A gaming hub in Bolton is moving to bigger premises due to growing demand for more games.

Game Vault is moving in April from its current space in The Vaults to a bigger space next to Nando’s.

The relaunch will see more games, with more VR machines like shooting games and rollercoaster simulation, as well as classics like darts boards.

Ryan Bromley, general manager said: “It will be bigger due to demand, and we hope to have more customers.

“It’s been steady since we started at the end of October so it has only been a few months, but some days are quieter than others.

“We have still managed to grow and hopefully can grow further with this new move.”

Game Vault, in Market Place Shopping Centre, has had some good feedback from people saying it is something that Bolton needs.

Ryan said: “It brings some people’s childhood back, with classic games and then there’s the new world of VR too.

“We have invested large figures in new VR machines and people love it because, where we are now, it is always so busy for the VR.

“We will have VR rollercoasters and shooters and will have five or six now as opposed to just two, and we will have newer ones like basketball hoops.”

The new space will also incorporate a bar with cocktails, snacks and soft drinks.

Ryan said: “The Marketplace has been very supportive of us and they are happy we are here.

“We have listened to people and we have got a darts machine too.

“VR is always so popular, with the rollercoaster we sometimes have a queue.

“The whole place brings the childhood nostalgia feel as well to the adults.

“It was the plan to do this and if the public say they want something, we try to get it but we didn’t have enough space before.

“But where we are moving to has more space and we can have parties.

“We are looking forward to the relaunch and hope people will come and enjoy it.

The relaunch will take place in April but an official date is yet to be confirmed.
