This week, the UK Govt are set to announce a wide ranging review of gambling, with new curbs being imposed mainly on high st bookmakers.
But, it is also strongly rumoured that seaside arcade slot machines and coin pushers will no longer be accessible to children.
Those machines might not be so sinister compared to £100 a spin roulette machines in bookmakers, but they are a significant source of revenue for the Pier company.
I do hope this traditional pleasure doesn’t suddenly get swept away by the ‘nanny state’ govt.
