What is the SNUG?

The Snug offers a private table for a group of up to eight friends. It has a restricted view, so this is a cheaper option for guests that want to play bingo on a budget. However, it’s right by the bar… So swings and roundabouts…

Responsible Gambling

Many people wrongly believe that responsible gambling is problem gambling, so imagine playing responsibly only refers to those few people with serious gambling issues. However, that is not the case. Playing responsibly allows everyone to “Keep it Fun” by seeing gambling for what it is, and should be: an entertaining way for adults to spend some well-earned leisure time.

 

We know that the vast majority of our customers do see gambling in this way, but for a small minority of people, it can become a problem. We have therefore created a leaflet for all customers, offering useful information and tips to help everyone play responsibly, avoid problems and Keep it Fun.
