    Get some good cash games at Circus Casino Edinburgh.

    £1/2 blinds are the only limits available though.

    There are no fully-licensed "pure" Cardrooms in Scotland. There are a number of fully Licensed Cardrooms in Scotland which also have a poker room. These include the Alea & Grosvenor in Glasgow, Maybury Gala (Edinburgh), & Grosvenor in Aberdeen, & The International.

    In fact, I only know of one fully licensed "pure cardroom" in the UK, & that is DTD in Nottingham.

    Running "Live Poker" in B & M rooms as a stand-alone entity is just not commercially viable, I'm afraid.

    Does DTD run at a loss? I remember when it opened Rob Yong said he didn't care if it did, he just wanted to do it for UK poker.

    to be fair the Uk poker scene needs that little bit extra, we havent really had much gain from the moneymaker boom and although since pub poker was made leagal we've had a boom theres still not enough to encourage good players to play. We have casino games and DTD but from what i hear thats all that we have live. We need a minature Vegas i think

    Was at the circus casino monday, Was dealt AA KK and QQ and did'nt win with any of these hands. Also played friday with a bit more luck although did go out 10,10 against KK. I shoved to pick up the blinds and ante which was about 40% of my stack
