What would happen if it rains?

Easy to steal

Who would monitor it if any under age people were playing it

Personally i think that this is not a very practical idea and very much doubt it would happen.

Exactly.

Also if someone gets hungry, what's to stop them eating it?
A whole Roys Royce has been eaten by a Frenchman before now, so I'm sure a fruit machine is just a mere apertif. Remember to spit the pound coins out. Hold on there's someone here now, got to go......

Its possible, quite a few bars here have tv's outside.

Obviosly protected from the rain by glass, or plastic maybe.

It would obviously have to be a completely different cabinet etc but it is doable.

I'm guessing that they will only be in places where the outside smoking area is out the back and is only accessible through the pub/club itself. I imagine it would get wheeled inside at night as well.
streaky bacon?

There was an article in coin slot mag a while ago about some free house owner had put one outside because his income had dropped so much since the smoking ban.

I would expect to see more.
