A “Too Successful” Poker Room

With poker rooms opening in some areas and closing in others; with various police agencies raiding home poker games and allowing others; with some governments restricting online poker and others taking down all legal barriers; from all of this conflicting mess comes a strange notice from Nottingham, UK.

The Dusk Till Dawn poker room has made the somewhat surprising decision to cut back upon their scheduled opening hours because they are too successful!

In a statement issued by Managing Director Rob Yong, he pinpoints the fact that Dusk Til Dawn are in danger of becoming victims of their own success, with the level of service being offered to members being highlighted as one of the major reasons behind the decision to reduce the number of hours the club is open per week from 80 down to 40, a full 50% decrease.

“DTD has now been open for nearly 8 months. After the exhausting 2 year fight to legally open the UK’s first poker club, I was finally looking forward to relaxing and enjoying playing a bit of poker with my friends. However, everything has run at a million miles per hour and DTD just feels like “another one of my businesses", rather than the type of escape from the business world that my football club provides me with. However, running another large business is never what I wanted; my goal was to create a unique poker experience based on the personal approach, high quality service and something very different from the casino poker model.”

We have a suggestion Rob . . . Hire some experienced poker room staff to run your business, rather than close it down.

For those who might wish to play at Dusk to Dawn (well actually that would be Near Dusk Til Sometime in the Middle of the Night), the new schedule is below.
