A yellow-framed electro-mechanical backglass photographed at an angle. Across the top hang three bells, yellow, salmon and green, over blue and yellow diamond shapes. Four white reel score windows (numbered 1 to 4 in corner boxes) show 032.330 and zeros. The title is in big salmon-and-black striped hand-drawn letters. Below is a casino-arcade scene: a blonde woman in a short orange dress with arms flung up, one foot kicked back, stands before a roulette wheel strip; a man cups his chin at a lectern with a four-box players panel; dancers and onlookers stand on a blue tiled floor among rows of pinball machines; a long row of giant playing cards leads right to a man fishing from a yellow tent over money bags. A green panel reads BALL IN PLAY. Blue, yellow, green and salmon, flat cartoon style.

Fingerprint: 'DUCK GAME' title flanked by two large gold inward-pointing arrows, two rows of small white square tiles with black symbols above and below title, lower half hunting scene with man aiming long gun among trees, wooden crates and barrel left, orange-brown animal and green grass right, tiny cartoon figures on green hillside top, bright blue sky, mid-century cartoon painted style.
The most memorable feature is the hunting scene in the lower half: a man in a cap sighting along a long gun in a dense tangle of trees, with a row of stacked wooden crates and a barrel to his left. Second, the striking gold arrow motifs that point inward at the title from both sides of the blue sky. Third, the two neat rows of small white square tiles printed with black symbols that bracket the title. Fourth, the tiny group of cartoon spectators standing on the green hill along the top edge.

A painted, cartoon-style pinball backglass built around a hunting theme. The upper half is a bright sky-blue field crossed by two large gold/yellow arrow shapes pointing inwards, and the title sits between them: heavy condensed block capitals reading DUCK, a small dark square badge with tiny unreadable white lettering, then GAME, in white-and-cream letters with red outlines and black drop shadows. Flanking the title on both left and right are two horizontal rows of small white square tiles, each tile printed with a black symbol or letter-like mark. Along the very top edge, on a green hillside, stand four or five tiny cartoon human figures in coloured shirts and trousers. The lower half is a woodland hunting scene: a man in a cap and blue clothing aiming a long gun among trees and bushes, wooden crates and a barrel at the lower left, jagged red-brown rocks and cut stumps across the bottom centre, and an orange-brown animal standing in green grass at the lower right.
