\nI am teaching in the UK and taking a rest break near here. Alas, the one casino here that had dice has closed.<\/p>\n

\tOh well, the Paris has a very nice restaurant with excellent food.<\/p>\n

\tOff to London tomorrow. Supposedly two of the casinos there have dice. I will let you know.<\/p>\n

Yes. None of the Glasgow casinos had dice so I actually caught up on some sleep. <\/p>\n

\tOh,those lay flat seats are not quite flat. Slight angle footward but it is quite a bit better than coach. That was courtesy of a private lesson with Dom, much practice and a couple of delayed flights out of Chicago :))<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We were in London on a convention many years ago–long before we were in GTC dice control–and only found 1 spot that had a dice table. Only had single odds. Think the name was the Victoria casino. <\/p>\n

\tBack then you had to go by any casino of your choice, show your passport, leave and come back in 24 hours (or some such period of time) before you could actually play. <\/p>\n

\tthings have probably changed since we were there. Look forward to hearing what you have to say.<\/p>\n

JJ,
\n\tIf you are anywhere near it, you might want to try the Hippodrome. You can check their web site. I don’t know what Craps table hours are. I think payoff on some bets are a little different than ours—maybe better. No, I have not played there but have heard information about it from some London players. Don’t know if this will help, but hope so. Enjoy yourself and be sure to report back to us! \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes grip, Hippodrome and Aspers advertise dice. You can bet I will call ahead this time.<\/p>\n

\tDriving 90+ minutes just for good meal is not my idea of fun stuff.<\/p>\n

\tI will let you know.<\/p>\n

\tDr. C, No longer a 24 hour rule as far as I know. They took my id, issued me a card and wished me luck.<\/p>\n

\tSheesh midnight here and still looking for a game. Where is Nathan Detroit when you need him? <\/p>\n

\tI know, I know. Flanagan has turned on the heat and all that…<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I played at the Grosvenor Victoria (aka the Vic) last November. I know other friends who like the Hippodrome, but the tables were not open when I could play. Think they open at 6pm.
\n\tGood luck.<\/p>\n

Did Grosvenor have craps?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes the Grosvenor Victoria did have craps. Table opened at 2 pm. It was bouncy, but playable.<\/p>\n
