Our story
WHERE IT STARTED
Retro arcades for the home
Play Leisure started out supplying retro arcade machines to people who wanted to relive their childhoods. We loved every minute of it.
GROWING UP
Supplying the trade
As we grew, we moved into commercial sales, supplying hundreds of arcades, amusement centres and tourist destinations with thousands of arcade games, pinball machines and amusements.
TODAY
Partnering with venues
In 2022 we started partnering with venues on a profit share basis. We now have machines in over 100 venues across the South West and Wales.
