A new amusement arcade complete with bingo, betting and adult gaming facilities is planned for the Prestatyn arm of one of the UK's premier holiday parks.

Pontin’s, owned by Ocean Parcs, will create hundreds of new jobs at the location through a £5m revamp and expansion plan, which should be complete within the next three to five years, subject to a planning application for the scheme.

Ocean Parcs is set to invest around £50m in its five UK centres as more Brits holiday at home. Commenting on the investment, chief executive Ian Smith said: "We are very excited about 2010 and beyond when, subject to planning approvals, our investment and job creation will increase substantially above that announced in February."
