Hey all,not done anything for ages but been messing with this all afternoon,it's a mixture of pics i taken from rhyl and some from google and ebay.As you can see the art is by no means great but at least there will be a dx for this decent empire game.Shouldn't take to long to sort out lamp wise once i get sorted.

 

Could someone move to correct category please,old rusty nuts put it in wrong section

glad to see you dabbling in PS again, never played this but look forward to giving it a bash when ready, will there be 2 sizes of this so us lappy guys can play it full sized please??

Was definitely one of empires better machines used to have one around here years agohad quite a bit going on for an empire. Looking good

Just seen them pics from eBay, not bad quality like my casino crazy fruits and the possible viva Vegas £5 layout. I see the eBay machine was set on £8jp/10p could you do a version set on that too, a slightly more challenging game on that setting.

Ok managed to lamp this up,had to redraw the name as the name on the images was flash burned or scrapy due to images being jpegs,it ain't all that great but it will do untill wew get some decent art for this machine.

I can create the logo on the off image, if you are interested, it will blend better. This looks good enough though.

That would be great if you can do it, many thanks. I havent really spent that much time on this tbh. The images werent great but thought there good enough for a rough dx.

[fuzion]

Can you send me the original off image via pm?

[TommyC]

Look good but the reservior frog logo looks slightly odd it should also have a black or darker red border around the wording can you make the colour a shade more orangy to match the feature trail text maybe.

I know it looks odd, the name was shit on all images the reason I didnt put a black border round it was because on the inages I had there was no border visible.fuzion is sorting the name out for me. As for the 8 quid version its shite so not bothering with that..

[fuzion]

Check your PM fella.  I've tried to make it as authentic looking as possible, but like you said the artwork isn't great in the first place.

 

Anyway see what you think fella

Nice one, that looks really good, less 'sticky outy'    Red has to be the hardest colour to lamp.

 

All the best

Someone on one of the Facebook pages was selling one of these I think.

Might be an opportunity to get more images.

[TommyC]

Could be the some of the images i used. Not got face book, but if anyone else has then try grab some more images that would be great.

Wow that layout looks great!

 

I used to own this machine very briefly, its a fun game but there was a problem ... I am not sure if they are all like this but mine was definitely anti force coded. The guy who delivered it to me many years ago now even said its a hard old game to win !!

 

He was right, regardless of stake, jackpot or % settings you could never do well on this game. To make it entertaining you literally had to collect something every board. Maybe my machine I owned was a one off, I checked the coin in and coin out meters before I sold it. They had not gone round the clock again and I can assure you that the machine I owned had absolutely raked it in for the operators paying out less than 30% in its lifetime !!

 

Did Empire release these like this or was my machine rigged once it got out into the wild. Would be very interesting to see what you guys think when you can play this layout.

 

Apart from the "illegal" payout percentage, its not a bad game from what I remember, good design, £5, £8, £15 or £25 jackpots available and good sounds with lots of features.

 

I'll never forget it haha, one of those machines I didn't keep for to long. Just shocked when I checked those meters at the bottom which explained everything!!
