Ever since I was barred from my local public house for an unfortunate incident involving a brassiere and a handful of dry-roasted peanuts, I’ve been trying to create the feel of a modern day drinking hole in my own front room.  So far I’m stuck with some dubious top shelf bottles of brightly coloured cream-based spirits and a dulled string of horse brasses.  What I really need is some sort of fruit-machine or gaming system that will allow me to spend my money on gambling rather than just getting wretchedly drunk.

Hammacher Schlemmer to the rescue - no surprise there - with their 90-Game Tavern Arcade machine.  Consisting of a touchscreen monitor housed in a sturdy metal and plastic case (wipe clean, should one of the locals accidentally void themselves on it), it offers more than ninety games in five different categories: cards, strategy, sports, quiz & world and puzzles.

Built-in wired and wireless networking allow the manufacturer to update the system with new games, features and patches.  Yours for $3,794.95, mouthy barmaid costs extra.
