Riverboat Gambler Dx £4/10p+£8/20p+£8TK/20p+£10/25p+£15/30p

By Ginge

Been working on this for a few weeks now and the images I had weren`t the best but has turned out better than I thought IMO. It`s not exact to the machine but very close as I have used win plan decals from the Stampede layouts because I was struggling to make the exact ones.
There`s a total of 5 versions £4/10p/84% £8/20p/86% £8TK/20p/86% £10/25p/88% £15/30p/90%.
Thanks to @hitthesix for reels and his classic for help with lamping.
Thanks to @infection for posting the flyer on my wip thread which helped a lot.
Thanks to @vectra666 for use of his stampede win plan decals.
Thanks as always to @Wizard for MFME and this great hobby.
Enjoy and watch out for that Lucky Lady.

Astra Games WOW Hybrid Party Time £25 30p 3 Player MFME v19.8

Hi all!
Pleased to announce my latest release - new run of Astra WOW 'Hybrid' cabs - which are Pluto 6 Based cabs - running on Legacy io3 roms.
Party Time WOW 3 Player - 30p £25 86% payout - using Arena io3 roms, lamps are done sympathetically as per WOW Builds - and this should make it easier to run this layout on a lower spec PC or Laptop as there is hardly any lamping used.
This has been beta tested - this is v0.03 after a few tweaks made. I hope you all enjoy it as I have done in making this.
Usual shortcuts apply - A for Auto Start.
Please use v19.8 MFME for this to play and run correctly. - DEDICATED TO WIZARD 🙂
Enjoy all! Next layout to follow - BULLION BARS WOW £25.
Luke - AKA AstraLuke / YT: astrafruitmachinecollector

Astra Games Bullion Bars CLASSIC Rebuild 10p £5jp

Hey Everyone,
Been working very hard behind the scenes, and I am proud to release the Astra Games Bullion Bars Classic Rebuild layout
10p Play £5 JP - 40p stars version - never released before on MFME.
The slave cabinets are my own built from scratch, my own reel bands used top box and slaves, and completely remastered the top box and used original decals as per the factory original, even managed to perfect the blue lamps behind the Astra Logo on each player!
Thank you to rom provider ( you know who you are ), and to Dan & Andy for being my beta testers.
Shortcuts usual, but 9 = 10p coins in.
**As always dedicated to Wizard**
Hope you all enjoy this much highly anticipated layout. I will hope to reuse these cabinets for the £25/£35 and hard £5 version in due course, if demand is there of course.
Peace - AstraLuke 🙂

Astra's Fortune Teller £15 Jackpot

By Ze Frog

Fortune Teller by Astra, set on arcade settings with the option to gamble wins. If you want to set as bingo setting without gamble just go to edit mode with cash door checked, configuration and then alter. Have set this machine on 82%, about realistic for a lot of decent seaside arcades at least.
Massive credit to;
@captainhaddockfor the main image and allowing me to use his classic.
@vectra666for guiding me along the path ehen I have had questions.
@woodsyfor getting me started on the path of creation and providing Ps and the knowledge to use.
@Wizardfor this platform of joy and wonderment.
@infectionfor his wide array of images nicely compiled Infection Images section.
@dad@slotsmagic@Tommy c@spa@Clo06@Multi Retro Man and many others I have probably failed to mention for taking the time to impart knowledge and advice when needed.
Really a big Thankyou to everyone on the forum, to have a community so helpful and willing to assist people to achieve is absolutely amazing. If the world was like this forum we would be living in a Utopia. This isn't actually my first DX, I may release the first, second is kind of ongoing but not really great but will likely release at some point.
Quality will improve, only just getting used to Ps and laptop is a complete sack running old CPU, onboard graphics,very tempermental trackpad and a mighty 2GB of RAM!😂Goes to show its still possible though, and if computer illiterate like me can do this then anyone can, so hopefully this will inspire more to create.

Astra Bullion Bars £25 Arena 3 Player Updated Jan 2024

Hello All,
Starting off 2024 with a layout I have revised following feedback from members online, this update includes;
Players reduced from 4 to 3, as requested to help those with low spec PC/Laptops
Brand New Cabinets for the three 'slaves', new lamping, and buttons original to cab (unlike PTA I used in 2022)
New Layout Cabinets using split photos to create a photogenic cab for MFME users, they also include Note Acceptors and transfer to credit buttons, shortcut for note is 8 (£20), and transfer is T.
No changes to top box. To load select master top box file, if any green borders on show use Function and F1 to clear.
Hope you all enjoy the refreshed layout! There is some brand new ASTRA layouts in the making so stay tuned.. and more revised ones as have better photos and resources to refresh some layouts back from MFME 5/6!!

Astra Games Bullion Bars Arena £25 30p 4 Player 2022

Hi all!
Pleased to announce my latest release;
Astra Bullion Bars Arena 4 Player - 30p £25 82% payout - using BB Deluxe io3 roms, lamps are done sympathetically as per Arena Builds - as Arena roms are not in public domain.
This is the 2022 layout I have made, I did create a BB Arena a while ago, which was sadly leaked online - it was not released by me as I was not happy with the original quality, so its taken me a long while to redo the entire build, whilst not perfect (uses PTArena buttons lol) I hope it is still enjoyable.
Usual shortcuts apply - A for Auto Start. 0 - £1 coin in.
No Note acceptors added/enabled to keep layout simple.
Please use v19.8 MFME for this to play and run correctly. - DEDICATED TO WIZARD
Enjoy all!
P.S. for those who are new, open the Master Top file in MFME v19.8 for all the players to open together.
Next re-visit will be Party Time Bingo £5 and £25, or Party Time Arena on £5/£8/£10/£15/£25 JPS which aside from £25 have not been released in the other JP formats - and using the earlier rom format 😜 watch this space!

By Reg

Party Time Bingo for your pleasure.

If you download this and plan to use this as a base for a release yourself ( IE - take lamp details etc ) then all I ask is you allow the work that has gone into this to at least be downloaded in the community and not release anything based on any information found within this work for a week or so.
Thank you.

Colour of Money Casino 30p/£15 - Astra

By No1Stoney

Here is Colour of Money Casino by Astra. Set on 30p/£15/90% .
I saw this machine switched off in the corner of an arcade so took some discreet snaps to see if I could make a DX of it.
So from the photos I quickly managed to grab, I've done the best I can to create a DX. It was on £5 play so I've had to redraw some £15 decals as I didn't think £5 would be very entertaining to play!
Hope you enjoy playing it.
Any problems let me know
Cheers!

King Cash £15 Dx

A quicky from me, whilst searching the internet for random shite, i found a image for this so made up a dx, it's not the best due to the image used which i'll post in the main thread of this but as its a Lo-tech i think i got away with it!! Also unlocked if better images arise for a revamp.
Thanks goto
@hitthesix for his classic which saved me time searching for lamps etc
and to google lol
not sure if the reels are supposed to be lit but like the classic they ain't in here.

Astra Party Time £8 20p Original 3 Player 2024 Updated Release

Hello All,
Starting off 2024 with my second layout of the year I have been asked by players of MFME for a DX £8 Party Time - so here it is in my own updated cabinets
Top Box downsized and enhanced lamping, and included the 'rough' Confetti lamping which Astra missed out when released in 1998 post production, so included it for a unique effect.
Slaves resized to match my other upright Astra Multiplayers in sizing, all have new clearer buttons for MFME members, better quality belly glass artwork which is more vivid. Reels used Diamond Jackpots symbols as have the glasses, as kept it clearer and simple for high Jackpot releases to come*
Set to 20p £8 JP - 86%.
To load select master top box file, if any green borders on show use Function and F1 to clear.
Hope you all enjoy the refreshed layout! There is some brand new ASTRA layouts in the making so stay tuned.. and more revised ones as have better photos and resources to refresh some layouts back from MFME 5/6!!
With thanks to bullionbars2011 for beta testing for me too!
*£15 and £25 releases to follow in coming days if demand warrants it 😜

Triple Bell £8 Dx

Roll Up!!! Roll Up!!!!
Try your luck on this game, hook a duck or fill yer boots with tokens. Hit the Hammer to reach the top Bell for the Jackpot.
Slight lamping issue, i've tried for a age to get the top bell lamps correct including the lightining strikes on either side, i still don't think thy'er correct so if someone who knows can workout the correct order please Pm me so i can correct the layout 100% accurate. but this doesn't affect the gameplay far from it, this game loves to give its £8 token jackpot and was a joy to make apart from the lamp issue and the continuous "london bridge is falling down" on the nudge jingle lol
Shortcuts are as standard (triple bell is shortcut = T)
plays in mfme v19'8+

Enjoy the sounds of the funfair all over again and Happy Gaming!!!

Double Jackpot PDX

By Multi Retro Man

What can I say. I didn't realise that Wizard had passed away when I made this and I guess he must have inspired me somehow to do something totally different but not too different, if that makes sense.
Here's my PDX of Astra's Double Jackpot but based in a 'One Armed Bandit' as they've always been known.
Many, many thanks and apologies to @hitthesix for the original Classic layout and for kindly letting me leave this on as I was and still am in shock of Wizards sad departure from this world.
I dedicate this to Wizard and I'm sure that MFME will live on forever!!!
