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.

Almost certainly...
Are you going to be the one to go and tell all the old girls they cant smoke and play ??
Youre a braver man than me !

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.
