Background
Gala Casino Queensway began offering poker in September 2008. This is not a huge casino, and the atmosphere is friendly and intimate. As a result the poker is quite friendly and social, and there is a base of loyal customers who play here regularly.
You get lots of beginners playing here, and a few mid-level players as well. A lot of people who come to the casino are people that live or work in the area, but being located at Queensway means you also get tourists coming in from the various hotels situated there.
Unfortunately, there are no tournaments on offer. So if you are into tournaments, no point in coming here. But if you like friendly cash games for low stakes, this is a good place to play.
Poker starts at 4pm everyday and continues until the 6am normally, although the casino recently went 24 hours. It is not massively busy, but you will consistently find 2 tables running and on weekends up to 3 or 4.
There's also a Poker Magic section, where people can learn to play poker with their friends.
Membership
Straightforward membership here - just bring your id and you can start playing immediately.
Food & Drink
They have a decent chargrill menu as well as a Chinese menu that is reasonably priced - £7-£10 for a meal.
Loyalty
Most cardrooms give you loyalty points for playing in tournaments, but few do so with their cash games. Gala Casino is one of them - you get points for every session (regardless of the duration) - just make sure you give your membership card to one of the staff to swipe. You can redeem your points for food/drink as well as gaming chips.
