Sorry to hear about your dad, mine is currently in hospital after having a fall in town a couple of weeks ago, very long story cut short they later found he had a perforated gall bladder (oddly however they reckoned unrelated to the actual fall) and I'll never ever forget the phone call last week where they mentioned they would have to perform an emergency operation overnight with a sombre warning that it might not be a success
Thankfully it all went OK and he is on the mend although still has a long way to go
Manchester Airport has a small arcade area in one of the terminal arrival areas which has several fruit machines although these days mainly just the pointless likes of Deal Or No Deal MAXIMUM (on 70% of course to really improve your mood after a long flight!), I did get a GO ALL THE WAY on the £100 Deal Or No Deal Midas Touch last time I was there though! Had quite a few 'playable' machines over the years although there used to of course be players in the local vicinity generally keeping on top of them and they perhaps don't get a ton of casual play anyway compared to the handful of £500 terminals...also half of them are broken anyway in terms of the accepting money side of things to begin with and nobody really seems in that great of a rush to come out and repair them as in I've gone back 6 months later and a machine is still there and still broken!
I'm going to perhaps annoy you now, the train rather than the tram to Manchester Piccadilly station would have taken you 10-15 minutes rather than an hour and you could have then just caught a Bury tram from there
Been gone for 10-15 years now but Manchester Piccadilly station also used to have the 'Big Shots' arcade which was literally a Noel Edmonds fantasy world with the amount of DOND fruits they had!
You are correct in that Bury Admiral is 99.9% digital with 0.1% granny Bar X 10p and 0.0% fruit machines, to be fair pretty much the same for every Admiral and Merkur venue in the UK these days though, and they wonder why the arcades are dead (both venues are 24/7 though because shift workers might want to enjoy a gamble according to the planning permission and nothing at all to do with an addict wanting to pop in and do brains)
