In Germany at least, it would highly depend on the title you have playing on the console. If it's an 18+ rated title, you wouldn't be allowed to 1) allow the customers to play it, 2) show it in an open room before a certain time (22.00 or so). You could still have them playing all day long in a seperated room or any sort of area not accessible by everyone though.
I'm pretty sure that's also the reason why ET LANs are almost impossible in Germany because you'd only be allowed in, if you're 18 years and older (it's afaik not rated at all and therefore classified as an 18+ title)
first of all, diff states have diff laws, asking something like this might get u in truble
second, why the hell shouldnt a consol be legal, (it might depend on the games 18+ if u know what i mean) if you buy it and have papers for it and the tv ur pluging it in 2
i dont c any truble at all, if its ur bar ofc
if u walk into a bar plugin a consol, its not illegal either, but im sure ur gonna have a problem with the maneger
but hey, what the fuck do i know, the first job i had, i went out from the company to a restourant for lunch brake, got yelled at by my boss so hard
The terms of the sale of the console in question will inform you if you can use it for commercial purposes. I would imagine you won't be able to charge for playtime.
Game age ratings shouldn't apply, since you can't be a bar drinking at 12!! (Unless you live in Liverpool, awreet, buzzing', laughing' toffee apple laaaaad)
Should be fine. Tell your friends to his/her research instead of asking you. I assume this person is MEANT to be running a business.
