Re: Birmingham - Gala Casino isnt this the one that's undergone a massive refurb? Any idea on their numbers?

Re: Birmingham - Gala Casino I attend this Casino on a regular basis and since the refurbishment and the new card room it is really hard to have any complaints. It is a great place to play poker for tournaments and cash. The tournaments are good structures and numbers are usaly around 50/60 mark which is good considering the competition from the well known and respected Broadway Casino. Schedule is different now.

I'd heard good things after the refurb but have only in the last few weeks started going there. I am impressed on the whole and think it's a great addition to the Midlands poker scene. Positives Unconditional Guarantees Valet parking Excellent poker room Very good cardroom manager Good dealers Good schedule for my regular buy in level (£20 - £40) Anyone answers a mobile phone their cards are insta mucked Sunday comp starts at a great time (see schedule below) Plenty of valets on duty Very good snack menu The restaurant looks good though not tried it yet Slight Negatives A little bit cliquey and I've witnessed some blatant soft play in a satellite recently No penalty or even a warning for folding out of turn Breaks are too far apart (2 hrs) and too long when you get one. The 1st break last's for 30 mins which is unnecessary. Driving to it, (located right in Birmingham city centre) is a total traffic nightmare. Monday 8:30pm. £10 Unlimited Re-buy 90mins late entry/alternates Double chips on add-on £1000 Unconditional Guarantee Tuesday 8:30pm. £25 Deepstack Freeze-out 120mins late entry/alternates 15,000 chips £1500 Unconditional Guarantee Wednesday 8:30pm. £20 Deepstack freeze-out 120mins late entry/alternates/re-entry 12,000 chips £1200 Unconditional Guarantee Thursday 8:30pm. £40 Megastack freeze-out 120mins late entry/alternates 18,000 chips £2000 Unconditional Guarantee Friday 8:30pm. £20 with one optional Re-Buy 120mins late entry/alternates 6,000 chips starting stack, 9,000 chips for re-buy £2000 Unconditional Guarantee Saturday 8:30pm. £30 Deep stack Freeze-out 120mins late entry/alternates/re-entry 15,000 chips £1500 Unconditional Guarantee Sunday 5pm. £25 Deepstack Freeze-out 120mins late entry/alternates 15,000 chips £1200 Unconditional Guarantee Overall I've been pleased with it.
