Holiday Park Arcades

**stretch** · 13th February 2006, 10:52 AM

Am going to a holiday park down south for a few days with the mrs and kids in a couple of weeks. I was wondering what people thought of the on site arcades they have.

I remember the place i went last year, there where about 9 or 10 well known machines (including a lucky strike, ceasors palace and a pie factory), but i didnt really get the time to play.

Has anyone ever hammered these holiday park arcades?

The only real place im guarenteed a profit of £200+. Depending on how well known the place is you will not lose.

The best parks are Pontins and Havens.

When I go on a little break with my family I will not leave the arcade and I just love staying in there because its so fun knowing your winning and the sharking just adds to the fun.

Where abouts is it your'e going?

Its a Haven In Tenby, I can already smell the golden nuggets

Its gotta be a dead cert. These places are full of grannies and people who dont mind wasting a few quid on the fruities.

Maybe Anfields family also love to stay in the arcades. I bet his trained em all up, they do the hawking, anfield does the mt`ing.

I enjoy myself enough playing fruiteies in the holiday parks, then an hour of footy a quick go-kart then gamble and drink in the entertainment complex at night till late night arcade shuts around 3.00am, what more could you ask for?

Is it me or is there just something VERY wrong with this thread?

You are on hols with family and all you can think of is how well the fruities are gonna play?

Agree with the above

I visited Hasting last October and while I had good time in the arcades I missed out on some wheather spoons action in the local town

.

This is what you will probably find:
Tons of 5p ago ranging from old school jpm's upto new barcrests and maygay. I say new probably about 2-3 years old.
In the 18+ sections you are guaranteed a Party Time or Golden Game. Not sure why but you usually find either a £15 Viva Rock Vegas or Spiker Biker ???? As I said im not quite sure why but these always seem to be in any holiday park I have been to.
If the holiday park has it's own bar you will probably find a couple of £100 or £250 club machines. The holiday parks I visited in Newquay and Hastings had a TOT club.

Beware as local kids/chavs love to shark these kind of places

I tend to have a rule that I only gamble alone, or with fellow gambling mates. I know it annoys friends and family when i gamble out with them.

I do look back at the good old days being a kid spending all day on the gamblers whilst on hol's

stuff museums, give me a cops'n'robbers any day of the week
