Gambling is most definitely fashionable
“It used to be just horse racing, but now poker is exploding too,” says Ian Mills, owner of High Stakes gambling bookshop in London. “Poker has taken over from bridge. It’s young and hip, and people want to play.” If you want personalised poker chips, go to the online Las Vegas Gamblers General Store (www.gamblersgeneralstore.com). In fact, you’ll find everything there to set up your own casino. If you fancy conjuring up the exclusive white tuxedo glamour of James Bond and smoky, edgy, after-dark dens at home, here’s everything you need. Apart from the green visor.
