AMS are proud to supply a range of quality Lottery Ticket Machines and a wide range of varied Ticket Games.

Clubs are permitted in the 2005 Gambling Regulations to run their own “licence exempt “small” lottery” provided that a minimum of 20% of the profit goes to a charitable or non-profit organisation, since most Clubs have this status it means that all the profits from a Club Lottery can be used for the benefit of its members.

We arrange this lottery by printing “sets” of tickets that have a fixed number of entries “tickets” and a fixed scale of prizes in each set. This arrangement guarantees a fixed profit for the Club when all of the tickets have been sold.

Tickets come in a range of prices 25p, 50p and £1 with most Clubs opting to run one of each to maximise choice and generate all important profits.

In order to make this as easy as possible, we supply a rent-free machine to vend the tickets. The machine allows members to purchase tickets without staff intervention. When a member has bought a ticket they open the five sealed windows (three sealed windows on Uno Machines) on the rear of the ticket to see if they have won a prize. If they have a winner they claim the ticket prize either over the bar or by arrangement with a member of the committee (some Clubs do this with the larger cash prizes).

On a regular time-scale (usually once a week) a person authorised by the committee will “cash up” the machine and re-fill tickets. Particularly busy Clubs will have to do this a number of times a week. The latest models require access to a secure section of our website, using a unique username and password to view a fully itemised report to verify cash takings for each calendar month.

When a Club have sold all the tickets in a set, they may re-order the same set again or choose another from our wide range. The purchase of tickets from AMS covers any servicing of the machine.
