A backlit backglass in a jagged, lightning-bolt-edged frame, dominated by a rearing brass-and-green mechanical winged beast at centre-left, ridden by a bare-armed woman warrior. The creature has a horned dragon head with open jaws, a segmented yellow-green plated body, brass metal limbs, clawed forelegs, and a large red membraned wing with yellow radial ribs. The rider wears a gold winged helmet, a gold breastplate and red briefs, sits astride gripping a black looped whip in her outstretched right hand, and has a stern profile face with a small goatee. Behind them a jungle scene: dark blue-black stormy sky, a great shadowy winged dragon silhouette upper left, a pale waterfall spilling over a stone temple arch, a huge ringed planet, a tiny ringed planet with sunburst, jungle palms, a sphinx-like stone head and a distant city skyline silhouette lower right. The title WALKYRIA sits upper right in tall spiky flame-shaped yellow-to-orange letters with red outline. Along the bottom, in sand-coloured rock, are red-segmented score reels, green instruction panels reading CREDITS, EXTRA BALL and LOTTERY & SKILL IN PLAY, red LED credit and extra-ball numbers, a large red LED score reading 239210 over dash placeholders, and player numbers 1-4 in small squares at the right.
