How honest are you?

[KasinoKing]

I never feel sorry for Bookies, Casinos or Insurance Companies!
They always win; most gamblers only sometimes win.

My best experience of this at a B&M was when playing Roulette; I was using dark brown 50p chips and the dealer somehow managed to accidentally get a black £25 chip in the stack of 17 chips he was giving me.
Of course, I owned up…. Not!
I took it as a fully cashable loyalty bonus - after all, we get nothing in comps from these places in England (at least, low rollers like me don't ), we even have to pay extortionate prices for the drinks!
They got it all back pretty quick anyway, so what's it matter.

For another punter to call out an error in your favour is pretty despicable behavior.

Geeze, not only are you Brits backwards on what side of the street you drive on, but your casino chips are backwards as well!

USA:
$25 chip = Green
$100 chip = Black

Must check it out this year then. Actually, around ICE time... see if we can convince Meister and Jetset and Simmo! and Webzcas to come along for a bit of fun... if only we could get Gala to close for a private function...

Yeap the establishment is a hell of a lot better today. Lovely bar, 20+ slots, less tables, more space etc. It would be great if we could close down the entire casino only for CM accredited members

If you want high level stuff for meetings head to the colony club, Ritz club, Les Ambasseuders, Crockfords, Aspinalls, Clermont. Some of them have a door restricted policy so you won't go in unless you know someone.

I was thinking more like a bit of fun

The Colony Club is a bit too stuffy for me, and the Ritz even more so. But I have been invited to both in the past.

One of the good things about the Gala on Tottenham Ct Rd *is* the fact that Burger King is nearby! Or a nice kebab across the street, or Mickey D's around the corner...

I have a read a few Brits stating that they have to pay for drinksin Casinos?
They must reserve this treatment for Southerners or something cos here in Manchester it is free drinks and snacks(mmmm cappuccino and cheese toasties) and no lazers!

Stuffy in what sense? If you want fun head to hard rock casino or to the upcoming one in leicester square.

Jacket and tie. Hard for me to relax and enjoy myself when the damn tie is choking me to death

That's not a problem. Why I don't like about this casinos is that everyone is "too serious" in there. Also everything is so quiet. Am a member at Palm beach in mayfair but I never go. Too snob places for me.

Prawn sandwiches by any chance?



gfk: do the casinos still have the 24hr membership approval? I'm in London for 3 days in Jan (ICE) and quite fancy the idea of giving one a whirl.

So which one is closest to the Venetian in aura?
