Is there VAT apyable on Pub game table games (Pool, Air Hockey etc)

Hi,
I'm wondering if one has to pay VAT on the sales received from pub games such as pool, air hockey etc. For instance if I have a pool table in a pub and in one month there are 100 plays at 2 euros per play, total revenue from the pool table is 200 euro. Does some of that lovely money go to the Revenue?

Here's how I see it possibly happening.
200 = 121.5%
1% = 200/121.5 =1.65
VAT @ 21.5% = 35.39
Net (of VAT) sales from pool = 164.61

If this is the case what is the rate of VAT that is applicable?

Your above calcs seem fine to me.
