Full description

A full playfield shown in a rendered room, with a backglass inset at top right. The playing surface is hot magenta-pink with turquoise and yellow borders and pale wood margins. Playing-card artwork runs throughout: two cream-coloured king figures in crowns and robes fill the lower slingshot panels, queen and king faces sit under the arch at the top, and fanned hands of cards (A K Q J in diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts) lie in the middle of the field. Tall yellow tapering lanes carry a large red diamond column on the left and a black spade column on the right, with a black club and red hearts lower down. A white round 1000 target sits at the top centre above a red-and-white circle, and a red bonus-value disc reading AND WOW WHEN LIT sits below it. A black square in the middle reads 10 X VALUE WHEN LIT. Two flippers at the bottom. The apron is white with a blue-and-red instruction card at left, a yellow note, and a red FLIPPER BUTTONS ON SIDE OF CABINET arrow.
