gempau Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi Im looking for some advice, maybe from any pub landlords etc, or anyone that knows.. Me and a group of friends are starting to learn the game and want t have a little get together to play.. It wouldnt be for any money, just so we can have a few beers and get some experience... plus for bragging rights... Does anyone know if we would be cool to do this in a pub ? I have been told that some landlords might be funny with us... We would be playing just for chips. no money... Can anyone advise... City Centre would be preferable !!! Thanks Alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyMafia Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 My brother and his mob have a portbable poker set they take with them to just about every pub! Thats said, I wouldnt risk it in the city centre. Try the Bannercorss upstairs, or the Lescar back room. They are very tolerant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it classified as gambling on the premises, which is utter rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, it might not be from a bookies, but if it involves gambling, it's illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheff_joe Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Is that gambling with money is illegal or any kind of gambling. Ie with Chips !

I think. There's a licsence sheet on display in every pub which displays the current laws on gambling in pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam @ Dearne Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi, It illegal in pubs to play for anything other than ''small'' stakes, whatever a small stake might be ???? I have been kicked out of several pubs for playing basic cards for pennies in the past as landlords are scared stiff of betting on the premises. My advice is to play at home any have some cans. You will only get grief in a pub. Oh and don't try it in ireland, they go ape sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
