Full description

Bright, flat cartoon-style backglass set in a varnished woodgrain cabinet frame, with an ocean-blue background filled with white sea-foam swirl and dot patterns. Across the top, a fan of multicoloured signal flags (red, white, blue, yellow, green triangular pennants) radiates outward from a central blue-and-white disc at the top centre. The main title is curved red block letters with a white and dark-blue drop shadow reading SEA JOCKEYS. Below it, a large cream-yellow horizontal ellipse carries the numerals 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 in red-outlined coloured digits, and the name MILT LONE in red capitals, partly obscured by the score window. Left and right of the ellipse are pairs of yellow jockey silks/horseshoes in blue, red, green and orange. A black rectangular score window sits centrally low, showing reels reading 1 2 3 4 5 6 with the white caption ALL JOCKEY, ADDED FEATURE beneath. The lower backbox panel is a cream card headed SELECTIONS in red on a green bar, containing a grid of small coloured numbered boxes (1 to 9) with two of them marked 12, with FIRST PLACE and WINNER PLACE labels and stacked triangular signal flags at either side. Strong glare reflects off the glass.
