Gambling for all

Article Abstract:

UK local authorities are allowing the inclusion of amusement facilities in many leisure complexes, aimed primarily at families and young people. The amusement industry has joined together with police, local authorities and education departments to ensure that premises are run correctly and operations are monitored in accordance with local authority demands. Research suggests that young people cannot be harmed or encouraged towards anti-social behaviour by playing on amusements in arcades. Guidelines prevent access to arcades for school-aged children during school hours.

Inflating profits

Article Abstract:

Inflatable bouncers provide high return for small capital investment. Size and design vary from small toddler to large themed bouncers and cost between 1,000 and 6,000 pounds sterling. Manufacturers may offer a repair or annual maintenance service. Usage and wear and tear will determine durability. Indoor static bouncers will last longer than continually transported inflatables.
