The Star Brisbane Casino and Beyond - What to Know Before You Play

The Star Brisbane Casino and Beyond

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.

What's on the Gaming Floor at Queen's Wharf

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.

Table Games and Poker

The Star Brisbane casino runs 92 tables and poker games, including 11 dedicated poker tables.

• Blackjack: multiple rule variants available across different table limits
• Roulette: European and American versions, both in play
• Baccarat: available across standard and private room settings
• Craps: standard layout, available on the main floor
• Sic Bo: dice game, popular with the Asian gaming demographic
• Poker cash games: running daily from midday
• Weekly poker tournaments: schedule posted at the poker room

Electronic Gaming Machines

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.

• Golden Dollars: one of the active jackpot links on the floor
• Lightning Link: high-frequency jackpot system, consistently busy
• Players Choice: broader jackpot network across multiple machine types
• Rapid Fire Zone: dedicated section with higher-tempo electronic gaming
• Mahjong: available for players who prefer traditional tile-based formats

Private Gaming Rooms

Access to private rooms runs through the Star Club loyalty program.

• Oasis: open to Gold members and above. Full dining menu from an in-room chef, dedicated bar
• Sovereign: Platinum, Diamond and Invited Members only. Private dining with river views, curated wine selection, Queensland-focused menu

Land-Based vs Online

Before You Go

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.
