Full description

A small photo of a wedge-shaped white backbox above the top of its playfield. The glass is bright yellow. The title JACKPOT runs across the upper left in ragged red capitals that slope upwards, under a single white score window showing a row of digits. In the centre a lanky old prospector with white hair and a long white beard leaps into the air, one arm flung up holding a blue hat, wearing an orange waistcoat, striped trousers and red boots. Below him lies a heap of red rocks with a pickaxe, and a yellow starburst flash at the lower right. Dark green fir trees stand at the lower left in front of pale blue and white snowy mountains and a blue lake. A purple fir branch hangs into the top left corner. Under the glass a white panel carries a row of green diamonds and arrowheads round a circle. The style is flat, bright cartoon art with black outlines.
