Southend

Does anyone know anything about the games and playing conditions at the casinos at Southend?

I think they're called Rendezvous & Maxims.

I'm trying to access if they would be worth travelling to, so any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I think they are both owned by one of the chains, so the rules will be the same as for their other outlets - although I'm sure the deck penetration will vary by dealer. I'm told that one of them has the only craps table in the UK - so that's got to be worth the visit, just to get some clay on the pass line and take full odds ! ! !

Thanks Newb99, I have no idea how to play craps, It would be a spectators sport for me but i'm sure worth a look.

I've done more research and it turns out that Maxims in part of the Stanley Chain and Rendezvous is part of a chain called London Clubs International.

I have previously played in a Stanleys Casino (Mint) and they use CSM's on their lower limit tables. I seem to remember the Pen being ok on their hand shuffled games. Does anyone know if this would be the simular for Maxims or not?

I have never been to a London Clubs International owned casino, so have no idea if they use CSM's or what their playing conditions are. Has any one else got experience with this casino or chain?

I don't mind taking a risk on bad pen as I can look for other weaknesses in their games but the last thing I want to do is travel 100 miles to be faced with a room full of CSM's or hand shuffled games with too higher table mins for my BR to allow.

Thanks.
