Gambling Scene in Perth

With 1.671 million people, the state capital of Perth is home to 65% of Western Australia’s population. The city also plays host to between 8 and 10 million visitors each year making it a hub for many leisure activities, including gambling.

Perth offers a variety of ways to gamble including a city casino which holds the states only licenses for playing pokies and keno. The city enjoys several race courses including greyhounds, thoroughbreds and harness racing. Perth also has venues that offer bingo as well as poker, plus you can enjoy televised sports and race betting through the social clubs and sports bar TAB network.

As a city, the residents of Perth spend more money at the casino than on any other form of gambling with an estimated $1,849 per person being gambled at The Crown each year. Given that the casino is the only place in the state of Western Australia where electronic gaming is licensed, this isn’t surprising.

The second most popular way to gamble is wagering on races followed by the Lotto and then sports betting. Minor gaming, scratch cards and the pools all have low turnovers.

Overall, the gambling expenditure per capita in Western Australia is quite low and the state has the lowest rate in the country (with the exception of Tasmania) at $3,390. The average annual gambling spend per person in the country is $10,481. Compare this to the Northern Territories where this figure reaches an incredible $65,585!

Casinos

As with all of Australia’s major cities, just one license for a casino has been granted for Perth which is held by the Burswood Entertainment Group. Currently, the company operates the only license for the territory of Western Australia.

Crown Casino Perth

Great Eastern Highway, Burswood, WA 6100

Once the largest casino in Oz, the Crown has spent $750 million in renovations. Image via website.

Originally opened in 1985, the Crown Casino and its surrounding complex has been renovated in 1990, 1999, 2002 and 2012.

The site incorporates a convention centre, hotel and theatre along with nightclub and other leisure facilities. Situated just a few minutes across the Swan River from central Perth, the design of the building makes it look like a futuristic Aztec temple.

Costing $200 million to build when it first opened, Crown Perth was the largest casino in Australia at the time and the third largest in the world. Though this title has now been taken by the company’s sister site in Melbourne, the Crown is still a huge place to enjoy a night of gambling.

The casino enjoys the only license for Keno and EGM play in all of Western Australia as well as offering poker and table gaming. There are several dedicated lounges and bars to entertain sports fans, baccarat players and pokie gamblers. In addition, there is also a members lounge plus the famous Pearl Room for VIP gaming.

The Crown Casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Race Courses

The details of all WA meetings and events are published annually by the Racing and Wagering Western Australia association. You should note that these cover all of Western Australia but most are around the Perth area. Courses and tracks are listed below with a summary of events and facilities.

Horses

Horse racing in Australia is the third most popular spectator sport behind Aussie Rules and rugby league and Perth offers a good range of venues to get in on this action.

Ascot Racecourse

70 Grandstand Rd, Ascot WA 6104

Home to summer racing in Perth, Ascot is a hard finish for ‘stayers’ only. Image via website.

Originally opened in March 1848, Ascot Racecourse is the principle horse racing venue in Perth and is adjacent to the headquarters of the Perth Racing Club.

Ascot is one of Australia’s oldest racecourses and hosts prestigious events such as the Perth Cup, the Kingston Town Classic and the Karrakatta Plate.

A Tri-Oval course, Ascot has been refurbished to modern standards since it was first opened almost 170 years ago and features a 9.94 furlong track with one of the most severe tests of stayers in the country; a 300m inclining home straight.

Racing is screened on the Seven Network but you can use TAB facilities on site if you attend on race days.

Meets are held on Wednesday and Saturday during the summer racing season.

Belmont Park Racecourse

Goodwood Parade, Burswood WA 6100

Perth’s second racecourse, Belmont Park is a flat course and has been showcasing thoroughbred racing since 1910. Considered one of the best winter tracks in the country, the course is situated just 10 minutes outside of the CBD and a stone’s throw from the city’s casino complex, The Crown.

The course has full TAB facilities as well as dining and hospitality areas.

Belmont Park picks up with Wednesday and Saturday racing during the winter months.

Narrogin Race Club is WA’s only course to host both harness and thoroughbred racing and is about a two hour drive south east of Perth.

Dogs

Greyhound racing is still legal in Western Australia despite calls for the sport to be banned. Whilst the ACT has now agreed a ban which will be implemented from April 2018, Western Australia still enjoys a good dog racing scene.

Park Cannington

Station Street, Cannington WA 6987

Crown Perth Casino Details

Located on the Swan River in the suburb of Burswood just outside the city of Perth, Crown Perth (operated by Crown Limited) is a hotel and casino resort complex. Linked to Perth’s Central Business District by a public railway system, the complex contains a casino, two hotels, a convention centre, many restaurants and bars, and a 20,000 seat indoor arena called The Dome.

Crown Casino Perth Convention Centre Singapore

The Crown’s casino is open twenty-four hours a day. On the casino games floor, twelve table games are open at any given time. The Crown’s table game variety includes a few variants of blackjack, roulette (on single-zero and double-zero wheels), electronic versions of casino standards in the Rapid series (Rapid Roulette, Rapid Baccarat, Rapid Money Wheel), three variants of baccarat, casino-style poker games like Casino War, Texas Hold’Em, and Caribbean Stud Poker, Two-Up, Sic Bo, and Pai Gow.

Poker players who visit the Crown complex can participate in weekly No Limit Hold ‘Em tournaments with buy-ins as low as AUD $50 or play in ring games from noon to 6 AM during the week or twenty-four hours on Fridays and Saturdays.

The casino’s collection of electronic machine games totals just under 2,000, though traditional pokies or any reel-spinning games are not legal in Western Australia. (See our page about pokies facts for more information about these kinds of games.) In place of pokies, the casino offers skill games like video poker and machine versions of keno, along with other skill games that are hybrids of table games and video poker machines. Wagers on these games range from AUD $0.10 up to the high-roller level available on machines in the casino’s VIP section. Bets on these VIP games go up into the hundreds of dollars per round. A separate keno lounge located next to the casino’s sports bar operates around the clock available at a wide variety of bet sizes on both table versions of the game and electronic portals.

VIPs and special guests have their own gaming area, the Pearl Room, with a 180 degree view of the Perth skyline and the Swan River. All the games found on the casino floor, except for head-to-head poker, have high-roller versions in the Pearl Room where bet minimums hover around the AUD $50 mark. Complimentary beverages and game hosts serving VIP guests are available in this by-invite only section of the Crown casino.

Facts about Gambling in Western Australia

According to a government report, the Database on Australia’s Gambling Industry, a little more than 80% of adults in Australia participate in some form of wagering. That number makes Australians the most active bettors in the world, with easy access to bookmakers, betting on horse and dog races, pokies in clubs and bars, and the country’s many traditional casinos, not to mention legal and regulated online gambling.

Crown Perth Casino

The government agency that controls gambling in this territory is the Office of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. That group licenses and regulates all gaming machines and table games at Crown Perth, and is responsible for the auditing of all the games of chance and skill in the Crown casino-resort complex as well as in clubs and bars that make pokies and other machine games available in WA.

It wasn’t until 1974 that the government of Western Australia considered regulating and legalizing casino play, citing the fact that organized crime groups were already running illegal casino operations within territorial boundaries. The potential increase in tourism to the area was another major factor, and eventually the territory decided to pass legislation allowing for the construction of a casino in Perth, the framework that would eventually lead to the construction of the Crown Perth.

Nearby Destinations in Western Australia

The city of Perth is the major destination for travellers to WA. Perth is a major cosmopolitan city, the fourth-largest in all of Australia, with museums, performance halls, and cultural sites draw in in hundreds of thousands of international tourists every year.
Though the climate is generally dry and much of the territory is uninhabited, the northern tropical regions of the state are home to a diverse collection of wildlife, as is the southwest coastal area (home to Perth) which has a more comfortable Mediterranean climate.

Revenue from tourism (and from poker machines) continue to increase, thanks in part to places like the Crown Perth that take advantage of the size of the territory’s capital city and its many landmarks and tourist-friendly destinations to draw in business. Gambling regulations in Western Australia do allow for the construction of other casino resort complexes in the state, though so far Crown Perth has a monopoly on the territory’s casino industry.
