This is a VPX recreation a 1987 Gottlieb Monte Carlo table. Big thanks to Destruk, Lander, TAB, and XtremeMame for their work on a early version. You will have to do some creative internet searching for the rom "mntecrlo.zip".

Great table, thank you rascal.

Destruk, Lander, TAB, and XtremeMame ...

How cool is that?

Thanks, Al!

[Ben Logan]

Looks extra cool, rascal

[bjschneider93]

Looks great. Thank you

Thanks for awesome creation. Hopefully a B2s is in the works

So far, the only real problems I can find with this table, the roulette wheel decides the numbers before it’s actually done spinng, and I’m pretty sure I have had it mess up a few times ( ball will land on even and black) and I won’t get any credit for example.

I had a ball drain once and not count and needed a restart. Overall great remake! This is one of my favorite gottlieb tables, and I hope someone really gives this some tlc now that rascal did the leg work! Awesome job dude!

You can work a lot on converting tables. Thank you very much!

Thanks to all involved in the making of this table !

[STAT]

Thanks also rascal - i always wanted to do that, but also haven't the complete Knowledge, not yet, only tried one VPX (Hi-Score Pool, 50%) - about the possible "Bugs" here and there during the Converting,

maybe you can win a Partner or Help from e.g. someone of the VPX Authors ... whatever, thanks: i wanted to do - but you did it

Great Table. Thanks for all the hard work.

[Slydog43]

Thanks for another vpx conversion.  Does anyone have a good directb2s for this table?

[xenonph]

Only backglass version I have found is here Steve...

I don't know about the drain thing you had, but I did find that I forgot to turn off a timer that enables the 12 kickers in the spinner, so that would enable them to register a hit earlier then they should. I uploaded version 1.1 now with that timer fixed. See if that fixes it. Thanks for the bug report.

 

Here is the backglass I used for the desktop backdrop, if this would help to make a new B2S.

I think I have an updated BG, can share/upload it later...

[roccodimarco]

Ok, so I’m still running into the problem with the roulette wheel. The ball still spins even though the game thinks the ball has stopped in a hole. I have had a few games where the ball drains but does not register a drain, I would say about three or four games. An easy fix, both gates by the flippers are supposed to be two way. This next fix may be a physics problem, but when you are award multiball the ball from the right lock will 90% of the time drain right down the center and never have a chance to be hit (maybe increasing the kicker strength?)

If someone can help me with physics i would love for this table to feel a little messy “floaty” but man, this is such a great table, and i love the upgrade from vp9! Great work so far rascal, and sorry about all the bugs I’m listing, this is just a table I really enjoy!

What you have there looks quite nice.

Ok, I just released a beta 1.2. Please test it. I fixed the gates to go 2 ways down by the flippers. I fixed the release of the ball on the right middle kicker as to not go straight down the drain. I can't recreate your issue with the drain, but I tightened it up anyway and set the kicker hit height to 60 (it was at 40 which is pretty low, but that's how it was originally). The reason I released 1.2 as a beta is because I left a test textbox on the desktop view right side that shows what the roulette wheel is registering. It should match what the wheel displays. I made the stop timer stop immediately, so the ball gets caught in a kicker right away. Not as nice looking as letting the ball loop a few times after the wheel stops, but might fix the problem. Again this is a beta, for testing only. Maybe some good coders can look at this and see what I am overlooking. The wheel appears to be working properly to me. All the code for the spinning wheel is at the end of the script, so if someone wants to look it over it should be easy. I had a copy of the games manual and I assigned the kickers to the right switches according to the manual. So I don't know what else to say here. Test let me know, before I make it official.
