I'm the current owner of the model pictured in the first post. It's a great game.
I've since discovered that this is not an import. It does have some Japanese inside the machine, but it seems this was normal for many Sega/Gremlin games. Do a few Google searches for the Carnival flyer and you'll find one with the upright, the wide cocktail and the mini cocktail pictured on the backside.
If you went to the Northwest Pinball and Arcade show this year, then you may have seen it sitting next to the Joust Pinball! It got a lot of comments and a few people even made me offers on it.
