I had this list of all London casinos
http://www.casinocity.com/gb/london/casinos.html

I remember calling them all by phone, and the only ones which did not use only CSM's but also shoes, were Napoleons, Grosvenor, Palm Beach (Lci), Golden Nugget and Cromwell mint (Stanley). The rest were just clones of these, or they were private clubs where you have to pay 750-1500 pounds, :laugh:

I have been banned from Gala, Napoleons, Palm beach, so what's left?:cry:
I want to go to England, not another country.:cry::cry:
I had lived there for 3 years as a student and I love it.

Can someone tell me which of these in the list still use shoes? I read in another thread a bloke sayin e.g. Ladbrokes? I think Ladbrokes told me they use only CMS's

You want to come to the UK to play? Where are you based at the moment?

Generally blackjack conditions in the UK aren't advantageous compared to those in the US or perhaps up and coming gambling meccas such as Macau? Why would you want to come here, when your name already looks to be on several wanted posters? If you've already been barred from entry to those you list, you might have to gain membership to the others using some sort of fake ID - not a good idea in the current environment, where you can end up looking like a swiss cheese just for running to catch the tube.

Autumn weekend jolly to the Smoke.

I shall be visiting the Smoke for a weekend Jolly sometime this Autumn (depending on how the footy fixtures programme turns out). Any pointers or recommendations as to which Casino in the West End is worth adding to the itinary? There are several within a short distance of each other by tube. If fate smiles I may even manage two in an afternoon. Having said that, I don't want to have to spend 30 mins waiting for a slot, and then have to suffer a crap game - I'd rather spend that time in the pub.

Not interested in those that carry an annual membership fee, and am looking for a table min of £3/£5 (getting in to see a match nowdays aint cheap!!).

Thanks in advance.

you won't find £3 tables in London. Most places with shoes have mins of £10 Fri/Sat. Napoleon still sticks with £5 min at the weekend though, and it's 4 deck :) but pen is very dealer specific.

Thanks for that. Just as well I asked. I did find the website of one of these places, and it clearly stated that they sported x number of blackjack tables and offered a £3 min. This has happened before - turned up somewhere with 40 units, only to find I really had 25. ROR then moves up into the red zone.

Thanks again.
