I would like to play poker at Dusk Til Dawn because I feel it will be run very well and the management will take into consideration the needs of all the players, from the people who play poker as a hobby and want to learn and have fun to the more established players who want to play games in a safe environment and know that their money is secure.

Iwould like to play poker at dust till dawn as it going to be the first of its kind in the uk, and is very much overdue.
 I am of the same view of many others that any casino is really only interested in getting you sat at a blackjack, or roullette table where the chance of coming away with any winnings are slim to poor.

I would like to play at Dusk Till Dawn because there is currently no similar facility in the country. I also enjoy being able to play poker in a venue where the establishment is not trying to lure you into table games and where there is a definate feel of community.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because I love playing poker, but have no interest in playing roulette, blackjack or slot machines. With the massive boom in poker playing, sparked by televised tournaments and the ability to play online, I feel there would now be a big demand for a poker-only club, to which keen players would be prepared to travel from across the Midlands, and even the UK. A "poker only" club was closed down in London because the authorities ruled poker was a game of chance, like roulette, and therefore had to have a gaming licence. There was a big demand to play poker at that club - why not at Dusk Till Dawn, which is going about it the right way by applying for a gaming licence?

I would like to play poker at Dusk til Dawn because it will be run by poker players for poker players of all levels from novices to experienced pros in a safe environment.

The club itself has huge potential to generate revenue for the surrounding local economy. I would be willing to travel at least twice a year to a dedicated poker facility such as DTD utilising the local transport system from East Midlands airport to local taxis as well staying in local hotels. I would not go to such expense to frequent other local establishments ie casinos, as I have plenty to choose from in Glasgow. I & many others would essentially be new money to the local economy.

I would like to play at dusk till dawn for a number of reasons. 1, I am fairly new to the game and the beginner nights there will be alot more beginner friendly than the casino's, which i found to be taken as serious as bigger games and this made me feel a little uncomfortable overall. 2, As Dusk Till Dawn will be a dedicated poker club i feel people would be able to control their finances more easliy than at a casino as there will be no side games that grab your attention, and poker tournaments have set buy in amounts which allows you to put a set amount of money aside for the night, And finally poker is a great game in which i have made many friends and i think that opening a poker club for people who want to play poker at all levels from all differant walks of life can only be a good thing. Who knows, end world violence. Please back dtd they have worked so hard to bring this to us.

I would like Dusk till Dawn to be granted a licence as it would create jobs, regenerate the area and offer a different alternative to casinos for customers with in the poker community.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because.................................................

speaking on behalf of myself, as a poker player, and on behalf of over 500 members who have played this season at the Private Members' Club I help run (The Nutz Card Club, Harrogate), it is very important for poker, and other card games of skill, to be separated from the casino environment. I know that personally I am not happy having to go to casinos to play either minor or major tournaments. I also know this to be true for a large proportion of the players we look after, many of whom have specifically expressed they do not want to play in casinos.

I believe Dusk Til Dawn's application should be granted for many reasons, among which;
- to help protect, nurture and develop British players,
- to provide a dedicated environment for card games of skill, and
- to provide the UK with a flagship venue in a rapidly developing global activity.

I believe the precedence this would set should also allow for a number of similar venues to exist around the country, thereby minimising travel with its associated environmental ill effects, providing a countrywide spread of employment opportunities, and providing reasonable access to this entertainment service industry for the whole UK population.

I'm looking forward to playing at DTD because as a poker player I want to ply my trade in the best possible surroundings, run by poker players for poker players. I have no interest in slots or table games and don't understand why poker players are currently forced to put up with them any more than a golfer shoud have to walk past them on the way to the first tee as he heads off to work. I have no interest in coming to Nottingham to play in any of the casinos objecting to this license, I never have and never will, but I will be coming to play at DTD regulary if and when it opens. The people behind this venture are good honest hard working people bringing employment and world class facilities to a place many of us have never and will never go to if DTD are unsuccessful.

I am looking forward to playing at Dusk till Dawn as much for the concept of a club FOR players not just for the casino's owners.

I am extremely sceptical of a group of casino's who have not even bothered to provide services in Nottingham to object on the grounds of not enough support for the project. How would they know?

Even though I live in Europe at present, I intend on being a regular visitor when the club is up and running and am confident that Dusk till Dawn will be the most successful Poker Club in Europe in the near future.

Good Luck to Rob and all those that have worked so hard to get things to this stage.

I  would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because.................................................

I have followed Mr Yongs experience of setting this project up from scratch and his enthusism and firm belief in his goal is something only a few of us can ever hope to achieve.

He loves poker and HE went out of his way to build a club that poker players all over the world are watching and hoping will open.

This club in my opinion will attract players from all corners of the earth and must be good for Nottingham in terms of employment and the income it will bring in terms of hotels, food outlets and taxi fares for example would be huge.

It should at the end of the day be about freedom of choice.

Why would a poker player pay for economy when he/she can have 1st class for the same price?

The Casinos are trying to bully Mr Yong out of the market and I hope they wont get away with it.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn, mainly because i feel it is catering purely for the poker player, and not for the gambling players. Poker is a game of Skill more so than Luck.

The Dusk Till Dawn company are trying desperately to acheive a goal here, of bringing one of the biggest games/sports to Britain on a huge scale, ridding britian of the false poker economy which sadly occupies the Casino's of the country at present.

Please let them achieve their goals......for the goals are shared by all of us!

I would like to play at Dusk till Dawn because it will cater exclusively for poker players. This is better than a traditional casino environment because:

- The management, dealers and other employees will have a greater understanding of the game of poker, which is frequently neglected by the established casino conglomerates.

- Greater understanding and supervision of poker will ensure fairness and integrity of the game.

- Unbeatable casino side-games won't be present so I won't be tempted to lose the money I have won at the predominantly skill based game of poker.

Plus it will exciting to play poker in a world class venue, which is very rare in Europe, let alone the UK.
