Background

If you have been around the London poker scene, you may recall the Gala Casino at Russell Square had a busy cardroom back in the day. It wasn't making enough money and management decided to close it down. Seven years later, they have reintroduced poker, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Previously, the cardroom occupied the entire downstairs area known to regulars as the "dungeon". Nowadays, there are two poker tables upstairs on the casino floor offering purely cash games. Games are pretty much all £1-£2 NL Holdem.

You will find a lot of young players, some casino fish, and some of the old regulars that used to frequent the cardroom are starting to come back.

There is normally only one table going, but at busy times, if there is enough demand they will open the second table.

Food & Drink

There's a restaurant, and of course you can get all the regular bar food and drinks on the casino floor as well.

You can join the same day, as long as you have proper ID
