New casino in Leeds

[nosey-p]

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?

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.

The site is not very good, will have to go down and find out

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"m very interested in going along (but only if they have banned the playing of AJ )

[HaworthBantam]

Wayne and Stuart, I"ve mailed them asking about their schedule, structure, buy ins etc. I"ll let you know what I get back. Might be worth a visit....

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

.....from what i have heard of the casino though i think its meant to be a night out first a casino second.....

That"s the impression I got from just looking at the web site.

Received the following reply tonight....

Hi Ian,

The Monday and Wednesday tournaments have 20 minute blind levels starting at 25/50.

The rebuy tournaments start at 50/100. First two levels of this are 40 minutes,then 20 minute blind levels after that.

opps, looks like another mail to the casino.....

[Swinebag]

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