Generally on these MPU4 Empire games - switch 1-4 is percentage, switch 5 &6 changes the stake and switch 7 changes the jackpot amount.

The Spectrum version was the one I played, never had an Amiga. There were a few games I completed back in the day. Dynamite Dan was one I mastered because I had a special route where I would visit every room. Fall Guy was another where you had to jump the train and the boats etc.

Back in the day, I got to the 8th screen with the big chicken flying around plus the other chickens walking about. It got so hard at that point, I just couldn't get any further.

Really! Is that because of different program roms?

Yeah I assumed you had the sound roms for some reason! Never mind, I sent you them now and we know those other data roms work too.

Ah well you know a lot more than me about creating layouts. Was that the same error you got for the roms I sent you a few days ago?

Go in configuration and say yes to datapak. Those roms from loo are data roms.

Basically the 1st feature Lucky Touch was more generous on Super Breakout. Just the overall game play was more generous. Allowing for more breakouts and multi balls bonus etc.

The original was Super Breakout and it was actually the better game. Coliseum Cash ironed out some little flaws, if that's what you would call them.

This game is a cross between Chuckie Egg and Jumping Jack. Many years ago I got very good at those 2 games and progressed really far into them.

Ah Genie, that was hard earned cash! The Vegas one was Casino Crazy, which was one of the earlier releases.

That was about the best image I could find. There is a YouTube video of it but I don't know if it's any help.

They spin certain numbers when they are ready like JPMs. With these it's red numbers and 1 and 12. Also 2 and 11 should mean it's ready. There is a number runner feature on most of them (but not Darts Marathon) and if it's red then it should be Jackpot. Also there is like a Wild Thing feature on them where you just have to hit the wild anywhere in the window. I don't think there are many of these games about now. In fact I don't know of any.

That's the one! Where did you find it out of curiosity?

Yes definitely. The Electrocoins were my best money makers at that point of time.

Yeah, do you remember Lucky Leprechaun. I literally cannot find an image of that anywhere!

I didn't know Alice's Wonderland had a clone. Those Electrocoins could be Pluto 6 but Darts Marathon and Gold Streak are clones and they are Scorpion 5

I'm pretty sure these machines haven't been emulated yet. Maybe there was a reason why they couldn't be done? Not sure why that Alice game hasn't been emulated. The Electrocoins (Dead Mans Treasure and Stakes And Prizes) must be doable. Darts Marathon Electrocoin has been done but it just needs a DX layout. There is also a Lucky Leprechaun Electrocoin but I can't find any images for that. Barcrest Count Ya Cash needs a Dx layout. There are images so it must be doable. Deal Or No Deal Hall Of Fame needs a Dx layout and also the £70 jackpot needs to be emulated because it's a very different game from the £35 jackpot. Maybe the issue was lack of images.

I got caught on a filled up machine last week and had to visit the cash point in the arcade. It turns out the cash would machine would only dispense £30 at a time! Now I wanted at least £100 so this would have meant I got charged 3 or 4 times! So instead I legged it to another arcade which gave me the £100 I wanted.

Yep, that was a tactic back then to disable the crap machine so that the good machine next door would get all the casual play!

Here we have the recent Hot Shot £25 Dx by @woodsy. It plays nicely and is one of the classics in the fruit machine world.

Barcrest Dosh N Pecks.

This game is very similar to a racing game that was on the 50 game cassette by Cascade. He goes into quite some detail describing the game, I haven't actually looked at this YouTube channel before. At the start of the video, the music being played is also the music for a fruit machine when you get on the feature board. Anybody know which machine it comes from?

Here is some action from the latest layout by @woodsy I'm just forcing this for Mega Streak each time. No tricks or empties on this one, just knocking back all wins offered!

As far as I know you can only do them one at a time.
