Austrian gaming giant Novomatic Group has reportedly purchased a large family entertainment centre from Henry Morton in Hastings on the south coast of the UK.

This arcade is next to an adult gaming centre owned by Harry Symmonds.

According to Coin-op Community, Novomatic spent days removing all of the old stock from the venue, but in a U-turn decided that the arcade will be run as an FEC - understood to be the company’s first directly-run location of this kind

Could this be the start of a massive FEC investment programme in the UK from Novomatic?
