The European Amateur Championship will be held at the G Casino in Coventry on 27th & 28th November 2010

Casino Address:

Ricoh Arena, Phoenix Way
Foleshill, Coventry
CV6 6GE


Hope to come down to Coventry, could you tell me if this casino is a part of any group. My wife is coming down with me, and she has no passport or driving license. What documents would she need to be able to go in to the casino, or can i sign her in as a guest?
cheers

Firstly, the Specialist Game will be Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo and not Lowball

You will certainly be able to turn up on Sunday to play the Specialist Tourney but seats will go on sale AT THE VENUE ONLY on Saturday afternoon and I expect it to fill up quickly.

The G Casino is part of the Grosvenor group. I don"t think you can sign in a guest...but I could be wrong.

Their website says

*Valid forms of ID are photo Driving Licence, Passport or Debit or Credit card.  If you bring along a Debit or Credit card we must be able to validate the address to which the cards are registered.  We can do this electronically or by a supporting document, e.g., Utility bill.


She can always pre-register via their website but I think they still need to confirm the details (as above) on arrival.

I"ve just booked a room at the Ricoh. Was showing as none available online for Sat 27th Nov, but they had 3 rooms left when I telephoned. Now down to 2!

Booked into the Brittannia so it will be the usual, checkin/dump bag at 2pm and mad dash to casino to hopefully get there before the first hand  ::)

Suzanne, you should do what I usually do on such occasions and take your bag to the casino leave it at the desk, and just check in whenever you get to the hotel later that night.  It  is better than the mad dash

A couple of points that may help if you have not been there before and are going by car.

Obv follow signs for Ricoh Stadium. When you get close it"s still on the "Brown" sign posts as "Isle of Capri Casino". (That"s what it was called before G Casino took it over)

You should head towards Car Park A though the casino has it"s own small car park on the right as you drive in.

Take a ticket on the way into the car park (It says you have to pay) but the casino validates it for you on your way out.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
