If DTD is forced to close/sell up it will be a HUGE blow for UK poker, Id urge as many of you as possible to pay a visit there asap if you havent been already.

I should imagine that every table in there would have to be full to cover the cost of the tax recently imposed. That is the main problem for Yong, he was forced to take a Casino licence to ensure DTD was legal, now he's being screwed to the wall for it.

He should have said he was an immigrant or an MP, he would have been fine then

Well said. Of course even if every table was full, half off it goes straight to the tax man. Really hard spot casinos are in, I hope the government realise this can and will cost hundreds of jobs
