The giant white-and-red pie-segmented spinner disc in the middle of the playfield, with its blue arrow pointer, is the single most memorable element. Around it, an arc of yellow starburst inserts against pale blue with arched red lettering, and a bank of stacked red score reels framed by a round centre reel in the backbox. Two plain white instruction cards on orange-bordered panels flank the spinner.

A whole-machine view shot from above: the lower two-thirds is a pinball playfield seen under glass, the upper band is the backbox with four red mechanical score reels in two stacked pairs and a round centre reel, all reading zeros except one. The playfield is dominated by a huge white circular disc spinner near centre, ringed with alternating red, black and cream pie segments and printed with a black star, carrying a blue arrow pointer. Above it a pale blue arc band carries arched red lettering, and a row of round yellow starburst inserts stud the upper arc between red star decals. Four yellow bumper caps with red bases sit across the top. Curved polished metal ball guides sweep down both sides. Two rectangular white instruction cards with dense black print sit left and right lower-midfield, framed by orange borders. Dominant colours are red, yellow, blue and black on white.
