KSA says Herkenbosch pinball venue needed an operating permit
The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) said pinball machines count as skill games requiring an operating permit, after The Pinball Factory in Herkenbosch closed following its first day. Owner Adamo Eijkenboom said he had received municipal approval in January and was unaware of the permit requirement; he said the KSA had not given him a substantive response to his email after three weeks.
The KSA’s position means operators of pinball venues in the Netherlands need an operating permit.
