A Maygay Machine, on Epoch Tech

Hog Money by Impulse Gaming
An Epoch machine with a £15 Jackpot at 25p play, with an 82% payout.
THIS LAYOUT IS CURRENTLY MUTE. There is a member on here, who has/had this machine, but I can't find the thread, if that member sees this and can help with some great pictures and sound roms, that would be excellent.
UPDATE NOW WITH SOUNDS thanks to user @fat.tony
Anyway. it's very much like Trailblazer.
Few differences, the key features are listed, the bonus are displayed on the alpha.
No bonus numbers on the grid, but if while playing on the grid, you collect numbers as you gamble and if you collect a blue and orange number, you get a bonus.
KEYS:
Insert Coin = 0, Cancel/Collect = `, Hold 1-3 = 1-3,
Sizzle or Fizzle = F, Exchange = E, Start = Space. Cashpot = P
LEFT HI = Q, LEFT LO = A RIGHT HI = W, LEFT LO = S
THANKS AS EVER TO THE LATE WIZARD RIP for the wonderful MFME emulator.
Thanks to Tommy C for the reels from Trailblazer.
Thanks to MR P's and Infection for the images to go by.
Thanks to the rom provider.
Thanks to Impulse and whoever owns them now, for leaving FME alone

My final release of the year from me
A Maygay Machines, fruity, on Epoch Tech
£25 Jackpot, 30p Play, 82% Payout
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE
I've had a go at laying it out as per the real machine, thanks to the pics to go by, but I'm not the greatest artist lol.
Whilst there is nothing that breaks it, you can tell when it's expecting sounds sometimes and just says, ok no sound, but I'll carry on anyway.
One of the better Maygay Epoch machines IMO and they've even managed to do a decent attract mode and have some custom graphics on the alpha display. Also I learnt here, that if you don't resize the alpha to a smaller version, than the standard default sized one, some things, won't display correctly. 
Keys:
0=Insert £1, H = Shoot, L=Move left, R= Move Right, U=Move Up, D=Move Down
' = Cancel, 1 = Hold 1, 2 = Hold 2/Hi 3= Hold 3/Lo, C = Collect, S = Submarine, SPACE=Start/Gamble

Happy Christmas to everyone, let's hope the New Year, continues Wizards legacy and FME has a great year.
Not too exciting I'm afraid.

TAKE NUDGES = N, TAKE CASH = C, TAKE BONUS = B

INSERT £1 = 0

Storm Force
A Global machine on Epoch Tech
£25 Jackpot , 30p Play, 82% Payout
This layout uses Club Storm Force sounds, which appear to be a 100% match.
To me the sounds on this are some of the best I've heard on a fruit machine, really upbeat and catchy.
KEYS:
' = CANCEL 1-3 HOLDS 1-3, C= COLLECT, X = EXCHANGE, SPACE = START
Q = LEFT HI, A = LEFT LO, W = MID HI, S = MID LO, E = RIGHT HI, D = RIGHT LO

Hot Dogs
£25 Jackpot, 25p play, 82% Payout
An Impulse Gaming machine on Epoch Tech
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE
Again I have no pictures to go by, so will not 100% represent the layout of the real machine.
KEYS:
0= Insert £1
' = Cancel/Collect, 1-3 = Holds 1-3, A/N = Auto Nudge, E/X= Xchange, Space= Start
P= Picks, L= Step Left, R= Step Right, M/U = Move Up
STREAKS:
1 Bone = 1 Streak symbol
3 streaks available, Orange (will be white on real machine), Blue, Red.
Red is the top streak.
Upon entering feature, it's possible for the red streak to stretch the whole line of streak symbols, if in a jackpot ready mood, so just 1 bone = Red Streak.
The reverse, if the first streak lamp isn't orange (can be first two lamps if in bad mood), then it means a minimum of 2 or 3 bones needed for the first streak to become available.

Cut Throat Cash
A Global Games machine on Epoch Tech
£5 Jackpot 10p play, 90% Payout
My first £5 layout.
This is a 99.9% clone of Cannonball Run, made for the £5 market, but the roms will go up to £25 Jackpot. Layout is unlocked and for reference, lamp numbers are the same, so if any pictures are present an easy £25 classic could be created or if good enough pictures a £25 DX.
Sound roms from Cannonball Run a perfect fit, so may have even been used for the real machine itself.
KEYS:
Cancel = ` Hold Buttons 1-3 = 1-3, Collect = C, Auto Nudge = N, Start = Space
Take Cash = H, Take Feature = F, Take Pot (take on layout) = P, Shuffle = E
Left Hi = Q Left Lo = A Right Hi = W Right Lo = S Insert £1 = 0

THANKS TO:
Wizard (may he RIP) for the wonderful MFME

A Maygay machine on Epoch Tech.
£15 Jackpot, 30p Play 82% Payout.
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE.
Could very well be a failed test machine, it appears to be a 100% Simpsons clone.
It does have a TV gameshow vibe about it, reminds me of the Japanese gameshow programme Endurance that used to feature on Clive James on TV (later Chris Tarrant on TV). 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mRklA6KRmo&ab_channel=BestVines
Some of the feature names maybe incorrect as they are not always mentioned on the alpha, when you take them, although Hi Ro cash is not a spelling error.
KEYS:
Cancel = `, Hold = 1, Hold 2/Hi = 2, Hold 3 = 3, Collect/Stop = C, 
Exchange = E, Start = Space.
Collect Nudges = N, Collect Cash = T, Collect Feature = F

Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
A Vivid Gaming machine on MPU5 tech.
This layout will work on v6.1 or later versions of the emulator, I saw no advantage in restricting it to v20.1 users, particular, as we will be getting a DX.
Firstly, this has been a good FME team effort again. Naturally Wizard for the emulator. I believe the program/sound roms were from different people. The reels from Pandy's Hi-Lo Karate a god send. Plus we had several pictures gathered and lots of talk and suggestions about settings to get it up and running, as it was a real fussy git, that would alarm if you even looked at it the wrong way lol.
Anyway, it's 30p Play, £25 Jackpot, 82% Payout
One note, that's not obvious, Mr. Hyde knife, which activates super feature, is also used for the Vivid feature, Rise & Fall, which was a real pain in getting the lamps correctly functioning, but they do now work.
No transfer button on layout, as no note acceptor on my layout or the image I used for reference. But the button is available and lamped, along with all additional lamps, that aren't required in a classic layout to the right of the layout off screen.
KEYS:
0 = Insert £1, ' = Cancel/Collect, N = Auto Nudge & Take Nudges 1-3 = Hold 1-3, E = Exchange, Space = Start Q= Left Hi, A = Left lo, W= Right Hi, S = Right Lo

Cardinal Spin
£25, 30p play, 82% payout
A Maygay machine on Epoch tech
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE.
As usual another mute/without pictures Epoch classic layout.
The reels are a mismatch of reels from various layouts. The top reel I tried to centre the writing on the reels, but using the roll up part within the emulator, throws up an execution error. But it all functions correctly, which is the main thing.
KEYS: In notes

Spectre
A Maygay Epoch tech machine £15 Jackpot, 30p play, 82% Payout
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE.
Decided not to hold on to this, you can't polish a turd as they say.
Everything is in the right place AFAIK, some feature names are made up, because they don't display on the alpha when you collect them. There's no trail held lamp as far as I can tell, but the machine name is the trail and flashes when it holds.
I don't think there is really anything special about this machine, it seems to be just another run of the mill Maygay Epoch release in an ugly cabinet.

Globe Trotter
An Impulse Gaming machine on Epoch tech.
£25 Jackpot, 30p play, 82% payout.
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE. No pictures of machine available, so not a real representation of the machine.
Gameplay:
The middle reel hi-lo will add to the Cash and Feature stacks. The colour and suits of the cards are irrelevant.
The upper reel spins each hi-lo guess and adds supers to cash/features as well as passports, streaks, nudges and reel blasts.
It should have some sort of clock hands, as it shows 1 O'clock 2, O'clock in the test mode. So if the number is 11 it will add to whatever is at position 11 O'clock on the rings. The inner ring is open straight away, then passports open the outer ring and then collecting them again opens both rings, at the same time.
Keyboard Shortcuts:

Well better late than never, here's Monopoly Property Ladder.
A Scorpion 5 machine, £70 Jackpot, 25p/50p/£1 Stake, 80% payout.
It's my 2nd tribute release to Wizard, because I was crashing the emulator like mad, because of all the angles and shapes used and was reporting plenty of bugs to him, but naturally he sorted things out with the tools.
Unfortunately, it hasn't exactly turned out how I wanted it to, but it's been in WIP long enough and I'm fed up of it lol.
A bit annoying, like some of these Scorpion 5 machines do in real life, they run IMO far too fast during the feature (like shit off a stick I think is how I've heard it described), so it can be difficult to follow whereabouts you are up to.
KEYS:
'= Cancel, 1= Hold 1, 2= Hold 2/Hi, 3=Hold 3/Lo
S= Change Stake, C=Collect, T = Transfer, Space = Start

WIZARD (RIP) - For MFME and also for alterations to angles/shapes for me to do the board.

Stepping Stones
A Maygay machine on Epoch Tech
£15 Jackpot, 30p Play, 82% Payout
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE
Not seen a machine with this gameplay before. Fill one of the 4 trails to get into the feature or same colour numbers on reels. Filling up a trail during a feature, means the trail is then an extra life, so you could get up to 4 extra lives at one time. It makes you think about how best to use nudges, when on the feature, rather than just nudge carelessly. 
Unfortunately it's by Maygay, which means it's another one of their clunky feeling Epoch machines, rather than nice and smooth.
Wasn't sure how to lay this out, but then no one knows what the real machine looks like, so what the hell lol.

The machine is a complete clone of Spin N Tonic, as helpfully pointed out by forum member PekoJPF.  It's an Oliver Twist themed machine, as one of the lamps I haven't lamped, but have left to the side is named Oliver and also features bowls of gruel.
I have set it out as per johnnys classic of Spin N Tonic. Unfortunately the Spin N Tonice, sound roms are a bad match for this machine though.

NO ARTWORK AVAILABLE, so layout of machine is probably incorrect.
As I have been doing, but keep forgetting to say, I've been leaving supplementary lamps to the right hand side of layout, such as those for glass graphics in case of a future DX.
I'm not sure of the correct name for the Doctor Mick feature, but think it's Hold Em.

This layout is NOT mute.
A little bit rough and ready and not how I would do it from scratch now, but I think 16 months, is enough for a WIP and hopefully a DX will now follow.
I've play tested it quite a bit to get the top amounts, but the placement of the amounts may not be correct, but I believe the amounts are. Due to the large gap between producing it, there may be the odd things that is wrong, but nothing has shown up in the 2 hours I played it this morning.

Red Line by Extreme Gaming on Epoch Tech
£25 Jackpot, 30p Play, 82% Payout.
THIS LAYOUT IS MUTE and I had no artwork to work with, so is done as a guess.
Out of the mute classics, I've done, I think this is one of the best machines. It's racing themed and the top part in particular would be interesting to see how it's done. I assume it has a race track etc...but I've simplified it a lot.  
The Check Fuel part, appears to be like the Indiana Jones Russian Roulette bullet game. 
Play the Red Line Race, with as few opponents left by knocking them out by landing on the Red Line squares on the board and in the Mad Spin, for your best chance to win the race.
Thanks to the departed Wizard RIP, for the wonderful MFME emulator.

A Maygay machine on Epoch Tech.
30P Play, £25 Jackpot, 82% Payout.
Unfortunately this layout is mute. No art resources available, so it will not be a replication of the real machine. 
Win series chance button -  The alpha says, take spins. When the button is pressed,  it simply goes through the the no's lamps and either gives the win series or if it doesn't, the feature continues. There doesn't appear to be any representation of what you need to land on or light to be awarded the series. I've left components off screen to the right of the layout, if someone wants to take a look. Something I've missed or perhaps something not implemented in the emulator.
The machine has a couple of little quirks.
If you land on skill stop on the feature, you can use cancel as usual, but also any of the hold buttons to have it focus on just features, faces, cash.
Sometimes when you lose a gamble on the cash amount at the bottom and thus fail to get on the feature, you are awarded a consolation prize.
Pressing the cancel button several times when you get get skill continue, put the word continue into lower case, perhaps a bug or perhaps, some people may find it easier to hit lower case, than upper case letters on skill.
