plus a trumpeter in a yellow shirt. Two more reel windows with '2 UP' sit low left; a white electric guitar headstock with pink flowers appears bottom right.
