Australian Local Casino Finder

Of course, you want to make sure your local casino offers a wide range of all the games of chance you love, from table games to exciting slots; but beyond that, look for a casino where you feel welcomed and comfortable. Casino employees should go out of their way to explain the rules of new games to you; cocktail waitresses should serve you drinks with a smile, and you should generally feel like the king or queen of the manor at any casino that wants to get and keep your business.

After a long day of having fun, nothing beats being able to just jump in an elevator and go to your hotel room, right where you've been playing! So we strongly recommend exploring the hotel options at your casino of choice. Be sure to ask for a player's card when you first arrive, then use it to track all your slot and pokies play; most casinos offer generous discounts and even free rooms to players who give them some action! If you hit the tables (blackjack, craps, roulette, poker, or baccarat), be sure a casino host is tracking your play hours as well for the same reason.

Getting casino comps shouldn't be a mystery; if you have any questions whatsoever when you arrive at a casino, be sure to ask a casino host to explain their policies, as these do vary from one casino to another. For the most part, comps (short for "complimentary," or free) are offered to reward player "action": the amount of time (and sometimes the stakes) you are willing to gamble in their house. Consider comps as a rebate of sorts. By using a player's card or finding a casino host, your "action" is easily trackable, and you can look forward to free or discounted rooms, food, entertainment, and more!

Absolutely! In fact, you're probably much safer in the average casino near you than you are out on a typical city street, in a department store, or even in most major airports! Casinos take security very seriously, and use "eye-in-the-sky" technology to keep a watchful eye on everything that's going on. They want their guests to have a relaxing and safe experience, and you'll notice security people frequently as you walk around a casino. Count on the fact that there are many more that you don't see as well!

That really depends on many factors: how much you wager, what games you are playing, and (perhaps most importantly!) how lucky you are on any given day. Some games, (like slot machines, for example), rely entirely on luck, while others (such as poker and blackjack) involve a bit more skill (but luck still counts!) Our suggestion is to bring no more than you can afford to lose, and view a night of gambling as entertainment; then if you happen to win as well, that's just a great bonus on a thrilling night out!
