Concept Jackpot 7s (7evens) - 50p / £100 1.1

About This File

Here's a layout for Concept Games Jackpot 7s, although a few people I know pronounce it 'seven-evens' - so I've gone with both names in the title.

This has been made with photos of my own machine, and a ROM dump I also took of my own machine - so it's definitely running known good software that plays exactly as I like. What is Jackpot 7s? Well to be honest it's basically another Concept 3 win game, but with unique artwork!

Does it play differently to the normal 3 win games I've released with Concept ROMs? Hard to say really. But it's got a good streak in it if caught right!

HAPPY RAM file is included in the folder called 'HAPPY_RAM'. Just copy the RAM and GAM from that folder over the ones in the folder with the .FML and .BIN files in.

When I say happy, I mean it's had £3600 in, which means the 2nd streak is due any second since these ROMs have a known session length of 3600 credits :)

 

As with other Casino ROMs, these will give 'ERR-01' on first boot. Either reset the layout (Ctrl+R) or reopen the layout to clear it.

I labelled the ROM dump file with the text that was written on the original Concept provided chip, and so my best guess is :

'JACKPOT7_v20_M_POP50_P100_SS_S_BR' = 

JACKPOT7, version 2.0, Plan M (standard 10/30/100 paytable)

POP50 (50p play), P100 (no idea?) SS  (soft session?) (standard rather than protocol?) BR (Blue Rinse a.k.a. Bingo)

 

Thanks :

Thanks to @Wizard for the emulator, thanks to everyone who plays and enjoys my layouts, and thanks to those who don't play and can't stand them!

Thanks to @Ginge for previous help, suggestions, and playtesting of previous Concept releases. Note I forgot to include the top-fluorescent lit gradient that @Gingeprovided in the ZIP files, so it's available as a little 42kb BMP file as part of this download if you prefer a more 'authentic' reel gradient!

Thanks to @Reg and everyone else here. Making layouts is something I actually do to unwind. A bit like I spent most of my youth in arcades trying to escape reality, now tinkering with these in MFME and Photoshop keeps me sane :)

Following on from the comment above from Multi Retro Man I think the X on reel 3 should be a Bar?

Nice work there, I'll look at updating my machine and see how it goes.

If it's okay, I'll simply upload the updated reel 3 for people to download and update their machine.

Here's the updated reel 3. You'll not believe this but when I updated the reel and put some money into the machine, straight away it spun 3 x X's and gave me £10 so I hope I've updated it correctly.

Cheers for the heads up - I did fix that before release but uploaded the wrong version!

I'll sort it out once back home, won't be long :)

 

(edit - 22/03/24 17:24) Version 1.1 uploaded. Genuinely a bit gutted about that, to be honest I'm very messy when I make layouts - multiple folders with multiple versions and then multiple versions within those folders. Zipped the wrong damn one up :)

One issue it does raise is that I had no idea of the comments regarding the issue until a moment ago when I went to download the layout on my MFME cab downstairs, and noticed the 8 comments. I didn't realise I didn't get any kind of notifications for those? Perhaps it's because I wasn't tagged? But I get plenty of notifications for the 'release area' forum thread, just not for the replies under the file in the download section :)

Many thanks to @Multi Retro Man and @BarXQueen for your efforts in solving it for people on the thread while I was oblivious to the issue :)

Reading that reminds me of when I first started doing the layouts and I was getting confused which was which. I was loading a version, thinking it was the one I was working on and then realised that it wasn't and I couldn't get my head round it at first but after a while, I used to make a backup copy of it after I'd been working on it for a while and have a directory called "Own Layouts" where I then have subdirectories of the machines I'm working on and within that, a folder called Completed.

One thing I did was to Zip them up and I'd forgotten about some of them because I had deleted the directory they were in and they didn't show up when I chose Load Game.

It's all a good learning curve and I'm glad I can do things to help whenever I can :)

One thing I realised is that sometimes when I upload a new machine, the "Follow this file" option isn't ticked, so I have to make sure I tick it to get notifications :D

I didn't realise that following a file was even a thing, but I've now turned it on :)

Yes I had versions of the layout called 'FINAL', but made some other alterations and ended up with FINAL1, FINAL2 e.t.c, same with the artwork, some of it in folders called 'FINAL' or 'RELEASE' but then with some subfolders within them.
 

It's no surprise my garage and indeed most of my life is cluttered and disorganised despite my best efforts and intentions :D

Ditto, apart from I've not got a garage, I've got a couple of sheds :)

Long live unorganised chaos :D
