Sydney's Star City Casino has made huge strides in poker over the past two years and the transformation continued last week with the opening of a brand new dedicated poker room away from the hustle and bustle of the main gaming floor.
Boasting 25 tables, an impressive new registration desk and walls adorned with memorabilia, the poker room is the first gambling area to be completed as part of Star City’s massive $475 million redevelopment.
Although the biggest test of the area’s capabilities will come later this month when
Some constructive feedback. Yes, every venture needs time to bed down & adjust & I'm certain Star are working on the issues that have surfaced. But think about these comments within this story:
"passed with flying colours on opening night" .... given the lack of air conditioning (stuffy & hot), only 4 wait staff to service 400 players (who planned that!) and the tables so close together that it was difficult to move for players & staff my take on it was that it should have been better planned.
"world class facility" ..... please, this statement is so far from the truth the PR people at Star should be ashamed.
"star got it right" ....... I think they only got it half right, and that's a shame for poker players. No rail so no ability to see what's going on, still using old bacarat tables not proper poker tables, cramped table surrounds, poor food & drink service, and I'm sure others could add more.
We would all like to see a true world class poker offering. Let's hope Star listens to the feedback for the next room (in 18 months?)
