First night at the tables?

Unwritten rules, written down

Nothing formal — just the stuff that makes your first evening at the tables feel comfortable instead of confusing.

Dress code is real

Smart casual gets you anywhere in Aussie resort hotels. Thongs and boardies stay by the pool.

Decide your number first

Pick a fun-money figure before you walk in. When it's gone, you're done — that's the whole trick.

Dealers will help you

Never played a hand? Say so. Floor staff genuinely enjoy teaching — it's part of the show.

18+ Adults only

Casino floors and all gaming areas across our partner properties are restricted to guests aged 18 and over. Valid photo ID is checked at entry to gaming areas and at check-in — no exceptions, and honestly, no hard feelings either.

Playing responsibly

  • Set a spend and time limit before you start — then hold yourself to it.
  • Play for the entertainment, never as a way to make money or chase a loss.
  • Skip the tables when you're tired, stressed or a few drinks in.
  • Take regular breaks — the buffet and the view are also excellent.
  • Every partner property runs free self-exclusion and on-site support programs.

Help is one call away

Warning — gambling carries real risk

Weekend reports

Weekend escapes our travellers rated

"Harbour suite, dinner at 7, a couple of hours on the tables, home by midnight. Joymira's package made a normal Saturday feel like a Bond film."

"Took my mum for her 60th — spa day, show, a flutter on the roulette table. She's already asked me to book the same resort hotel for next year."

"Bucks weekend for eight lads — rooms sorted, tables booked, and the driver at 2am was worth every cent. Flawless from landing to takeoff."

Before you book

Stay questions, straight answers

The honest version of what people ask us before booking a resort stay.

Not a gambler? Half our resort guests never touch a table — they come for the food, pools and shows.

Not at all. The restaurants, pools, spas and shows stand on their own — gaming is one amenity among many, and plenty of guests skip it entirely.

Hotel areas welcome families at most properties, but gaming floors are strictly 18+ and ID-checked. For family trips we usually suggest our regular tour packages instead.

Partner rates, confirmed room types, dinner reservations, transfers and one point of contact. Same property — just every detail handled before you arrive.

Yes — tournaments, gala nights and members' evenings run year-round. Check the events calendar and we'll package entry with your stay.
