Brisbane currently operates two distinct formats: a physical gaming floor within the Queen's Wharf precinct and a licensed online platform. This page covers both: what's on each floor, how the games compare, and what to expect before you sit down.
Treasury Casino Brisbane closed on 29 August 2024 and relocated its gaming operations to the new Queen's Wharf site. The Treasury building now operates as a hotel only.
The casino operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Queen's Wharf precinct. The floor runs a mix of electronic machines and live table games, with private rooms for higher-tier members. The layout is deliberately different from a traditional casino - natural light, open balconies and glazed walls replace the sealed, windowless format most players are used to.
The Star Brisbane casino runs 92 tables and poker games, including 11 dedicated poker tables.
The Star Casino Brisbane holds up to 2,500 electronic gaming machines under its licence. At opening, 1,600 machines were installed across the floor.
Access to private rooms runs through the Star Club loyalty program.
All about the rewards and online bonuses
The online platform operates under a Malta Gaming Authority licence (MGA/B2C/394/2017), with a catalogue of over 6,000 games and a focus on the Australian market. It runs across desktop and mobile with no app download required for browser play.
The platform organises its library by mechanic and format.
Brisbane Casino online runs professional live streams across a full range of formats.
Demo mode is not available in the live section. An active account with a deposit is required to join any live table.

On the Queen's Wharf floor, the Rapid Fire Zone gets crowded after 9pm on weekends. If you want to use those machines without waiting, go between 2pm and 6pm. For the poker room, midday cash games are looser and lower-stakes than evening sessions.
