JennyMorgan Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Nowadays most of us have a gaming machine and a video games console in our back pockets, our mobile phones. Darned things, along with the cost of stamps, have also killed the picture postcard trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 I never paid any rent but my split was a straight 50/50 whether pool table, video game or fruit machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I operated from 1980 I could offer a 50/50 split on Pool tables (most landlords preferred a low rental) 50/50 split on video games after the Vat was paid on the cash box total, the same with bar billiards. Under the gaming act operators could only offer a rental on Fruit Machines and Pin Tables offering a 50/50 split was against the law.

In my case I was effectively renting floor space to the operator on a variable rent, don't think for one minute that he, a very reputable operator from Yarmouth, would have done anything untoward, not worth risking his gaming licence.
