PNH Review: Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club

Paul Sandells
Tuesday 1st June 2010

dusk-til-dawn The first, fully licensed, poker club in the UK has been open for several years now. Dusk Till Dawn, situated on an retail park near Nottingham, offers British poker players a dedicated poker experience which is void of the usual casino table game trappings.

From the outside the club is an impressive sight. As big as, or bigger than, most of the UK’s casinos. Inside, beyond the small reception area, sits an impressive number of poker tables set over three “layers”.

The club has recently introduced some slots machines and electronic roulette machines, due to highly publicised financial difficulties. They don’t detract from the main reason you’re at DTD, though. Poker!
