I think there is two in Sydney but Star seems to be going broke - shares are worth 11c

I visited the Tasmanian Casino once, in 1982.
I went to the Perth Casino once, in 1992.

Why would any Australian go when they can gamble at their local club or pub?

There’s one here in Shepherds Bush, or is it a play on words.

I’m sure it’s very sumptuous within…

It’s popular with the homeless, it seems.

None whatsoever, I suppose they are away far south in Glasgow/Edinburgh.

In France the casinos are most often located in spa towns. And often people are prescribed spa stays by their doctor. So these small towns with the luck to have a natural spring or thermal water get a spa, a casino and lots of low cost private hotels. Most are not glamorous.

There are three that call themselves casinos but don’t offer any table games like poker or roulette. There’re just slot machines for poker, roulette, and all the other games. There may be hundreds of gambling halls in addition.

This thread made me think of the tiny and dismal “casino” in the “highest bar in the city” in Stockholm (as was back in 2004). It was one roulette table, one card table and one slot machine. On the highest part of the hotel, by the station - the eighth floor. Quaint was the most apt description. No doubt changed since then.

I had a remarkable chance encounter with a career US Army man at the casino.
Left me shaken, the eye contact couldn’t be broken by any of the topics we shared.
Well worth the money I lost…whew. You brought me luck with good vibes, @Bretrick . :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
