The location features bingo and digital slots accompanied by a service that includes free refreshments and Sky Sports on both large and personal screens.

Mark Schertle, chief operating officer of Merkur Slots’ parent company Merkur Casino UK, said: “We pride ourselves on our continued investment in UK high streets and so it means a lot to be able to support the local community and economy in Norwich through the creation of 12 new jobs.

"Every new venue we open creates an average of 10 new local jobs and we have already generated over 600 jobs across the UK in the last 12 months through developing existing venues and opening new ones.”

He added: “Our aim with this new state-of-the-art entertainment centre is to give both new and existing customers a unique gaming experience in an environment that reflects the scale of the investment.”
