Marine Amusements Arcade Gorleston-on-Sea

Local Area

Gorleston-on-Sea, located just south of Great Yarmouth, is separated by the River Yare. The recent addition of the Herring Bridge has made traveling between the two seafronts easier than ever. While smaller than Great Yarmouth, Gorleston seafront has many charming attractions to explore and has one of the best beaches on the east coast of England.

Marine Amusements is a nice little amusement arcade located in the main tourist area on the lower cliff promenade at Gorleston beach. This area is also a car park with single entrance that can get very busy during peak times. 

There is an ice cream shop, café and fish and chip shop plus a range of high-quality restaurants along the strip. There are further amenities on the Gorleston High Street, which is a short drive away with a range of national chain shops and even a Wetherspoons.

With the entire venue being fairly compact, the casino slots lounge takes up more than half of the venue, though it does have a fantastic range of gaming machines. There are £500 jackpots to be won, with an even mix of £25 and £100 jackpots also available to win.

The venue is compact and simplistic, though still manages to have a balance between different machine types for it to be a solid arcade. It sees huge footfall in peak season, and it still manages to satisfy holiday makers and locals alike.
