Hi all,

I'll be visiting Australia from Aug 13 to Sep 1, is there anything that anyone would like me to investigate, casino wise in Sydney?

I'm hearing they have a new casino in the CBD, the Barangaroo, which is a Crown Casino. Will be checking that out with friends.

My big task... now that Aristocrat has entered the bartop market is to see whether there might be some video poker re-entering the Australian market.

Is the commission on buy/lay bets there collected on win only (for all numbers)? Are 3-4-5 odds the standard?

I was last in Sydney just before covid started. There were lots of AP-able slots I was unfamiliar with but which could be figured out quite quickly. I recall them having a handful of tables for carnival games which weren't open at the time of day I was in there, would be interesting to know what they have now if you see any of them open.

Have fun!

From what I have read, it's "strictly VIPs," and you need to "be a VIP member or guest of one" in order to get in.

I can't find any information on the Crown casino, but the nearby Star City casino is limited to double odds on craps, and buy bets are 5% on the bet, but lay bets are 5% on the win. I'm not sure if this is a NSW requirement or not.

When you say in Australia, which part please if you dont mind. I am interested in Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast. Maybe you have other opinion. Thanks again.

I will be spending time in Sydney and Merimbula. Merimbula is a coastal city about 2 hours southeast of Canberra. I have friends that live there and I am going for their wedding.

Please don’t respond to me in this thread…. As that is a hijack of the thread. As examples look at the thread on Cashman Bingo, or Golden Egypt, as two examples.

The last time I was in Sydney I think I saw three video poker machines between the two casinos I went to. I didn't see any at the local clubs.

BTW, I think Aristocrat is making their bartop poker machines in Las Vegas and not Australia.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Last time I went (2016 I think) there was none at the Star in Sydney.

I did not know that Aristrocrat was making their bartops in LV. Interesting!

If you post the same question in enough threads I think it happens automatically.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Nuts to that.
As an aussie, I would suggest the perfect souvenir to take back to the states would be a picture of you holding a bin chicken whilst playing Queen Of The Nile.

(Bin Chicken - Ibis bird).

Australia allows birds in a casino? :)
Can only imagine rsactuary holding the bird in 1 hand while playing this game in another.

It's a bit of an obscure reference - but check this video out for context.. https://vimeo.com/229995311
(warning, video contains language! - sorry, no censored version found).

For some reason I had thought an ibis beak type symbol featured in the game itself, but that hasn't proven accurate.
