Crown Melbourne – Poker Room

The room

Crown runs the largest poker room in Australia, with more than 50 tables in a space on Level 1 of the complex that was rebuilt to house the 2026 Aussie Millions. Cash games span an unusually wide range for a single room: no-limit hold’em from $1/3 with a $100 minimum buy-in up to $50/100, pot-limit Omaha across several levels, limit Omaha and a mixed game such as H.O.R.S.E. when the players are there for it. The floor is open from 10:00 on weekdays and runs continuously from Friday morning to Monday morning.

Tournaments

Two weekly tournaments anchor the calendar, on Wednesday and Friday evenings at 18:15 – a Wednesday night event and a Friday freezeout. The Aussie Millions, the biggest tournament series in the southern hemisphere, takes over the room each January. Structures and results are published as downloadable files on Crown’s own poker page.

Practical details

Crown is at 8 Whiteman Street in Southbank, a ten-minute walk from Flinders Street station across the river and served by trams along Clarendon and Whiteman streets. Minimum age is 18 and a valid photo ID is required; carded play is mandatory, meaning you register a card and set your own time and loss limits before sitting down. Dress code is smart casual – no ripped clothing, work gear or offensive prints. Play is in Australian dollars.

Australia prohibits online poker under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, so there is no online room to link from this page.
