Evening gents,

Has it aver crossed anyones mind to open their own arcade ? does anyone actually own an arcade ?

Its crossed my mind recently, get a lil shop, dress it up a little, get a gambling licence & find a supplier.

Bit risky i know, but hey ive lost enoughy in my time, why not try to get some back ! figure i know enough gamblkers to tempt them away from showboat..

Any experiences ? views on the matter ?

Nails on this website is opening his own arcade.

we own an arcade and its not as easy as you thing.

gambling licenses can be a nightmare to get and you have to have at least 25-30 grand up front just to get machines that will entice people to spend their money.

Ive looked into the licencing permits & regs & yeah it looks pricey. Would need to knock on bank managers door for a loan me thinks. I think its a risk worth taking though, if it means you do something you enjoy for a living & if you can entice people in & treat them right, you can get yourself a loyal customer base & a good business, once the difficult first year is out of the way

Ill update you if i get any progress. I saw Nails' thread shortly after posting this one so no wonder the topic has gone a bit flat ...
