History
Crown Casino opened in 1994, and relocated to a new complex at Southbank in 1997. It was originally founded, owned and run by
Lloyd Williams until the
Packer takeover by PBL in 1999.
Games
Amongst other games, Crown provides the 6 main casino games of
Blackjack,
Craps,
Pai Gow,
Poker,
Baccarat and
Roulette but it was also the founder of an electronic version of Roulette known as
Rapid Roulette. Rapid Roulette is essentially the same as traditional roulette but rather than players placing bets on a layout, all gaming takes place on a personal electronic touch screen connected to a central roulette wheel. The benefit of this is that the player has easy access to the entire betting layout, and due to the electronic nature of the game, it's both fast and accurate. Rapid Roulette has been in use for several years, and recently Rapid Bigwheel and Rapid Sicbo have been developed.
As well as
Caribbean Stud Poker on the main gaming floor, Crown has also long offered varieties of poker including
Texas Hold'em. The Crown Poker Room has recently grown with the increased popularity of poker and now encompasses a large separate space in the Crown basement known as the Poker Room.

slot machines on the casino floor, with values of 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent and 1 dollar available for patrons to play. The slot machines at Crown are made by
