To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because, they are going to offer true poker players the chance to play poker in best environment available.  I feel a 2nd class citizen when going to a casino, the table games & slot machines make the most money for casinos so as poker players we are pushed into the corner & forgot about.

I am a manager in the NHS, I have a degree in computer science, I have a family, I don't gamble on the horses, dogs, blackjack, roulette or the slot machines, but I do play poker as I have input into the game.

Poker players have moved on so much in the last 20 years, no longer is poker played by gangsters or cowboys – it’s a game of mathematics, reading non-verbal communication, mental power is used, it’s a game full of interesting characters from all walks of life. 

What I am asking as a law abiding person, please let me select where I will play poker.  I can make that choice myself, I don’t need the massive money making casino’s telling me that I shouldn’t play poker at Dusk Till Dawn, when all I want as a poker player is the freedom to play where I want.  I understand this is called democracy, so as Magistrates of the court please demonstrate democracy at work and allow Dusk Till Dawn the right to open. 

Thank you
