Plans for ‘family’ casino

PERKS Amusements hope to begin operating a family entertainment and casino centre in Midleton early in the New Year.

The company will now apply for an operating licence after Midleton Town Council complied with a request to adopt the Lotteries and Gaming Act 1956. In adopting the Act, the local authority rendered it legitimate for the District Court to consider an arcade licence application.

The floor-level arcade will be located in a 3,000sq ft unit at Market Green, adjacent to the Gate Cinema and opposite Tesco.
