Local Amusement Machine Suppliers: Dover, Folkestone & Deal
Proudly serving the south east coast for over four decades through our Dover roots.
For pub landlords, club committees, and business owners in Dover, Folkestone, and Deal, Invicta Amusements is the premier choice for high-earning gaming and entertainment machines.
While we are known today as Kent’s premier independent supplier, our heart has always been local. Invicta Amusements was formed from the amalgamation of three stalwart Kent companies. A vital part of that DNA is CBS Automatics of Dover, a company that established the gold standard for service in this area back in 1981.
​
We aren't just another supplier trying to break into the coastal market; we are the continuation of the area's longest-serving amusement operator.
Our Dover Roots: A Tradition of Service Since 1981
We don't just claim local heritage; we can prove it!
​
CBS Automatics was founded in Dover in 1981 by David Grilli and Roger Marsden. They built a reputation on rapid response times, in-house technical expertise, and a genuine commitment to their customers' profitability.
​
The article below, from the September 1989 issue of CoinSlot Magazine, documents a major milestone: CBS Automatics expanding into purpose-built premises on the Poulton Industrial Estate in Dover to handle their booming local trade.​
​
​This heritage is now part of Invicta Amusements
From CBS to Invicta: The Same Commitment
Today, as Invicta Amusements, we uphold that exact same promise. By acquiring CBS, we ensured that their decades of local knowledge, relationships with local venues, and high standards of engineering weren't lost—they were strengthened by being part of the larger Invicta group.
When you deal with us in Folkestone or Dover, you are dealing with the direct successors of that original local team.
​

Why Dover & Folkestone Businesses Choose Invicta
National suppliers often treat coastal towns as an afterthought. Because our roots are here, we treat you as a priority.
