Australia Casinos

With approximately 20 casinos spread across the country, Australia may not have the biggest casino industry, but it is slowly growing. Horse tracks are much more readily found, but more and more tourists are looking for slot machines, poker tables, and other casino games. Panther World of Entertainment in New South Wales is the biggest slot machine casino in Australia with over 1000 slot machines. Top honors, however, go to the Crown Entertainment Complex, which has 350 table games, as well as over 5,000 slot machines and video terminals combined.

According to the Australian Ministerial Council on Gambling, Australians alone spent in the neighborhood of $150 million per year on gambling. Most of this gambling is done on slot machines and video gambling games. About 15.6% of this gambling was done in casinos on table games. Gambling machines, known as “pokies” in Australian make up over 72% of the industry, and there are over 100,000 machines in New South Wales alone, both inside and outside of casinos.

The gambling industry employs over 75,000 people in Australia. Many of the services in the casinos themselves are targeting tourists. Although this country is not a gambling hot spot, if you’re visiting Australia, you’ll find that a number of their casinos offer lodging and food as well as games. Before you book a stay at any casino, make sure you call to understand their dress code, and remember – children are not allowed to gamble, so save this form of entertainment for a time when you aren’t traveling with someone under the age of 18.
