The Star Gold Coast Casino Live Games

Live Table Games on the Floor

At The Star Gold Coast, our live games run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during short closures on Good Friday, ANZAC Day, and Christmas Day. The main gaming floor closes only briefly on those three specific days each year. Outside those dates, the schedule is steady - no seasonal changes, no late-night shutdowns driven by demand.

All gaming sits on a single level, which makes the floor more straightforward to move around than people usually expect from a venue this size. At any time, we have over 70 table games in operation, spread across blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker in a few different formats. If you are on the Gold Coast and want regulated live table play, The Star Gold Coast is currently the primary venue offering this experience. There is no second venue in the local area offering the same style of play.

Because we run multiple tables for each game type, peak periods are busy but generally manageable. Wait times are not always short, but they are usually predictable and orderly. The layout and table mix are designed so that casual visitors who want a few hands can sit down without too much delay, while higher-stakes and longer-session players still find suitable limits.

The official website confirms 1,400+ gaming machines, while some external sources mention 1,600+ units; the variance likely reflects counting methods at different times. Either way, there is a broad mix of denominations, styles and themes on the floor at any point.

The Star Poker Gold Coast

Our Star Poker Gold Coast operates in its own defined area within the casino, separate from the main blackjack and roulette pits. It runs live cash games and regular tournaments on a specific schedule. Those two types of poker usually run at the same time but follow different structures. If you only have a few hours, most people find cash games more flexible. Tournaments are better suited to players who want a clear start and finish and a fixed blind structure.

For day-to-day details on what is running, PokerAtlas tracks our room independently. It is not an official channel, but it can still be useful to check before you travel. It is always important to remember that any unofficial listing can lag behind the actual room.

You can contact the Star Poker Gold Coast directly on +61 7 5592 8130. This is separate from the main resort switchboard, which is 07 5592 8100 for general casino enquiries. Both numbers can provide information about current games and scheduled tournament times.

Getting started in the Star Poker Gold Coast is usually straightforward:

1. Make your way to 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach Island, Broadbeach QLD.
2. Enter the main casino floor; the Star Poker Gold Coast is signposted from there.
3. At the desk, check the game board for current cash games and any upcoming tournaments.
4. Add your name to a cash-game waiting list or buy in to a listed tournament at the desk.
5. Confirm your table and seat with the floor staff before you sit down at a game.
6. Use the PokerAtlas listing to double-check tournament start times before you travel in.

One practical reminder that applies here, and in other poker rooms as well: if you are planning a visit around a single tournament, always cross-check the advertised time using our official phone contact, not only a third-party app. Schedules can move or be adjusted, and conditions apply if events are rescheduled or cancelled.

For the best experience, visitors are encouraged to check current schedules and events before arrival and to contact venue staff directly with any specific gaming or tournament queries.

Getting to the Floor

Our property sits between two G:Link tram stops on the Gold Coast light rail line, so arriving without a car is usually simple. The address is 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach Island, Broadbeach, Queensland, on Broadbeach Island next to the Nerang River.

Once you walk inside, the gaming offer is all on one level. Live tables, the Star Poker Gold Coast, and all Gaming Machines are accessible without lifts or escalators between gaming zones. Floor staff are positioned throughout and can help with directions, table limits, and basic rule questions if you are new to a particular game type.

It can help to keep a few practical points in mind before you sit down:

1. Travel to Broadbeach on the G:Link light rail - our casino sits between two tram stations.
2. Head to 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach Island, Broadbeach QLD and follow the signs to the main casino floor entry.
3. Bring valid photo ID, as you may be asked to present it when you come onto the floor.
4. Table pits are grouped by game type, so once you step through the entrance, the layout usually makes sense quite quickly.
5. Wait until the current hand or wheel spin has finished before you move to an open seat at a table.
6. Confirm the table minimum or betting range with the dealer before you put chips in play.
7. For Gaming Machines, choose the denomination area you prefer and use AUD cash or a valid ticket voucher.

Hours and Public Holidays

Our casino floor operates on a continuous 24-hour cycle on standard days, with no daily shutdown. The only scheduled breaks occur briefly on Good Friday, ANZAC Day, and Christmas Day. Both the live table games and the Gaming Machines follow the same closure dates, so the entire gaming floor pauses at those specific times.

If you are planning a visit close to a public holiday, it is sensible to confirm our current operating status before you leave home. You can check star.com.au/goldcoast or call 07 5592 8100 for the most current information. Our restaurants, bars, and hotel services may run on different hours to the casino floor, so one part of the resort being open does not always mean everything is operating at the same time. Conditions can also apply on some public holidays or special events.

The Resort Behind the Floor

The Star Gold Coast has operated on the Gold Coast since 1985. We opened originally as Jupiters Hotel and Casino, which was Queensland’s first licensed casino. In 2017, after a substantial redevelopment by Star Entertainment Group, we rebranded as The Star Gold Coast and refreshed a large part of the property.

We operate under a Queensland state casino licence within the Jupiters Casino Agreement framework. All gaming activity on the floor, including The Star Gold Coast live games, sits under this regulatory structure. Star Entertainment Group is listed on the ASX, which adds an additional layer of corporate oversight and reporting on top of the usual state-based regulation.

Beyond the main casino, the broader resort includes several dining outlets, multiple bars, hotel accommodation, and live entertainment spaces. Our Sports Bar screens major Australian sporting fixtures, including State of Origin and international events. Garden Kitchen and Bar runs outdoor events on The Lawn. Weekly programming typically includes Movie Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, Jazz and Gin Thursdays, and Comedy Club Sundays. The full and current What’s On calendar is always available at star.com.au/goldcoast/whats-on.

For most gaming-focused visitors, The Star Gold Coast live games are the main reason to come through our doors. A large number of live tables on one floor, a dedicated Star Poker Gold Coast with both cash and tournament play, and a 24-hour operating model together make this the central regulated casino option in the region. The Star Gold Coast is the main venue on the Gold Coast that offers this combination of services within a single property, and that alone explains why the floor sees steady traffic every day of the week, across locals, hotel guests and day visitors.
