Allowed me to reuse cabinet I spent ages chopping together for Special Reserve, so seemed a logical next project. Reels being lit by a neon tube were a bit tricky to get to work in conjunction with the Reel Roulette feature, but think it's passable. Massive thanks to; @pete_w for the classic. @steves fruitys for video reference. @Ginge for playtesting and spotting things that needed fixing in regards to lamps, effects and checkboxes. Controls in the notes.

This was something I was starting on way back at my first foray into layout creation. Never played the machine but remembered the artwork from being a kid back in the day. Needless to say, my attempt back then before people here spent the time to help me improve was pretty funny. @Tibbo decided to redo the artwork and assist, was originally going to be his first release as we were going to work together on it. Sadly he has not been active for over a year now and I know he really was looking forward to this as he wanted to get his .fml badge and give back to the community also. I'm hoping @pete_w can put the .fml badge to his profile so hopefully when he comes back it's a nice surprise or if not at least his goal has been realised. Massive thanks to; @Tibbo for his artwork and calloboration. @Clo06 for the classic. @johnparker007 and @spa for the images which lead to the far clearer image we have now. @Ginge for play testing and spotting and fixing various issues, this guy has a far greater eye than me. Also a big thankyou to whoever provided the ROM's for this, maybe @Mavroz? There is a slight issue with cancel collect, mainly its one lamp for both but images have separate buttons. Originally I Had same lamp in both, but have removed lamp from cancel to see if that looks better.

Controls are in the notes. Big thankyou to; @Ploggy @CompostCORNER for the original DX and classic and reels. @johnparker007 for doing some stuff with white balance to make base image more vivid. @fruitsnappa @WonkySausage for the £4 ROM's. @Ginge who found lamp numbers that I wouldn't have likely spotted and assisting with a reel issue. £3 version has totally different than £4, one MPS2, one MPS3 ?

Controls are in the notes. Special thanks goes to; @infection for the images. @Tommy c for the original DX, and button's from that layout. @Steveir for the classic and helping with lamp question's. @wearecity for assisting with lamp question's. @monkeyboypaul who is trying to get original sound ROM's dumped. @vectra666 who helped with an issue masking, turns out I missed a pixel. It's not super realistic, image was a bit washed out and missing detail so it's lamped in a way each letter and number has been done individually. This meant I also had to be pretty aggressive with brightness and colour in places, so it is rather cartoonish as opposed to uber real.

From 2003, seems like so long ago now, what days those were. Massive thanks to @Johnnyafc for the classic and reels. My first attempt at blending lamps in this one thanks to @vectra666 teaching me how with Ace Of Clubs release. Standard controls, only £1 input on this one as seems to be only option for MPU5, aside from £2, but that kept causing a STRIM error.
