Fingerprint: VEGAS in gold slab-serif on cream-gold marquee flanked by blue palm fronds, blonde woman at green card table fanning hand of cards wearing white halter top with red bow and rose corsage, rows of pink feathered showgirls in near-darkness, three large red five-pointed stars stacked lower left
The centrepiece is a blonde showgirl sitting at a green card table fanning a hand of cards face-on to the viewer, wearing a white halter top with a red bow and a red rose corsage, while rows of identical pink feathered showgirls loom behind her in near-darkness. Three oversized glossy red five-pointed stars stacked on the left of the lower panel are unusually large and stand out. The huge gold VEGAS slab-serif lettering in a cream stepped marquee, flanked by blue palm fronds, sits at the very top. A green dot-matrix display reading SLOT KING with C63 below it, under a row of seven 7-shaped digit windows, is a strong secondary memory hook.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Woman | Single seated blonde showgirl at centre, platinum curled shoulder-length hair, red lipstick, white halter top with red bow at throat, red rose corsage on chest, bare arms on the table, fanning a hand of playing cards backs-out in her right hand, glancing sideways with a suspicious expression. |

A painted casino-lounge scene under a stage canopy. At top centre a cream-and-gold marquee with blue and red stepped trim carries VEGAS in large gold slab-serif capitals, flanked by dark blue palm fronds. Below, a blonde woman sits alone at a green felt card table, facing the viewer with a wary sideways glance. She has curled platinum hair, red lipstick, a white halter top with a red bow at the throat, and a red rose corsage. Her bare arms rest on the table as she fans a hand of playing cards, backs out, in her right hand. On the felt lie scattered white cards, red and blue chips, and red and blue block stacks. Behind her, rows of pink and magenta feathered showgirl silhouettes fill a dark stage under maroon drapery with gold swags. The lower third is a black panel: CATCH-UP in white, seven 7-shaped digit windows, green dot-matrix SLOT KING and C63, gold-script 1st 2nd 3rd 4th, three large red stars on the left, a gold oval logo and a white slogan along the bottom.
