Casino Canberra Review

Review

Located in the beautiful Glebe Park, on the eastern side of Canberra’s busting commercial district, Casino Canberra offers a quiet and exclusive place to play in the heart of the city. This casino is modest in size and provides an experience which focuses on the game more than the glitz. Tournament players will find a place here to flex their muscles, while new players will find a welcoming environment without distractions.

The primary place to stay for visitors to Casino Canberra is the beautiful Crowne Plaza Canberra, located beside the casino. This hotel is a large and modern building with the suite of services you’d expect, such as a gym and pool. They offer special rates to casino-goers on request. For fine dining, try the casino’s brand new menu in the Natural 9 restaurant. This brand new restaurant is led by award winning chef Chad Ogden focuses on the best fresh ingredients from local farms and markets. You’ll find the menu online at http://www.casinocanberra.com.au/natural_nine.

Poker at the Casino Canberra is aimed both at new players and veterans, but caters more to the latter with some serious tournaments. Tournaments are held every Monday, Thursday and Saturday. For example, Mondays currently have the Bounty Poker Tournament, with an AU$45 buy-in. Saturday Poker 60 is a Texas Hold’Em evening with an AU$60 buy-in and no limit bets. Wednesdays also now feature Sit and Go poker; tournaments on demand to keep the action flowing.

This casino features 39 gaming tables for blackjack, roulette and baccarat among other games, plus a sports lounge with TAB betting on hand. However, it does not feature poker machines. Poker and table gaming fans may find this a welcome change, removing distractions and making for a cosier environment suited to tense tournament play.

For an enhanced experience, consider the Senator’s Club. This rewards your play with various special offers which can be purchased with reward points. Senator Club members can spend points on special secure parking at the adjacent National Convention Centre for extra peace of mind. They can also be used to redeem complimentary dining at the Natural 9 restaurant and complimentary hotel accommodation. Lastly, Senator’s Club members can use points for free play, tournament entry and VIP gifts. Find out more on the website at http://www.casinocanberra.com.au/.
