Gutshot Poker Club is a poker club, bar, restaurant and internet cafe located on Clerkenwell Road, London, England, which made headlines when on 16 January 2007, the owner of the club Derek Kelly was convicted of contravening the Gaming Act. The jury in the case rejected Derek Kelly's contention that poker was a game of skill, and thus exempt from the Gaming Act. Kelly appealed this verdict at the Royal Court of Appeal in London but failed.
