Not entirely happy with this, looked better in Photoshop images somehow, but maybe I'll revisit it at some point. Special thanks to @infection for the images and @Johnnyafc who did the classic.

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.

Massive thankyou to; @vectra666 for his assistance in helping to solve a few issues with lamps and excellent tutorage as usual. @dad @WonkySausage @Tommy c @spa @serene02 @MPU_FIVE for contributing to questions regarding various parts of this machine that needed working out for a DX. Also @Wizard who without we would never have the joy we have here. Controls are standard fare. It's not 100% perfect, couple of lamps may be a bit off, also exchange points, no idea of how they light on original so omitted these as it's easy enough to use the alpha and didn't want to add in any more artificial bits than needed.

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.

This was something I was doing alongside something else I'd just started when Big Ghoulies caused me grief. Was literally just a test to see if I had sorted transparency in Photoshop. Massive thanks to @Clo06 for the classic used as a base. @Wizardfor the emulator and everybody has has helped me along the path to creation. This kind of thing I would never have imagined doing, computer based stuff really is'nt my strong point, but its gettting addictive. Controls are standard fare as per, was'nt quite sure what the deal with percentage setting on this was as no option to change. but seems to be around 80% after running a chunk of money through it.

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.

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.
