I'm visiting London in a couple weeks and was looking for info on games there. I did a search of the site and found some info. I really don't know London that well so any info re: favorite clubs , locations, table limits, membership requirements, etc, would be appreciated.
Thanks

are 4D games with good penetration. S17 DAS with unlimited resplitting (aces too), mid-game entry no problemo. There are 6D games as well. What you'll find odd is the following:
D9, you can't split 4s or 5s, you can only insure blackjacks, and of course ENHC.
Table minimums are usually about 10 pounds, which if you're going in the next few weeks would be about $15. Table max is usually somewhere around 3000 pounds.
Dont forget you need to become a member of UK casino's before entering. Most of them allow you to fill in forms on line or via fax then you can just turn up with Id (drivers licence or passport) get your card and in you go. If you just walk in with your id you will not be able to gamble for 24hrs, also most if not all casino's require a separate membership.

The London casino scene is not great but at least bj is 3/2 LOL
All casino's require 24 hr notice to become a member so if you really want to play apply via fax or email (if possible).
Some clubs charge for the privilege to play ( avoid all these -ev joints )
I have played at the Sportsman, Palm Beach, and Grosevenor (all of these r free to join)
Avoid the Cromwell Mint I was backed of there after 10 mins and had only spread out a couple of times.
Only a couple of c.o's own most of the Casino's so being backed off at one will made it impossible/hard to play at another, remeber they will have your picture and signature on file and these are needed to enter any club !!
If you do decide to play, may the gods of S.D be on your side :)
I'll be headed there first of next month. Thanks for the info, I'll report back on latest conditions.
that most clubs have a dress code. Short and trousers is ok at most but some require a jacket as well.
Perhaps i'll see you in town ;)
you'll be the one spreading when I am ( or visa versa ) LOL these things are alot more noticeable over here.
p.s If you have any Q's you would rather not post drop me an email.
Vodka or gin?
Or do u mean short trousers.
BTW most games in London are 6 deck with bad to average pen.
The 4 deck games are also average, and tend to be at the upper end, suit and tie type places, apart from Napoleons which is just a craphouse.
The advantages include slow dealers, good if you don't count fast, dealer errors and lack of heat, I have been known to spread upto and sometimes beyond 40 units, of course being pissed as a fart and losing usually helps.
Best of luck.
