The Cincinatti website is currently under development. Thursdays start time will be 8:30pm as per usual. The phone number is 0141 418 2399 if you want to call to check, you can also pre-book your seat and pay when you arrive.

The problem is not just that Rod, its when its been operating for an hour or so and the table has accumulated a lot of chips. With the half hour announcement before leaving rule, you end up with £20 buy in just not being enough when 2 or 3 people have over a ton.

[mikkyT]

Mikky I hear what you are saying, but I will say that I came back from £300 in the hole to £670 and that was from a £20 buy in at the cash game there was a few grand on the table that night too, The cash game is very different from tourney play as you really are playing the man and not the cards too much, there is so much stealing going on in the cash game that you cang snooker a bugger when they are stealing, mind you it heps to get some fish on the table, monday night was a tough table.

Mikky, Rod,

I was under the impression that the Thursday game was a 21:00 start, am I wrong or has it changed. It usually doesn't get going until around 21:10 or so if I remember correctly...

Definitely think there needs to be more structure in terms of tournaments and what's on each night, I had a couple of mates who headed down for the first time Wednesday night, signed in and walked in only to find just Sid and one other staff member there! They promptly had to leave again...

[Scottish Dave]

yeah the same game is on tonight

just to back you up mate, Takeshi's castle is one of the best programmes on TV!

"If your ring gets penetrated, your out the game"....Craig Charles you are the Man!

[thetank]

I watched about 100 of them. Always at the end you'd hear Craig say something along the lines of, "no winners this time on Takeshi's, surely we'll have one next time"

I kept watching the show to see what would happen, what majestical fanfare, what mad celebrations would occur when someone finally managed to elude the Emerald guards and storm the castle. What grand, out of this world, prize beyond imagination would be given to the winner.

Finally, someone did win, and all that was seen was a smiling Japanese bloke and Mr Charles saying "We have a winner this time on Takeshi's" before the credits rolled.

No fireworks, no scantily clad woman, no screaming masses or elaborate prize presentation of any kind. Never even found out what it was the bloke won for achieving the impossible. I was a little dissapointed but had to smile at the dry wit of it all being such a non-event. I'm sure it was intended that way and I continue to be a big fan of the show.
