Background
The Golden Nugget has a great central location on Shaftesbury Avenue, just a couple minutes walk from the Fox or the Empire.
It's a good place to play if you are a casual low stakes player. The stakes are low and players recreational. You get a lot of regulars at the cardroom and there's healthy banter between players and dealers, so it's quite friendly and relaxed.
Cash games are £1-£1 (25 min, 150 max). There’s usually one or two tables running from 8pm onwards. The stakes are low so there’s a lot of limping, although people aren’t particularly aggressive. Rake is 5% capped at £5.
