Your Favourite Card Room

Posted 8 years ago

What's up homies?

I've been travelling about a little bit in various areas trying out different casinos just for fun and I'm starting to make a collection of different £1/1e/$1 chips but it begs the question of where others have been that are just 'must see' premises?

Where's the best you've been? Why was it so good? Would you recommend?

Been at the Portomaso as the best I've found here in Malta for the week, but I didn't get to try the Dragonara because it is closed for refurb.

Peace xo

I've only ever been to two card rooms, one was in Cambodia which was shockingly bad. It took the dealer 15 minutes to deal a hand because they did not know how to shuffle. I left after an hour playing a total of 4 hands.

The other casino was the Grosvenor near Birmingham. Decent place with quite a bit of room for poker. Don't like the fact that their MTTs overlap though which means sometimes they will just stop a game and award money based on chip stack.

This was the worst casino review I ever read

Hahahaha, 4 in an hour? Ouch. but overlapping? Like... a chip chop mid tourney?

Yeah, the roulette tables are just as bad because the croupier has to call the floor manager each time there's a payout. This casino is on a boarder so it's not really well done and I'm sure you could easily cheat using tech and not get caught.

Yeah it was a chop on the final table based on chipstack.

My fav was always the Venetian as they had super comfy seats, epic service and a 5/10 game I completely crushed for a couple of years. Sad to hear they have now halved the room to make way for some computerised blackjack game Sad
