Pubs today need more than just a well-kept bar and good ales—they require a varied entertainment offering that appeals to every guest. By investing in high-quality amusement equipment, operators can boost dwell time, increase secondary spend and cultivate loyal regulars. Regal Gaming Technologies, the UK’s leading supplier of pub gaming machines and leisure equipment, provides everything you need to transform your venue into the ultimate entertainment destination.


Why amusement equipment matters in pubs


  • Drives Footfall: Modern punters expect interactive experiences beyond the bar counter.

  • Increases Spend: Players typically spend 30–50% more per visit when engaging with coin-op games and skill-based attractions.

  • Encourages Repeat Visits: A varied mix of digital and traditional games creates fresh reasons for customers to return.

By offering a spectrum of games—digital slots, quiz machines, pool tables and darts—you satisfy different customer segments and extend visit duration.

  • FIDO Darts: Electronic steel-tip dart board with camera-based scoring, app profiles, online matches, and training modes.

Designing the perfect entertainment mix


To curate your ideal game lineup:

  1. Analyse Peak vs. Off-Peak Trade: Schedule high-bet digital slots for evening peaks and social games like pool or darts during quieter daytime hours.

  2. Balance Skill and Chance: Combine pull-tab games and reaction tests with pure-chance slots to broaden appeal.

  3. Rotate Content Regularly: Refresh game titles and tournament themes every 4–6 weeks to keep interest high.

  4. Leverage Data Insights: Use Regal’s reporting tools to track performance metrics and adjust your floorplan accordingly.

A well-balanced mix ensures every demographic—from casual players to competitive groups—finds something engaging.
