The Mayfair Casino School
Read or listen to lessons in roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker and the game-show floor, all narrated by 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 lessons for grown-ups, in writing or narrated by Annabel. 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.

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.
A 15-minute editorial study of London's licensed casino floors. Etiquette, dealer dynamics, dress codes, VIP rooms and the actual house edges by game. Field notes and public licensing data. Read online or download the PDF.
Read the report →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.
