Nottingham-based poker club Dusk Till Dawn, the first legal poker club in the UK, opens its doors for the first time on Nov. 29.
While the schedule is yet to be fully confirmed, all tournaments on offer will be freezeouts (no rebuys), and there will be a £500 tournament to celebrate the opening of the club on Saturday, Dec. 1. Online satellites for the opening tournament will be available on DTDPoker over the coming months.
The club initially opens Thursday to Sunday from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. and will gradually increase its opening times as more staff are recruited. Current projections are to increase by an additional day every three months, although this will depend on the growth of the workforce.
Owner Rob Yong says, "We are now completely focused on recruiting and training good quality people to work at the club and will only open seven days a week once we have these people in place. We want to ensure that every single player who visits the club receives the highest level of service from the minute they walk in to the minute they leave."
