Concept Jackpot 7s (7evens) - 50p / £100
By slotsmagic in Concept
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?) S (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

Concept Poundstretcher - £5, £35, £50, £70 and £100 jackpot 4K DX layouts (variety of stakes)
By slotsmagic in Concept
Here's 5 layouts for Poundstretcher - one of Concept's unique games. It's kinda like Bar X but with XXX being replaced by '£££' and paying random amounts based on the cash amounts around the top glass. I say 'random', but the game is compensated and the amounts are almost certainly pre-determined. I think earlier ROMs possibly did have more of a 'random' element. In fact the non-session ROMs included should have the 'run' (main streak) trigger 'at random'. Don't hold me to that though!
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.
£5 jackpot at 10p/20p play.
£35 jackpot at 30p play.
£50 jackpot at 30p/50p/£1 play.
£70 jackpot at 30p/50p/£1 play.
£100 jackpot at 50p/£1 play.
The ROMs and GAM files are named according to the ROM types as I catalogued them. To help deciper them :
'PS_CASINO_50P_70_NON_SESSION_FLAT_88'
=
PoundStretcher CASINO cabinet 50P play 70 pound jackpot NON SESSION (random streak trigger), FLAT game profile and 88% payout.

Concept (Electrocoin) RED BAR - £5, £8, £10, £15 (MAB), £25, £35, £50, £70 and £100 4K HDX
By slotsmagic in Concept
Here's 9 layouts for Super RED BAR, and I've lost count of the amount of GAM files and ROMs, along with my sanity!
I've classed these as Hybrid DX, due to them being a mash-up of online art and my own decals and things.
Too many versions to list. But the paytables are in the layout filenames (so for example RB_WOOD_1_2_4_8) would be £8 jackpot with a £1, £2, £4 and £8 paytable, running the WOOD ROMs (see 'important notes' below).
Concept ROMs are fixed percentages and with this layout (and from now on) I'm listing the percentages in both the ROM name and GAM name.
MAB £15 layout has variable percentages, instructions on how to change are included in a text file with that layout - percentages.txt
Important notes :
1) The WOOD ROMs are for flat-top cabinets. These have full lamping of logo and paytable. Random lamps may flicker each spin.
2) The CASINO ROMs are for dome-top cabinets. The logo and paytables are permanently lit, as they would be on the real machine.
3) I believe these all to be fully working as released - but I'll be honest, I got a bit overwhelmed with it. There is having a nice variety, and then there is complete overkill which this is. As I've said before though, these were only really intended to be for my personal use, to fill my MFME cabinet up with lots of lo-tech stuff. Any issues at all don't hesitate to send me a personal message, reply to the release thread, or send a carrier pigeon. I would endeavour to fix any mistakes.

Thanks to the anonymous ROM providers (you know who you are!), and also @loo and @vectra666 for the MAB ROMs from the Super Red BAR layout.
Thanks to @Reg and everyone else here. As much as making this layout nearly tipped me over the edge, emulation and by extension this community does give me an escape which is far healthier than spending real money in arcades .

Barcrest - Monty Python's Flying Circus - UHD
By slotsmagic in Barcrest
Here it is, I'm pretty happy with how it's come out. If anything is obviously wrong, let me know - I will update it if required!
Only doing a £15 version at the moment, I will consider the £5 version later.
NOTE - I designed this on my two gaming PCs, this is a UHD layout and does feature a fair few blended lamps so will potentially not run well on lower specced / older machines. I do apologise if that is the case!
Thanks to @Reg for graphical advice and hints, and @Boulderdash for playtesting - do note that I have done some work on this after testing and may have introduced new errors, so again, if you find issues, let me know

Concept (Scorpion 2) Super MultiNudge - 20p / £5, 25p / £8 and 30p / £10 4K HDX
By slotsmagic in Concept
Here's a trio layouts for Super MultiNudge by Concept, which oddly runs on Scorpion 2 hardware (as does the later dome-top Casino with the cream artwork!)
I've classed it as a Hybrid DX, due to it not being original artwork - it is using a mix of modified Big 7 (online) artwork, and some bits I've made myself.
There's layouts for :
£5 jackpot at 20p play.
£8 jackpot at 25p play.
£10 jackpot at 30p play, and all the above are set at 90% which is a decent, but not overly nice percentage.
I have however included a text file (switches.txt) showing the DIP switch settings to change stake and percentage - the only issue being that these layouts only support 20p, 25p or 30p. If you change them down to 2p, 5p or 10p play the machine will lock up when you collect the bank due to the second tube / hopper not being supported. I have not implemented it for a couple of reasons - lack of skill, but also my emulation cabinets currently only have £1 payout so not having 10p / 20p payout is fine for me.
These layouts all use the same single ROM file. I've loads of other Super MultiNudge ROMs which look like they should work, but none of them do, so I'm using the original version supplied with @Ploggy's original 2009 DX release. I'll also thank Ploggy here for kindly allowing me to use the technical information from his layout - so all the reel positions, lamp numbers, checkboxes and other bits have come straight from his layout. Which is a lovely little layout and shows off the original artwork. I just fancied making something snazzy for my home cabinets using the artwork I had here!
I've also included the more yellowed, top lit gradient from @Ginge that was provided with my original Big 7 layouts, in case people prefer the look of a fluorescent lit reel gradient, which is more accurate than my standard sunken reel gradient (which I personally like as it hides the jagged edges of reel windows!). The choice is yours
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

Concept Bullion Run - £5, £50, £70 and £100 jackpot 4K DX layouts (variety of stakes and paytables)
By slotsmagic in Concept
Here's a few layouts for Bullion Run by Concept, and way too many ROM variants as usual. I feel like it might be Random Gold without the 'Random'?
I received some artwork from an anonymous member on here (you know who you are, cheers!) and since I quite like this one in real life, it would be a shame not to do a few layouts. There's quite a few ROMs and GAM files included, and the layouts will give ERROR 1 on first opening - to clear that, either use Ctrl+R on your keyboard, or just open and close the layout.
There's layouts for :
£5 jackpot (£1/£2/£4/£5 paytable) at 20p play.
£50 jackpot (£5/£10/£20/£50 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
£70 jackpot (£5/£10/£20/£70 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
£70 jackpot (£10/£20/£40/£70 paytable) at 50p or £1 play.
and finally £100 jackpot (£10/£20/£40/£100 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
Bit of a weird mix, but those are the ROMs I have. Hopefully something suitable for most people!
To pick the price of play, and game type you want, load the relevant GAM file. The GAM files are labelled as the following example :
BR_30P_5_10_20_70_SS (where 30P is the stake, 5_10_20_70 is the paytable, and SS is the game type, where FS = FLAT SESSION, SS = SOFT SESSION, FNS = FLAT NON SESSION and SNS = SOFT NON SESSION). From memory my preferred game type is normally SOFT SESSION, giving a mix of wins and mini-runs in the base, and normally being bang-on target percentage by the end of the run.
In theory, SESSION based ROMs will give a run after a fixed amount of credits. To give you an idea, on a SESSION ROM, a 50p £100 jackpot game will go on a run after 3600 credits (£1800 of credits) - this is where the main streak is paid. I honestly don't even know if the SESSION ROMs qualify as 'random'. Perhaps they do randomly allocated wins or mini-runs between the proper runs?
The NON SESSION ROMs do not have a streak that comes around after a fixed amount of credits. This means that - while they should still pay out the same over the long term - they may do periods with huge gaps between runs, and can in theory do back to back runs for some huge streaks. They often seem to play too well from a reset, so be prepared for that!
As always many thanks to the ROM provider(s), the artwork provider, and all the members here at DIF. Thanks to @Wizard for the incredible emulator, and thanks to anyone who plays and enjoys the stuff I release. Any issues don't hesitate to chuck me a PM, or reply to the release thread

Concept Random Reel Magic - £5, £35, £50, £70 and £100 jackpot 4K DX layouts (variety of stakes and paytables)
By slotsmagic in Concept
Here's a few layouts for Random Reel Magic by Concept. I quite like this one, although to be honest it's a pretty simple 3 win game
I received some artwork from an anonymous member on here (you know who you are, cheers!) and since I quite like this one in real life, it would be a shame not to do a few layouts. There's quite a few ROMs and GAM files included, and the layouts will give ERROR 1 on first opening - to clear that, either use Ctrl+R on your keyboard, or just open and close the layout. Apologies for the £35 and £100 top jackpot artwork not being quite accurate - I had to make them from scratch!
There's layouts for :
£5 jackpot (£1/£2/£5 paytable) at 10p (NON SESSION) or 20p (SESSION) play.
£35 jackpot (£5/£10/£35 paytable) at 30p play.
£50 jackpot (£10/£30/£50 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
£70 jackpot (£5/£10/£70 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
£70 jackpot (£10/£30/£70 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
and finally £100 jackpot (£10/£30/£100 paytable) at 50p play.
To pick the price of play, and game type you want, load the relevant GAM file. The GAM files are labelled as the following example :

Concept (Electrocoin) Bar X 7even - £5 @10/20p, £25 @25p/30p, £35 @30p/50p, £70 @50p, £100 @30p/50p/£1 4K HDX
By slotsmagic in Concept
Here's the latest in my lineup of Electrocoin based machines running Concept ROMs. I actually started these about a year ago - forgot about them between March 2023 and now - and just finished them off. They are my hybrid / modified Bar X 7even Online artwork, running a large combination of ROMs for different stake and prize combinations, as well as different game play types (flat or soft, session or non-session). Basically it's as close to a complete set of Concept Games 3-win layouts, albeit older ROMs than they currently publish. Should be plenty of choice for everyone. I know Concept are not everyone's cup of tea, and these will play a pretty boring game until the run comes around - but it's the best we have at the moment!
There's layouts for :
£5 jackpot (£1/£2/£5 paytable) at 10p or 20p play.
£25 jackpot (£10/£15/£25 paytable) at 25p or 30p play.
£35 jackpot (£5/£10/£35 paytable) at 30p or 50p play.
£70 jackpot (£10/£30/£70 paytable) at 50p play.
and finally £100 jackpot (£10/£30/£100 paytable) at 30p, 50p or £1 play.
To pick the price of play, and game type you want, load the relevant GAM file. The GAM files are labelled as follows :
BX7_50P_10_30_100_SS (where 50p is the stake, 10_30_100 is the paytable, and SS is the game type, where FS = FLAT SESSION, SS = SOFT SESSION, FNS = FLAT NON SESSION and SNS = SOFT NON SESSION). From memory my preferred game type is normally SOFT SESSION, giving a mix of wins and mini-runs in the base, and normally being bang-on target percentage by the end of the run.
In theory, SESSION based ROMs will give a run after a fixed amount of credits. To give you an idea, on a SESSION ROM, a 50p £100 jackpot game will go on a run after 3600 credits (£1800 of credits) - this is where the main streak is paid.
The NON SESSION ROMs do not have a streak that comes around after a fixed amount of credits. This means that - while they should still pay out the same over the long term - they may do periods with huge gaps between runs, and can in theory do back to back runs for some huge streaks.
These ROMs are released from a RAM RESET. Therefore each game will probably give ERR 01, flash the lights and beep at you when you first load them. To clear the error just reload the layout, or if on a PC, you could just hold CTRL + R and it'll reboot. Once that's been done the machine should work fine from then on.
As always many thanks to the ROM providers, the places I lovingly borrowed the artwork from, and all the members here at DIF. Thanks to @Wizard for the incredible emulator, and thanks to anyone who plays and enjoys the stuff I release

Adders 'N' Ladders by Empire Games - £5 & £35 Classics
By slotsmagic in Empire
Here's a couple of layouts I've put together for Adders 'N' Ladder by Empire Games. It's a pretty simple game and hopefully simple enough to play
Thanks to @infection for the £35 board photo, and user Chris217 on YouTube for his video of the £5 versions being played. Thanks to @andy-1as well who provided me with the ROMs running in a blank MFME layout, and also obvious thanks are obvious when it comes to @Wizard. I know these layouts don't really do justice to your emulator but hopefully they'll put a smile on someone's face, until something better comes along (or I get my arse in gear!).
Beginning to wish I'd done a traditional classic layout as there's so many reflections and issues on the board parts that the £35 for example could pretty much do with being redrawn. That might be a project for another day, but for now please enjoy these cosmetically challenged versions.
Any errors please let me know!
[quote]Empire Games 'Adders 'N' Ladders' - on Barcrest MPU5.
Set on £5 Jackpot, 20p Play and 86% Payout.
Layout designed by SlotsMagic using MFME v20.1
** Keyboard Shortcuts **
Insert £1 = 0
Start = Spacebar
Hold 1 = 1
Hold 2 = 2
Hold 3 = 3
Cancel / Collect = '
Exchange = E
Auto Nudge = A
** Notes **
This layout was put together to give something hopefully playable, and I'm sure better version(s) will appear in the future
It is based on the more basic of the Adders 'N' Ladders machines, which doesn't have the feature symbols located above the reels. It should play absolutely fine.
** Thanks To **
Chris Wren a.k.a. Wizard (1965-2020) for MFME itself!
'Chris217' for the video on YouTube which I screengrabbed the board game from!
andy-1 for the ROMs running and base layout!

Red Gaming - Break The Bank £15 DX
By slotsmagic in Red Gaming
This layout hasn't come out quite as intended, but I've made the decision to release it as-is. It's fully working (to the best of my knowledge!) with the exception of disc reel lamps - so what I have done is left the disc in a 'permanently lit' state. I have got an unlocked layout here so am able to update and make changes should I work out what is going on and will obviously fix an issues that are reported
It does have blended lamps and a disc, so despite being a lower resolution than I'd normally work at (due to the artwork being pretty awful on the flyer), it could still chug on lower end machines and low powered laptops.
Anyway, with all that said, thanks and I hope you enjoy this layout. I'd suggest cranking the volume up - the music is bloody awesome in my opinion!!
Notes should load on opening the layout, but if not :
