Poker in the UK!

[TGuns]

Hey, I know there seem to be a decent amount of forum members that hail from the UK. I'll be flying to London in a few weeks and just wanted to know what the deal is with gambling there. Are there casinos, poker rooms, etc?

Something tells me I won't be able to visit any Native American casinos on reservations...

No Native American casinos no, but you'll see plenty of Indians



Someone reassure me that that's politically correct to say 8)

If you're going to be based in London itself then probably the main Casino is the Grosvenor Victoria Casino (pronounced grove-ner)

Victoria Casino
150-162 Edgware Road
London
W2 2DT
England

Tel: 020 72627777

or the

Stakis Regency Club

The Imperial Hotel
61-66 Russell Square
London
WC1B 5JS

Tel. 0207 833 1881

There is another one as well but i can't recall the details.

In the UK you cannot just walk into a casino and start playing, by law, you have to register as a member 24 hours before you can play (this should be changing sometime soon tho)
Registration is merely a formality tho and is free most everywhere, all you will need is some form of ID, your passport should suffice for this.
