There is only one major casino in Melbourne that has a monopoly over the gambling in the city – The Crown Casino. It has lots of table games on offer such as Craps, Baccarat, Blackjack, Pai Gow and Roulette. There are also some variations of these games to keep the excitement levels high such as Crown Pontoon, the Rapid version Baccarat and the Vegas Star variant of Roulette.
Poker is also played here in a myriad of forms, from the traditional game to styles such as Caribbean Stud and Mississippi Stud, as well as the more popular Poker War, three-card and Texas Hold’em. This casino also hosts events in poker such as the World Series and the popular Aussie Millions.
Whilst there is less choice of pokies in land-based casinos than those found in online casinos offering a variety of online pokies in Australia, you can still enjoy over 3500 machines within the casino – a huge amount to ensure you’ll never get bored. What’s more, there are some of the many names found in online pokies such as WMS Gaming and IGT, with bets costing as little as one cent.
There’s always something to do in this casino, and if you tire of a day rolling the dice or playing cards then you can relax in the games arcade, bowling alley or even the large ballroom with decorated ceiling. There are also six eateries within the Crown complex including the world-renowned Nobu and British chef Heston Blumenthal. Shopping in the area includes the likes of Burberry and Louis Vuitton.
After a day of gaming, choose from three different hotels, many with luxury accommodation and views over the river. The Metropol is the biggest hotel in the whole of Victoria, with over 650 rooms to choose from across 28 floors.
