Rake Reduction

The cap on the rake in the £1-£2 cash games at the Vic has been reduced from £15 to £10. This will take effect from 12pm on Monday 1st February. The decision to reduced the cap was taken after the first of the new customer forums, which took place recently. Further customer forums will be held every few weeks, enabling players to discuss issues relating to the poker room with members of the management team.

Omaha Cash Games

The £5-£10 Omaha cash game was a regular fixture at the Vic last year, but since October 2009 it has been less frequent. From Monday 8th February, a table will be reserved for this game to start from 7pm, Monday-Friday.
