Illegal slots in Dublin: now a tourist attraction for US airlines

Here's what American Airlines, in its 'where-to-bring-the-kids-in-Dublin' guide, says about the seedy, 'over-18s', O'Connell Street arcade (emphasis added by me):

"If arcade games and amusements are your idea of fun, than look no further than the bizarrely named Dr Quirkey's, which features a bewildering array of amusements: from spectacular aircraft simulators to highly addictive slot machines. Due to its central location on O'Connell Street, it can occasionally get a little overcrowded and boisterous, but Dr Quirkey's is a lot of fun and is popular with both children and adults."

Slot machines, of course, are illegal in Dublin.

Are they completely illegal, even if the amount per play in minimal?

There's an amusements spot on Skerries beach packed with slot machines and Funtasia or whatever it is out in Bettystown is the same.
