Palm Beach Casino

3.5 stars out of 5 (1 reviews)
Palm Beach Casino caters to the high stakes poker player. It used to be mainly rich tourists and businessmen but you now get pros coming now too. It's now the host of numerous major events. This is probably the closest thing you will get to the feel of a Las Vegas casino/cardroom in London.

Background

Located in the heart of Mayfair, Palm Beach Casino is part of the 5-star Mayfair Hotel. The cardroom has 6 tables and can host up to 60 players.

This cardroom clearly caters to the high stakes poker player.It used to be mainly rich tourists and businessmen but you now get pros coming now too.

The casino closed briefly in Nov 2008, but reopened in March 2009, and since then the cardroom has been busier than it has ever been.

The Palm Beach has grown into one of the premiere venues for major poker events. In September-October the casino will be hosting the WPT London Classic, the Party Poker World Open, and the English Poker Open.

Membership

You actually don't have to become a member to play at Palm Beach Casino, but you won't be able to collect more than £1500 if you aren't. So if you do end up winning anything , you are going to have to be a member!

Food & Drink

Food from the main restaurant ranges from modern International and Chinese to Indian and Middle Eastern, and a full vegetarian menu. Soft drinks and tea, coffee is complimentary if you are playing poker.
