Crown casino and hotel:


You need membership to get in the casino:


Casino is on 3rd floor but you have to get free membership on 2nd floor first. (Go right, 1st door which is Vip membership lounge, need passport)


Edit:
Table games only! They opened recently and don't have a slot license yet.

1/2 the room is baccarat tables.
8 roulette
10 e-Games terminals (baccarat, roulette, sic bo)
Bj (no idea rules because nothing printed on table)
Mississippi stud
Uth: 8/7/4 trips

Star casino:
From the above Crown casino, you can take a short walk to the harbor and take the ferry over



Or you can walk to near the end of the harbor and walk across the elevated pedestrian bridge (free).
From the ferry location, walking across the bridge to Star casino is about 1 mile.

Star casino entrance (Take escalator to 2nd FL):

Huge casino:


Everything looks new and lots of space for people to walk.
About 50/50 slot floor space to e-Games/tables space. :o

Lots and lots of bacarat and roulette tables
Bj is 3:2, stand 17
Uth is 8/7/4 trips
Craps is 2x odds, field 12 is only double. There's also a 6/8 at the corner of the table that I assume only pays 1:1. (AHigh would be rolling his eyes at this.)

Don't recall the min bet for craps.
I only saw 1 craps table and 2 e-Craps machines but i wasn't looking hard for them.
I was there on a weekday morning. the craps table was closed but so were MANY of the table games.

The casino was opened in August, 2022 but has since cut 275 jobs due to lack of business. They are currently operating on a conditional gaming licence due to past bad behaviour. For overseas guests there should be no delay in accessing the gaming floor but locals need to wait 24 hours for clearance unless they fail the probity checks. There are no slot machines and the place was set up as a VIP only casino to cater to mainly asian high rollers and to compete directly with The Star which is located nearby.

Crown Results also has properties in Melbourne, Victoria and Perth, Western Australia. The business is now owned by Blackstone, a US private equity firm.
