    If you have any experience in the industry, Id suggest finding a location that is lacking a casino, then approaching one of the extablished names, gala, grovenor etc, presenting what u have to them and go into it with them. I don't think opening up independant without being an expert is a great idea tbh

    I understand what you are syaing and it is very valid but the people who made gala werent experts and even if they were at the time of opening they had to learn somehow and it wouldnt have been from going into other casinos, so i think my plan isnt impossible, by me are two medium sized casinos neither are gala etc. But bring in lots and lots of money.

    Well, how much are you willing to invest in it? I'm guessing it's a lot more expensive then you probably think it is.

    Lol it is more expensive even for a small one, i forgot about the extensive security, as itll be new itll attract cheats so i cant skimp on that and things such as license, and the digital tables are $30k each! Cheaper than a dealer for a year i suppose though, and resellable.

    Contacting your local gambling board about obtaining a license first and think about it afterward. Not to put you down, but it is very difficult doing so. I have inquiry about starting a card room a few years ago, and they said its not available till another 10 years are so... Its not easy

    Liscensing is such a big factor Dan, Very Expensive.

    Yes, do try the UK biz forums if you haven't already done so.

    I thought about that, i just have a love of computers so i loved the idea of digital tables, however i really dislike internet casinos, in my opinion it spoils the whole experience, so i think ill never make an internet one.

    You are going to lose a lot of customers if you go digital tables. I would never go to a casino to play a digital table. It's a lot more classy to play at a live table. Might want to keep that in mind.

    No i understand that so i'd have both, i prefer live but internet casino players mgiht prfer digital so it brings them in too, itll also attract a younger audience.
