YOU COULDN'T,T MAKE IT UP (its not a bad beat story but it didn,t end well for me)
Finished work early today so decided to go late to Genting Casino Newcastle for their Wednesday afternoon game. Still in uniform (fire service for those that don,t know) the only thing I had in the car to cover it was a hoody which had the Asper casino logo on. Played for 5 hours made the final table and the money.but during the break in the toilets bumped into the manager (Nigel I think his name is) he said you shouldn,t really be wearing that in here !! I politely explained that I wasnt a member of aspers staff, showed him the uniform beneath explained the reason why i was wearing it (I,m not supposed to enter licensed premises in uniform) went back to rejoin the tournament to be approached by a member of staff who informed me I had to leave the casino. I asked why and he said it was because of the logo on my top. I said politely" I,m on the final table of the tournament, if its that much of a problem I,ll take the top off" to which he replied "sorry NO we,ll refund you entry fee and you have to leave NOW" even when a member of staff appealed on my behalf "surely if he takes the top off he can stay" NO was the reply ....So thanks Genting Casino Newcastle ....over 10 year a member and a regular customer and this is how they treat you. pulled from the final table (60 plus runner slight brag) and marched off the premises. (feel free to re post on other sites)

Find this very difficult to believe.

Jeff Kimber and Joe Beevers are sponsored Grosvenor pros and have no problems wearing their patches in Genting casinos.

Why would Genting be so worried about Aspers?

And even if they did, why didn't they just give something to cover up the logo?

Yes Keith everything you are saying is what is being asked and said and I also know the Casino Manager who seems to have simply totally over reacted. Big thread going on at present on Geordie Poker Facebook page and have requested a response from Genting management on the matter regarding if story from Paul is accurate and requesting their side of the story. Be interesting to see if they respond. Alot of local players amazed and very annoyed at what has happened

i think aryan may be the one that caused this

for once he wasnt !!! ;D

Think this Paul Thompson may have been telling everyone to play at aspers

been busy today...

While I beleive he was asked to leave, it is much more likely that something like this...


was the reason, than simply wearing a branded hoodie.

I was joking lol
Paul Thompson wouldn't have been doing that
More than likely the moron of a manager overreacting and not understanding

Genting newcastle is a law unto itself and you should disregard anything you know about genting elsewhere.

 Paul was asked to leave the casino by one of our managers as the clothing he was wearing was advertising one of our competitors (A massive Aspers Casino logo on the back of the hoody).
We are asked not to wear anything Genting related when we enter another casino.

All dem sponsored pros ain't allowed in Newcastle genting anymore
