i might be the last to realise or one of the first but it seems that paddy power bookie shops have SWP titboxes. (not those roulette/virtual dogs FOBT jokers.)
anyway it is probably worth adding to your routes. and you don't even have to buy a half of diet coke and you can nick some shitty pens while taking the free money. don't bother with brentford though:
a. it is a hellhole
b. i have done everything but TIOLI
c. you'll get mugged by three chavs on the way out

They don't appear to have any shops outside of Greater London.

Sue, for your information SWP's are illegal in licenced betting offices. Always worth knowing blackmail info lol. Seiously they are illegal in betting offices so it would be a case of IBN making some mistake at depot level and should be sorted rather quickly I think.

how are SWP's illegal - its a skill based product and as of such requires no license
I seriously doubt they are illegal, in fact i'm pretty certain they aren't
you can site SWP's anywhere

Firstly, the conditions set by law states that no form of entertainment can take place in an LBO Secondly no monitor screen can show anything other than a sporting event that is taking place or odds etc connected to that sporting event.
William Hill looked into this back in the early ninties when they were owned by George Walker who also owned Brent Walker now owned by Namco.
There has not been any relaxing of these conditions, other than to allow first allow AWP's then FOBT's appeared which have now turned to B2 machines under gaming act 2005.
The industry would like nothing better that to get the PBO opened up to SWP's would mean at least another 12000 or so machine marketplace.
I believe the company I work for would have a very very very merry Christmas if it by some means was allowed.
