“Bring back skittles”
Published:  28 September, 2011

Replacing amusement machines with traditional games could help bring more young adults into British pubs, the Campaign for Real Ale is arguing, despite the common conception that this market prefers electronic entertainments. CAMRA says that an independently-conducted survey of 1000 consumers showed that 49 percent of adults aged between 18 and 25 said games such as darts, skittles, bar billiards and shove ha’penny would encourage them to use more pubs.

Pub attendance among that age group has been dropping, it added, with the percentage of 18-to-24-year-olds who visit the pub at least once a week declining from 36 in 2006 to 25 this year.

Said Colin Valentine, CAMRA’s national chairman: “These games are part of our heritage and can be enjoyed by large numbers of people at no cost. This means more money can be spent at the bar, which helps pubs and breweries. Of course pubs get a cut from gaming machines, but I am sure more profits can be made through a variety of food and drink.”
