Astra's Fortune Teller £15 Jackpot
Fortune Teller by Astra, set on arcade settings with the option to gamble wins. If you want to set as bingo setting without gamble just go to edit mode with cash door checked, configuration and then alter. Have set this machine on 82%, about realistic for a lot of decent seaside arcades at least.
Massive credit to;
@captainhaddockfor the main image and allowing me to use his classic.
@vectra666for guiding me along the path ehen I have had questions.
@woodsyfor getting me started on the path of creation and providing Ps and the knowledge to use.
@Wizardfor this platform of joy and wonderment.
@infectionfor his wide array of images nicely compiled Infection Images section.
@dad@slotsmagic@Tommy c@spa@Clo06@Multi Retro Man and many others I have probably failed to mention for taking the time to impart knowledge and advice when needed.
Really a big Thankyou to everyone on the forum, to have a community so helpful and willing to assist people to achieve is absolutely amazing. If the world was like this forum we would be living in a Utopia. This isn't actually my first DX, I may release the first, second is kind of ongoing but not really great but will likely release at some point.
Quality will improve, only just getting used to Ps and laptop is a complete sack running old CPU, onboard graphics,very tempermental trackpad and a mighty 2GB of RAM!😂Goes to show its still possible though, and if computer illiterate like me can do this then anyone can, so hopefully this will inspire more to create.

Barcrest's Club Vegas £200.
3 of 3 Christmas release's.
Probably my nicest looking yet to be honest. Started messing about with it at the time of Road Hog. This machine does already exist but was made a fair while ago I think so I thought I would go ahead. The neon effect cash values etc are actually done by hand as I could not find the font. I know not everyone is a fan of clubbers, but this is actually a good game, plus anyone having a quiet Christmas, hopefully this helps keep you entertained. Lol, if you are chasing the cashpot it should keep you going for bloody ages, it moves up very slowly, almost thought it was broken.😂
Massive thanks to @vectra666 again for better reel symbols and also fixing coin sounds and giving me pointers during final tweaking.
Also credit to @stevephipps for the classic on which it was based.
And Merry Christmas to you all.🙂

Barcrest's Gold Strike £25.
There's a £15 variant by @Tommy c , but wanted a £25 version as well, so here it is. It's not my finest in my opinion, my 2 best so far will be released over Christmas.🙂
Couldn't find a name on the classic, but whoever you are thankyou.
And credit to @Tommy c for reels used.
All standard controls.
Also for the method check out Cheerful Pessimist's channel.👍

Barcrest's Weird Wolf.
Right, first things first. It's pretty janky. I could have spent more time and effort, but for the images available and that being the reason nobody wanted to embarrass themselve's with it, so I've taken one for the team.😂
Base image looked OK until lamping, so had to chop cash stack images from Vectra's Vamp It Up as using fonts it looked really out of whack. Symbols for the feature 'HOT' are actually stock images of jean rivets, FFS.😂 This whole thing is literally an exercise in me wanting the final piece of the Barcrest red and blue trail machines, regardless of how that was going to happen.
It's best on a laptop which hides some things better. Such as not masking the inner trails. I have other things waiting that are far more deserving of the effort really as this was never going to be perfect.
Added coin inputs 9=50p, 8=20p.
Massive thanks to:
@Mavroz for the classic and assisting with my questions and a really great conversation regarding MFME history etc. Top bloke.👍
@vectra666 for helping with advice and issues I had relating to lamps, and for the bits I pilfered from VIU.
@Amusements for a great resource for adding extra coin inputs.
@edwardb for really interesting thread on how anti stats code works and why on some machines a multiple coin input is a nessecity.
@infection for his archiving of images in Infections Images section. Always worth looking through just to find machines you may have forgotten about if nothing else.
Also thanks to the community on here that inspire doing this.
Anyone thinking of giving it a go should really consider it. If you choose something like this un DX'ed it kind of gives you a good chance to cut your teeth as at least it's something.

Barmy Army by Barcrest.
Have not released anything for a bit, this machine already exist's but here's my version anyway.
thanks to;
@Johnnyafc for the classic,
@Ross for the original DX which inspired me,
@vectra666 as usual for answering questions and giving me pointers when required,
@Wizard for the emulator.
Standard controls, slight annoyance with step to nearest mask, but try as I might its persisting, but is pretty OK aside from that.

Battleships & Cruisers £25.
By Ze Frog in Bell-Fruit
First proper attempt with the clone stamp tool courtesy of @slotsmagicwho went above and beyond in creating a video tutorial for me.
Massive credit to classic creator, was no name attatched but i'm pretty sure @Clo06could be the creator so thankyou. Also @vectra666 for assistance and supplying another classic which was instrumental in some of the lamp numbers that were'nt on the original classic and providing extra material for the layout.
Still working on my patience as I try to slow down and focus on quality, I tend to get to a point where I just race to finish, not ideal for this kind of thing really.😂
Controls are standard format with guide in notes for anyone who does'nt know. Payout at 82%, realistic percentage for fruit machines by the sea at least or on the big resorts backk in the day, although probably far different these days with the handful of machines they do have.

Big Ghoulies £5 DX
Firstly I need to say that original image I was using had a sticker over the 'great' part, so this is the wrong cabinet which I apologise for. Really tried to up my game a bit here, but where logo chopped in at the top and a few places it is not really up to standard, but I'm workibg on it. Main reason for releasing was so less in the know like myself can download with the hopper issue fixed straight off the bat, thanks to @andy-1for that.🙂
Also thanks to;
@vectra666wouldn't have happened withou Vectra fixing the issue with transparency.
@dad @Tommy c@logopolis as ever for guidance and invaluable input.
@Liverpool2008 for the original images.
@Tibbonow heres the insane thing, this guy joins up, and before even having enough rep to message or download in forums was tryingin his thread to pass on information to fix the Photoshop issue I was having. Thats right folks, a new mmember who was giving before taking a thing. Much respect.
Also a big thankyou to all forum members as usual, this forum makes you want to give something back, lol, even if you are probably wishing I wouldn't.😂
Set at 82%
All standard controls except cash hi=Q and low=A then nudge trail hi=P and low=L.

Crystal's Ace Of Clubs £250.
2 of 3 Christmas releases.
We only had a classic for this so thought it deserved a DX.
Massive thanks to @vectra666 for the extra reel resources to make the reels as they should be and nice and clear. Also for coin input sounds and blending cash lamps and teaching me how to do so in future, absolute legend.🙂
Also a massive thanks to @roadrunner for the classic.🙂

Massive thanks to @Clo06 for the classic.
Also @vectra666 for teaching me a better darkening method, although I can likely implement better in future.
Also thanks to the community here as that inspires me to keep improving.

Fast Trak by JPM.
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.
