Distinctive

Three enormous identical white-bearded kings pinwheeled around a central red oval, two of them rotated ninety degrees so their heads lie sideways along the left and right edges - a rotationally symmetrical playing-card court layout. The stacked cream-and-gold serif title ROYAL / FLUSH with DELUXE below, sitting inside a red medallion ringed by a green-and-red crown motif. Long gold sceptres with ball finials crossing the corners over a black field of radiating yellow spokes and scattered oversized card suits.

Full description

A backglass with a black background framed by a rounded bright-blue border, dominated by three large white-bearded king figures arranged in a pinwheel around a central red oval logo. The upright king at the top wears a gold crown with green jewels and a red band, has pale pink skin, a long curled white beard and moustache, blue eye, and holds a gold sceptre with a ball finial; he is shown in left-facing profile. Two further kings are rotated ninety degrees, one down the left edge and one down the right edge, each with grey curled beard, crown and sceptre, so the composition reads as a rotationally symmetrical card-court design. The centre carries cream-and-gold serif lettering on a red medallion: ROYAL over FLUSH, with DELUXE beneath, and a small yellow script Gottlieb above it. Radiating yellow and white diagonal spokes run out from the centre across the black field, interspersed with large red hearts, blue clubs and a yellow-and-blue diamond, plus a green-and-red pointed crown motif. Four green seven-segment score windows with dark bezels sit at the upper left, upper right, mid left and mid right. Near the bottom centre, white text reads BALLS IN PLAY above a small green numeric window showing 12 and 87, with MATRIX printed underneath. Style is flat, brightly saturated airbrushed-and-painted 1960s-70s cartoon artwork.
