The Bally Game Show

A wide, brightly lit electro-mechanical style playfield seen under a glass top, dominated by carnival and television game-show imagery in hot pink, red, yellow, teal and cream. The layout is roughly symmetrical around a central vertical lane. Across the top edge runs a red strip of round incandescent bulb sockets; beneath it sit two oversized playing cards showing a black club and a yellow dollar sign, a cream placard reading $5 ADVANCE BONUS SLOT, and an oval sign reading SPIN IT AND WIN IT above a rotating bonus wheel of chrome and coloured plastic. Below that a fan of five illuminated arrow targets spreads upward from mid-field. The centre of the playfield is dominated by a large red-and-yellow segmented spinner wheel ringed with numbers, flanked by vertical arrow target banks. Two grinning cartoon showbiz host men are painted on the lower playfield, one at left with black hair and white collar leaning in from behind the wheel, one at lower right in a blue shirt and cap holding a microphone. A yellow open-wheel automobile is painted at mid-left beside green card targets. The lower deck carries yellow rubber flippers and a pink apron printed with a bulb-framed marquee logo, flanked by cream instruction cards.

A brightly coloured cartoon-style game-show backglass on a black background. An ornate yellow bulb-studded marquee arch fills the upper half, edged with red flame-like scrollwork and a border of yellow five-pointed stars, carrying the stacked title THE Bally GAME SHOW. Beneath it five cartoon show-business characters crowd together, grinning at the viewer: at centre a large bearded man in a red jacket holding a wired microphone, with an enormous toothy grin and green-tinted hair and beard; at left a blonde woman with a floating blue halo ring, holding a magnifying glass and fanning out green banknotes; far left a red-haired boy with dark glasses and a blue jacket; behind him a partly hidden figure at a rainbow Wheel of Fortune; at right a laughing man with a brown pompadour and a green streak in his hair holding a red ball; far right a plump chef in a white toque and round red-rimmed glasses carrying a tray of food. Yellow nameplates sit under the cast, a long white score panel runs across the bottom, and a wide red strip below carries repeated jackpot lettering. Curtain drapes frame both edges, with a bundle of coloured pencils at left and a yellow circular prize badge at right. Dominant colours: red, yellow, black and green.
