This entry concerns a group of individual licence holders who are authorised by the Gambling Commission in Great Britain to operate land‑based gambling facilities. They are listed on the public register as holding an operating licence and are recorded as active. Publicly available information associates them with the operation of a family entertainment centre under the trading name Smiths Amusements.

Open sources outside the Gambling Commission’s register do not provide verifiable details on the date of establishment of their gambling business, on any wider corporate group structure, or on any parent or subsidiary companies. No independently sourced information is available on their broader business history, ownership changes, or expansion into additional gambling sectors beyond the activities covered by their current licence.

Licensing and Operations

According to the Gambling Commission’s public register, this operator holds an operating licence issued under the Gambling Act 2005. The licence is active and permits the provision of non‑remote gambling services in Great Britain, subject to the specific licence conditions and codes of practice that apply to the licence type.

The premises register links these licence holders to the operation of a licensed family entertainment centre trading as Smiths Amusements. Family entertainment centres are land‑based venues that may offer category D gaming machines and, where appropriately licensed, other categories of gaming machines, subject to statutory limits. The available public information indicates that their licensed activities are focused on this type of land‑based machine gaming rather than on remote (online) gambling.

The Gambling Commission register does not, in the sources consulted, show additional trading names, associated brands, or multiple licensed operating entities linked to these licence holders. No information is available in open sources about any remote operating licences (for example, for online casino, betting, or bingo), and there is no evidence that they hold such remote permissions.

The licence is recorded as active, and there is no indication in the consulted sources of suspension, revocation, or surrender. Any detailed licence conditions, financial limits, or specific product permissions beyond the general categorisation as an operating licence are not described in the publicly accessible material reviewed.

Regulatory History

Searches of Gambling Commission publications, enforcement reports, and publicly available regulatory announcements do not identify any formal regulatory action, such as fines, licence reviews, suspensions, or public statements of concern, relating to these licence holders. There is no record in the consulted material of sanctions or settlements under the Gambling Act 2005 involving this operator.

Similarly, no references were found in mainstream news outlets, industry press, or other regulatory databases to enforcement activity, contested regulatory decisions, or appeals involving their gambling operations. There is also no publicly documented history of mergers, acquisitions, or transfers of operating licences involving these licence holders.

As of the latest information available from the Gambling Commission register and other open sources consulted, the operator’s status remains active, with no publicly reported regulatory interventions or changes to licence status.
