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!

Barcrest - Lotta Luck - UHD
By slotsmagic in Barcrest
Note - this might be a UHD / 4K release (it's 1600px wide by 2160px tall) - but note the source is my scan of the original flyer which is a little grainy, it'll not be as sharp as other 4K releases based on digital flyers, glass scans or high quality photos. I've done what I can with the source.
Also note - this layout was actually a sort of 24 hour challenge for myself. To the best of my knowledge it is complete and working correctly, if there are any issues I will correct them!!
Right, with that out of the way, here's my layout of Lotta Luck. @Chopaholicrequested a fix for an old layout, and I took it upon myself to quickly make a newer, updated layout which works in the latest emulator with hopefully better artwork.
Here's some layout notes taken from the layout - hope you enjoy it! Any issues do let me know

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

Bell Fruit Games - Crazy Money AWP UHD DX
By slotsmagic in Bell-Fruit
Here's my flyer-based DX of Crazy Money, a machine first released as a classic layout by @Reg, and released here :
I hope I've done it justice. The layout was designed at 2160p (4K UHD) and is 2160 pixels tall, so should fit a 4K panel in Full Screen Max mode without any scaling involved. As usual that's pretty much overkill when dealing with a tiny flyer, and does mean the file-size is a bit large (18MB!!), but it's easier to work at larger resolutions, and MFME will scale downwards for those at lower resolutions anyway
I have made two versions of the layout - the one called Crazy Money UHD DX is the standard layout, with the video screen implemented on the top glass of the machine as it should be, albeit resized to take up as much free space as possible to make it as playable as possible within the constraints of the artwork.
The other layout is simply a copy of it, with the video screen, 'shoot' button and 'rotation' lamps moved to the side, to give the video screen greater space.
So - for a more accurate game, use the UHD DX download. If you prefer a much bigger screen plonked to the side, choose the UHD HD SIDESCREEN layout
I'll attach the layout notes below, but firstly thanks to @Reg for the classic layout on which this layout is almost entirely based (just added in a few unused lamp numbers among other things), made it a much easier job having a top-notch classic to work from, with good controls for the crazy golf game built in. Also thanks to @vectra666 for suggestions based on a quick playtest for me, and supplying the original gold cabinet frame I have used here, as well as the correct fruit symbols on the reels for this era of game (should match the winplan graphics correctly).
Finally thanks to @Wizard, without whom we wouldn't be doing this, and the more I design in MFME, the more I realise just what a complete package it is.
I have made minor tweaks to the layout after I sent versions out for testing, so if any new issues have arisen in these new versions, let me know and I'll get them sorted

Bell Fruit Games - DOND Deal Wheel £70 UHD
By slotsmagic in Bell-Fruit
NOTE - Turns out I left the Extra Life and No Lose lamps the wrong way around on version 1.0.0
If you are one of the original 42 people who downloaded this layout before 12:00pm on Monday 10th January, you'll want to swap the 'extra life' and 'no-lose' lamp numbers around. If you download layout version 1.0.1 after that time, the fix is already applied. You'll know if you have the later version as the version number will be different in MFME's Config screen (it'll show 1.0.1 as version number).
Instructions here :
Here's a layout I've put together over the past week. I'll be honest and say it's not a game I particularly enjoy playing, although there were decent photos supplied by @infection and a lovely classic layout by @Reg so it seemed a shame not to do it. Many thanks to Reg for letting me use an unlocked classic layout of his as the basis for this - saved a bit of time working things out from scratch
I've been playing this on my gaming laptop (i7 11800H / GTX3070) @4K 3840x2160 and it's been nice and smooth. On the old Alienware Alpha which is a teeny little PC from about 10 years ago (i5 4570 and GTX860M) it does lag a little bit when the disc reel spins, but is still totally playable. That's at 1080p resolution so 1920x1080.
Hopefully it'll run smoothly for those that want to try it. It's not an amazing game - it's the same as Showtime which I used to own and sold it as it was boring as hell. Then again most DONDs are the same - not much value in the features like there used to be back in the £6>£25 era.
Notes should open when you open the layout for your keyboard shortcuts e.t.c. - if you find any issues let me know. If you find it boring as all hell to play, I would say to let Bell Fruit Games know, but I'm pretty sure they don't exist now

Bell Fruit Games - Hi Roller £500 Classic
By slotsmagic in Bell-Fruit
Here is a layout I have made for Hi Roller, a £500 jackpot poker style game by Bell Fruit Games.
I used to play this a fair bit, it's rather like Random Spinner and similar Section 16 (then updated to B3) games, in that it's got a 'wheel' feature. Unlike those slot machine games, where the wheel is triggered by 3 symbols on a winline, on this machine it is 'randomly' triggered by any losing hand of poker.
It is multi-stake, from 50p play up to £5 play, and the percentage payout also scales from 90% for the lowest stake, up to 98% for the highest stake.
Now, I did have the layout fully working but have somehow managed to stop the note acceptor from working, I will release an updated layout if I can manage to get it going again. I've tried all the obvious things I can think of but am totally stumped. Credit to anyone who finds out what I've done wrong!
Layout notes are quoted below.
Cheers

Bell Fruit Games - Hi Roller AWP
By slotsmagic in Bell-Fruit
Well, here's something else to keep you entertained for about 15 minutes of Lockdown 2, before you remember that the older machines were better and leave this gathering dust in your download folder. Wouldn't blame you at all for doing that
Anyway it's a modern-ish Bell Fruit Games 'Reel 2 Video' machine. As you'll have seen in the WIP thread I've had to bodge the feature entry trails, I honestly couldn't think of a way of getting them to work otherwise but would be open to revisit this layout if a better, working option is found.
Also, if any issues are found and things need correcting, please let me know and I'll upload a fixed version. Seems fine to me but I'm sure something will have slipped through the net!
Here's the attached notes from the layout :

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
