If you like the coffee you get in bookies you should do a run round of casinos near you where you not only get hot drinks given to you for free but also sandwiches (at least in Leeds!)

Ladbrokes used to do an amazing cappuccino sachet, but now it's a chemical all-in-one mix (saves my electric though lol).
I've not got any nearby casinos, I think Southampton might be closest or Reading :). Free sarnies? I must visit Leeds sometime.

3 months until the free Monster Munch and custard creams on Grand National Day. Saturday 6th April 2019. DIARISED!

They use separate paper plates:). I put requests in for my fave biccies. Maybe I could tweet them? #jammydodgers could be an idea.

Cheltenham is mostly midweek, so snacks are in short supply. Lukewarm cuppa is the most EV+ selection.

Sorry to go a little off topic. I've never been to a bricks and mortar Casino before. Do they ever have any incentives for signing up and becoming a member?

Most should be free to enter. It used to be that you had to apply for membership, often being recommended. and it would take some time for your application to be accepted.

Now I think you can just walk in, not sure if you still need to show ID.

The ones near me when I didn't live in London were fairly enjoyable places. Not 'James Bond' but 'upmarket bingo'. They did some good food/drink deals (2 Sirloin steak dinners, with wine, on a friday night for £20).

It has been AGES since I was last in one, my closest one now is the Hippodrome at Leicester Square but I've not yet been there - I keep meaning to.

Leeds has a sort of 24/7 SuperCasino now in the middle of Town. It's extremely plush!!

Like @The Reverend says they all seem to be luring you in with very decent food now instead of 'pub grub'

I like the fact their membership card is called the 'V Card'!

"Hey, going to the casino? Don't forget your V Card!"
'Cheers for the reminder....Want to make sure that beauty stays intacts'
"I mean, the membership card for Victoriagate Casino. What are you talking about?"
'Well, this is awkward....'

That's far too much conversation for the amount of drink it would take for you to be in the place!!

The Hippodrome is hosting Magic Mike XXL Live for the next year so even less of a draw for me to go visit it! :D

I just tweeted the above and in my mind, #nospenddays etc. seem a pretty dangerous 'tactic' to promote to people who maybe already vulnerable if it creates a sense of defeat for them.
