Hole card to be in UK?

Hey peeps,

According to the gambling commisions, it has been approved in the uk to allow such games

Anyone know any places will start to offfer such game?

Hmmm . . . . Vegas cometh nigh?

Two good ones in there for the player - BJ with a hole card, and even money chance on a roulette zero (instead of an immediate loss). The rest will all have a hefty house edge. Personally I can's see any casino in the UK offering US, hole-card, BJ or en-prison on a roulette zero (why would they?). If they do, I'll have to revise my BS and indices. Would be great if they also offered the LS option (or even ES). We'll see.

If these proposals are the result of solicitations from the industry, I doubt very much whether the additional games will result in increasing footfall, but are more likely that they will just increase the hold on the amount of money already going across the tables. Let's be honest, it's hard times for the industry with high taxes, relatively high labour costs, closures and the biggest player riddled with debt.
