The Mayfair Casino School
Written lessons in roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker and the game-show floor, from Annabel Cavendish, our editor. Insider numbers, named-venue specifics, and the maths your friend at the bar wishes she knew. Free. No email. Your name on the certificate when you finish.
The Syllabus
Short written lessons for grown-ups. Every claim has its working shown. A quick check at the end of each lesson banks your progress; a certificate prints with your name when you finish a course; the diploma lands when you have done all five.
From La Partage in Monte Carlo to Lightning's lucky-number maths, and why your friend's Martingale is a tax on optimism.
Basic strategy line by line, the Hi-Lo count, why online counting died and where it didn't, and the side bets that exist to punish you.
Punto Banco in plain English, the third-card rules, the Phil Ivey edge-sorting case, and the high-stakes London rooms still running it.
Three Card, Caribbean Stud, Ultimate Texas Hold'em. The decision tables, the side-bet traps, no fluff.
Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, Lightning, Funky Time. How the multiplier wheels actually price, and which bonus rounds are pure spectacle.
The Diploma
Every course earns its own certificate. The Mayfair Casino School diploma arrives when you have collected the set, signed by Annabel, dated, your name in foil. Print it, frame it, send it to the friend who keeps recommending the Martingale.
Course done and curious? We keep a short, opinionated list of UK-licensed casinos we think are well run. Honest notes, no top-of-page banners, no upsell on the lesson pages. Read it after the course, not before.
