"For Extra’s customers we will bring the best machines, gaming experience and the entertaining atmosphere you get in Quicksilver venues on the high street to people on the UK’s road network.”

Added Andrew Long, CEO of the motorway service operator Extra: “This deal means combining the extensive specialist skills and experience of Talarius with well-located, good-quality motorway service area facilities.
