The gaming floor features 39 tables with classic games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Pai Gow, Sic Bo, and Pontoon. Poker fans can enjoy regular tournaments with buy-ins starting at $115 and prize pools reaching up to $6,000. One of Casino Canberra’s unique aspects is the absence of poker machines, creating a more relaxed environment focused on traditional table games. For those who appreciate modern technology, Stadium Gaming offers electronic versions of popular games with live dealers. The Casino Canberra is unique as it is Australia’s only land based casino not yet licensed to offer the pokies. When the casino opened in the early 1990s, it was licensed under the strict condition it was not allowed to offer poker machines, leaving the pubs and clubs of the ACT to hold a strict monopoly over the pokies.
