The room
Star Poker is at the southern end of the main casino floor on Level 2 of The Star. Cash games run from 10:00 to 04:00 every day, starting at midday on public holidays with more tables opened at 16:00. Every game is capped at eight-handed, which is unusual and makes the games play larger than the blinds suggest.
Five cash levels are spread, from $2/3 with a $200 to $500 buy-in through to $25/50 with a buy-in from $2,500 to $10,000, all with an optional straddle. No-limit hold’em is the default and pot-limit Omaha runs at the same levels when there is demand. Rake is 10 per cent capped at $20 to $25 depending on the stake.
Getting a seat
The registration desk opens at 10:00. You can put your name on the waitlist by SMS from 09:00, but the room will only hold a seat if you are physically in the room, so the text is a queue position rather than a booking.
Practical details
The Star is at 80 Pyrmont Street, ten minutes on the light rail from Central or a walk across from Darling Harbour. Minimum age is 18 and a photo ID is required to enter the casino; NSW identity and exclusion checks apply at the door. Dress is smart casual and play is in Australian dollars.
Online poker cannot be offered to Australian residents under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, so nothing is linked here as an online alternative.
