Just wondered if anybody saw the Sunday mirror yeserday?There was an article regarding bandit profits slump in the past seven years and they were talking about all weather mc/s cos most players are smokers.Anybody in a position to elaborate on this?

Ive seen a bingo hall where they have built an outside shelter for smokers and put loads of machines there as well
It gets very busy !

I remember seeing a feature about these in "The Landlord" about a year ago, but I have never seen one in real life.

i know of an outdoor machine, used to be rovers, now its a crummy p5. the funny thing is, clearly players didn't know about it as it was always alive even when the rest of the pub/town was done.

This makes the shelter a Public place and therefore illegal

I thought it had to be 75% open, so 3 sides open with a roof??

could be wrong.

Youre a braver man than me !

It also said they were upping jackpots as well to drum up interest

Suppose it`s no stranger than the ridiculous £4.80 jackpot of late eighties - early nineties!

edited so this doesn't look illogical to those who didn't take part in last nights jollies.

k-y-r wrote jackpots are going up to 44 quid ,i'm in the know ,you heard it here first

as of yet there has not even been a proper consultation on this ,mere speculation by industry people only ,pinch of salt time.
