This Festival may compliment the £1000 star city event on the 7th if people wish to stay in the city for a few days.
 
We are nothing to do with "star city" 
We are an independent casino, If some of you remember the "old" Rubicons e.g. Coventry, Northamton, Wolverhampton These were owned by Monte Shine. The Broadway and the Shaftesbury are owned by his son Martin Shine. If you old timers remember the "old" Rubicons then you will remember they were very poker orientated. We are situated about 700meters from the Rainbow Casino.

                    £1000 chip structure will be 10,000pts on an hour clock
                     £500 (+1 rebuy) will be 5000pts(10,000) on an hour clock
                     £300 (+1 rebuy) will be 3000pts(6,000) on an hour clock
                     £100(+1 rebuy) will be 2000pts(4000) on a 30/45 min clock

                   (brackets are potential chips with optional rebuy OR top up) STC

If the mini fest works well the next festival will go massive! Advertising wise we are mainly doing it word of mouth. As I believe in the poker community the fire spreads quick. Therefore we rely on good service and facilities. Let the poker players advertise it themselves and if we do not deliver then its our own fault.
BTW we will never charge registration fees whilst I am in charge of the card room, I think its a disgrace to make the players pay, as the whole idea is to bring customers in!! And we supply dealers for ALL games. :o

Many thanks for this..
Just booked two rooms.
Fatmarra from Darlington is coming down and Greek Jack and Myself..

Looks good to me, especialy with the Broadway's FANTASTIC prize structure

Sorry red plz read payout structure thread. Had a disaster!

man why did you have to make them 1 rebuy events why not make them double chance freezeouts instead

i really dont like walking around with money like that in my pocket

Sorry Ironside, but there are cashpoints inside. We can pay you in cheque form when you win it!

i cant use the cashpoint when i ask for a rebuy can i

so i have to take out the money before hand and walk around with it


if i dont use it then i have to walk home with it (or put it on the magic roundabout which aint gonna happen)

Sigh, well you did try, Bad luck mate

What is the maximum number of players for each event please ?

Do you need to reserve your seat in these events?

If so, what options are available regarding payment?

And great news on registration fees. Twisted my arm.  :)

As it is our first event and not much advertising has been done, we are limited to 110 players, If successful in this festival we have the capacity to expand to 200+ for next year.

You can register now for any event, we have been accepting individual cheques for each event but they need to have cleared by the 5th Sept, so its pushing it a bit now.

You can register any time at cash desk in the Broadway. You do not have to do it in person, but someone who represents you with the money can register for you.

Hope this helps.

Good luck with your festival dik9, I really hope your hard work pays off.
Did Golden Anal get a seat tonight?

Hi Dik9,

Are you doing anymore sats for any of these, i think i will be down for the £100 + £300 hopefully.

I know you have detailed before - just point me to thread if easier.

ta

i THINK HE COPPED THE BUBBLE PAUL!

WE HAVE A £50 SUPER SAT FOR THE £1000 ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

SINGLE TABLE SATS DURING FESTIVAL DAYS

cheers

Details for the super sat please Dik

Do you think it will be okay to pay on the day for these events or are exprected numbers high?

Super satellite starts at 9.20 Sunday night. £50 NLHE rebuys and top up for seats into the £1000 event on saturday. Last chance super sat. Same format as usual..90 min rebuys.  Single table sats available all week to start when filled up.

The £100 event is selling quite quickly, there has been a burst in the last 2 days nearly half full. I expect it to be filled up before Wednesday. 26 have booked up for the £300 so far.

Do you have to be a member to play?

I sent off my form today. Will I be able to come down and pay my entry fee tonight?

You don't have to be a member to play, you can be a guest. But if you wish to enter the premises you need to wait 24 hours after we recieve it unless someone can sign you in. Will PM you.

Did you get in?

Snoopy, what did you think to the place?

Does anyone know if the weds £100 is full yet? DIK9?

Will i be ok to come down on weds?

Very nice. Much bigger than most the casinos in England.

2 Questions: What makes the car-park the 2nd most secure in England and who is 1st?

Looking forward to playing on Wednesday.

 :)

that car park thing got me thinking, the only real way they can judge it is by crimes reported per annum, seeing as it's only been there for a very short time it's a bit dodgy methinks.
I've never even seen any security in there, maybe they judge it by the amount of ctv cameras?

72 state of the art cameras and full 24 hour security. I went in the control room when we first opened and was absolutely amazed. They have only had 1 attempted break in/ act of vandalism since it opened 2 years ago and they were caught in the act. When you drive out of the car park there is another small control room, just have a peep in it. God I sound like a train spotter!. The safest car park apparently is in Derby.

ACE2MOUTH not full yet but will be full before Weds me thinks.

best park in Derby and get a taxi then!

Wow! Forget Broadway, I'm off to Derby!

BOO HOO I wish I hadn't said anything now! :(

Bump  ;D RANKING EVENT NOW!!
