The single most memorable element is the enormous slanted red WINNER logo, tilted upwards to the right with a black outline and thick yellow drop shadow across a white band. Second is the racing motif below: two flat comic-book racehorses with red-clad jockeys galloping right across a yellow track, beside a red horseshoe-shaped BALL IN PLAY insert. Third, the crowd of black line-drawn spectator heads across the top with only two figures in full colour - a grinning man in a tan jacket and a laughing woman in a yellow dress and cloche hat, both arms thrown up. Fourth, the small black window of six white number reels at upper left.

Painted backglass in flat, black-outlined comic style, dominated by sky blue, red, yellow and black. Across the top a dense crowd of spectators appears only as black line heads and shoulders: men in fedoras, flat caps and glasses, plus a bobbed-haired woman, all cheering. Two full-colour figures break out - a grinning man in a tan jacket with a square badge, arms flung wide; and a laughing woman in a yellow dress and cloche hat, one arm raised. A black window holds six white number reels reading 0 4 1 4 0, plus a small white flag tile marked 1st. WINNER dominates the centre in huge slanted red block capitals, black outline and heavy yellow drop shadow, rising left to right; SEGA is in smaller red capitals at its lower left. Below is a flat yellow track with blue speed lines, a red horseshoe insert reading BALL IN PLAY, and two galloping horses in profile: a grey horse with a red cloth marked 5 and a chestnut with a blue-and-white cloth, each ridden by a red-and-white jockey. The black frame is heavily chipped.
