French Live Poker Haunt Closes Doors ForeverPoker Room Cercle Gaillon Is Latest Victim Of Economy And Gambling Regulations In France |
|
Cercle Gaillon, a poker room located near the Champs-Elysées in Paris, France has shut its doors for good.
Citing both the state of the economy and regulations for such clubs in France, the club had one last attempt at survival in recent times to no avail.
A (translated) message on the site reads:
“The facility has been hit hard by the economic downturn coupled with unfavorable regulatory environment for gambling clubs in France, resulting from the June 7, 2012 insolvency proceedings handed down by the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris.
“The insolvency proceedings opened with an observational period of four months which allowed Cercle Gaillon, [an organisation that promises] impeccable service, a reboot of the activity, including traditional games, but the summer holiday period has decided otherwise.”
The club, which was created in 1933, has played host to many events over the years from poker to blackjack championships. In its goodbye its team thanks the players who have been loyal to and supportive of the poker room for many years.
