We have been spending a little bit of time in London this weekend, and we got an opportunity to visit two of the London casinos last night after a very nice pub dinner in Hampstead. In Part 1 of this series, we are going to talk about our observations about the casinos in the UK, because they’re not as bad as everybody thinks! They are certainly different, but they actually have some very nice elements to them. So stay tuned as we go over our experiences at the Hippodrome and Empire Casino and the major differences we observed.
