New casino in Leeds
« on: September 15, 2008, 18:28:23 PM »
As anybody been to the new casino in Leeds?

I believe it's at Clarence Dock but I cannot find anything on it on the net.
Is it a Grosvenor casino?
As it got a poker room?
Will APAT be going there?
Do any of the local APAT'S fancy trying it out?

http://www.aleacasinos.com/alea/leeds/index.html

Might be worth a visit, but from the website there"s not much info about poker. Plenty of info about their bars and restaurant though - doesn"t fill me with confidence.

Wayne, the site is utter pants.

There is, however, a mail address (pokerleeds@aleacasinos.com) on the website should anyone want details of poker at that venue.


Edit: the above mail address is also pants. Try infoleeds@aleacasinos.com

i hope its an improvement on the rest of the poker scene in leeds. for a big city the scene is terrible! from what i have heard of the casino though i think its meant to be a night out first a casino second, not sure where poker fits into that as well.

worth a go though no doubt

looks like a decent structure (self or dealer dealt) for a casino. may have to have a look over half term.
