Red ringed holes with letters C, A, R, V, A, N form a diamond down the centre. Purple mushroom bumpers sit around, big purple ones at the bottom, plus two big red and green discs on each side.

Full description

A worn, flaking backglass photographed at a steep angle against a grey background. A row of urn-shaped score emblems runs across the top, numbered 100 to 900, in white, red and yellow, with the word THOUSANDS in curved capitals above. The title is in large curly yellow letters with red shadow: Genco's CAMEL- CARAVAN. Below it, three triangular pyramids carry 1 MILLION (pink), 2 MILLION (red) and 3 MILLION (green). In front, a desert with palm trees and three riders on camels spell CA, M and EL on their saddle cloths. At the bottom, three women in Arabian-style costume lean in: one with blue hair and a red top, a blonde in a green beaded bikini top with a headband, and a red-haired woman in a jewelled headdress and yellow outfit, with a striped tent canopy at right. Much of the paint has flaked off, showing grey patches.
