No. 2/3(500), 2:5/10 (500-1000) and 5/10/20 (1000-5000)

Not sure what min is for 2/3.

2/5/10 gets up every night, usually 2 tables on the weekdays and 2-4 on Friday-Sundays. 5/10/20 gets up on the peak days for sure, but Monday-Wednesday not all the time. 5/10/20 usually just 1 table

It's been quite a few years, but I stayed in the Ibis hotel on Darling Harbour. Nice enough place, can't remember how much is cost in AUD. Walked over to Star City, maybe a mile or so?

Just south of the Pyrmont bridge. Seems as if there were a lot of other hotels right in that area. Plus restaurants, bars, etc when you want to get away from the casino.

I prefer apartments with kitchens but the cheapest I can find in the vicinity is $258/night

If that's Australian, it sounds about right. It's an expensive part of the city in an expensive town. If you don't mind a bit of walking you can look a little bit south of Pyrmont too, the area is perfectly safe and nice, you can walk it at any day or night time.

So played in Sydney a few nights this week, in general the games seemed a bit more friendly/jolly/recreational than Melbourne which is good for a change. Also liked the feel of the table/cards/chips.
Love the unlimited free water bottles to take back to the hotel 😂😂

Not really. Lots of tables open at 6 every night so get to the room at 5.30 and you’ll be on at 6.10

‘Reformed’ Star makes final plea to save Sydney casino licence

The Star Entertainment Group has asked a regulatory inquiry to recognise its management bloodletting and operational reforms as part of a last-ditch effort to hold on to its Sydney casino licence, as a new inquiry is called to examine its Queensland businesses.

Any clue if crown Sydney will have poker now that it’s being allowed to operate?

I highly doubt it, and almost certainly not micro or mid stakes. Isn’t it supposed to be a purely high roller casino?

“The Barangaroo casino is membership-only, local punters of any status can apply as long as they can prove the source of their funds and pass other background checks. While the minimum table bets under the new licence is not clear, the original 2014 restricted licence for the casino put in place a $30 minimum for baccarat, $20 for black jack and $25 for roulette.”

I mean crown Melbourne is virtually membership only these days since you need a players card to hit the poker tables. Plus outside the party pit which barely runs these days minimums aren’t too far off the Sydney numbers
