Nottingham Welcomes A New Poker Playing Option
When you think of poker and Nottingham, it is understandable that you will instantly think of the Dusk Till Dawn club. This venue is known across the United Kingdom as being one of the best places to play poker in the country and the people behind it are well known on the poker circuit. The fact that a large number of the doubts that surrounded the ISPT event at Wembley were washed away when DTD stepped in to back the event says a lot about the reputation that this club holds.
However, this weekend, while the Wembley tournament kicks off and the DTD reputation will be on the line in London as opposed to Nottingham, poker players are going to be given a new poker option in the city.
This is down to the fact that there is a new casino VIP area opening up on Friday in the city and it promises to provide poker players with somewhere else to go. The Alea Casino, which is located in Upper Parliament Street is providing players with poker tables alongside American roulette and blackjack tables in their new private bar area. There is also going to be a waitress service available and this continues the work the venue has carried out in recent times to provide something for more stylish guests.
The more poker venues the better
The Alea were behind the opening of the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill which opened in 2012 and this new poker venture continues this theme.
Mark Hands, the director of the new venue said;
The VIP lounge will be invitation only for people who want a little more privacy to fully enjoy their visit. Our new Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill has gone down well with the city’s foodies and we felt it was time to extend our ‘affordable glamour’ offer by adding a VIP area to appeal to people who wouldn’t necessarily have been to the venue before.
While the Dusk Till Dawn club is the natural choice for poker players, there is no doubt that some poker players will feel intimidated by this sort of venue. There is a big difference from playing poker online in the comfort of your own home to playing poker in one of the most respected venues in the country. Although Alea claim that they are aiming for a higher class of crowd, you’ll likely find that the poker tables become open for most players. After all, poker tables are no use if you don’t have poker tables! This venue could be one that is slightly more welcoming for players looking to find some real live poker experience.
The Dusk Till Dawn Club has nothing to worry about just yet but there is no doubt that Nottingham is definitely becoming a force to be reckoned with when it comes to poker options.
