Fingerprint: Colossal eight-pointed yellow-and-red starburst drop-target bank center, concentric white lamps and score numerals radiating outward, two grinning cartoon cowboys in wide-brimmed hats flanking lower field, second enormous pink and red starburst at top center, double-starburst geometry, desert plain setting.
A colossal yellow-and-red eight-pointed starburst drop-target bank in the middle of the bottom of the playfield, with concentric rings of white lamps and score numerals 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 printed radially around it and DOUBLE SPINNER / DOUBLE BONUS WHEN LIT in its middle. Two grinning cartoon cowboys in wide-brimmed hats flank the bottom of the playfield, one on each slingshot, both drawn in flat red, green and teal. A second enormous pink and red starburst medallion sits across the top centre behind the upper lanes, giving the field a very unusual double-starburst geometry.

A white longhorn bull skull is mounted on a dark weathered crossbar that doubles as a rifle-barrel-shaped score panel.

Two separate reel panels read '1 UP' and '2 UP', each showing five zeros.

Square backglass with a warm yellow-gold background and a pink/magenta crowd scene. A black rifle-barrel graphic runs across the upper left as the '1 UP' score reel panel, five reel windows all showing 0, with '1 UP' in white at its right end. A weathered brown cross-shaped bar spans the top centre, with a white longhorn bull skull with black-tipped horns mounted on the vertical post. Curved pale-green block letters with dark outline spell 'ROUND UP' across the middle, arcing over a semicircular vignette. Below the cross, in small cursive script, is 'Bally'. The right half is dominated by a tall cowgirl: silver-white hair, wide-brimmed pink hat, yellow-green dress with a black string belt, pink sleeves, one hand on her hip, the other holding a dark object aloft. Behind her stands a grinning cowboy in a pink jacket, red hat, yellow shirt and red patterned neckerchief. Left of centre, a smaller dancing couple in white and red performs before a seated crowd of men and women in cowboy hats holding glasses, plus a trumpeter in a yellow shirt. Two more reel windows with '2 UP' sit low left; a white electric guitar headstock with pink flowers appears bottom right.
