A laminated, wood-framed backglass in flat 1970s cartoon airbrush style, built around a huge diagonal word SINGLES spelled out in chunky block capitals that cascade from the upper left to the lower right in alternating colours: a fat yellow S with a black drop shadow, an orange-and-yellow striped A, a magenta N, a yellow L, a green-and-orange G, an orange L, a yellow S. The letters sit on a broad diagonal band of olive green and maroon blocks running across a background of tightly packed light-blue and white square tiles, each studded with small coloured diamonds. A jagged sawtooth yellow starburst border, edged orange, frames all four sides with a plain orange outer margin. Upper left holds a five-window mechanical score reel showing 1 8 7 3 0 in black digits on cream cards behind a chrome-silver rail. Lower left is a large head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman in profile facing right: pale skin, heavy black winged eyeliner, bright pink lipstick, a round orange cheek circle, tall magenta beehive hair piled high, a yellow ribbon at the temple, and a cigarette with a curling ribbon of smoke. Upper right shows three women on a big yellow sunburst: a brunette in a yellow top holding a racket, a blonde in an orange halter top and pink bikini bottom with arms flung wide, and a third woman in purple playing a yellow guitar. A pink-and-white ball rattles near her lips. Along the bottom, cream block capitals read BALLS · TO · PLAY on a yellow panel, and GAME OVER appears in orange on a yellow lozenge at lower right.
