Best casino in Hobart in 2026: how the local option stacks up

Hobart has one licensed casino. It has been operating on the same Sandy Bay waterfront since February 1973, and that is the only answer a reader comparing “best casino in Hobart” options needs at the level of the search itself. The interesting part of the question, for 2026, is what sits on either side of that simple answer — the legal prohibition on the offshore sites that market themselves to Australians, and the way Australian authorities have been drawing tighter around them year by year.

This page sketches the fundamentals first, then steps through the licensing frame that decides which offers a reader here can actually act on. The licensed casino in Tasmania gets a full venue review. The eleven brands that appear in the comparison are there because the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) itself issued formal warnings over them; the page describes each, and leaves the choice where it belongs — with the reader who can read a warning notice and choose what to do about it.

Currency stamp: prices and figures are current as of 29 October 2026, checked against ACMA enforcement notices and the Tasmanian Gaming Commission’s published actions.

Hobart’s casino at a glance: what the licensed venue actually offers

Wrest Point Hotel Casino sits on the Derwent River waterfront in Sandy Bay, about three kilometres east of Hobart’s CBD. It opened on 10 February 1973 after a Tasmanian referendum on 14 December 1968 returned 56% support for the development, making it Australia’s first legal casino, and the building that grew up around it — a 17-storey, 64-metre dodecagonal hotel tower designed by Sir Roy Grounds — remains the tallest structure in Tasmania. The hotel tower carries 269 rooms and a revolving restaurant.

Three details make Wrest Point a usable answer rather than a heritage footnote:

• The casino floor runs more than 650 electronic gaming machines, with table games including blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat on the main gaming level.
• Owner Federal Group spent roughly A$65 million on a staged renovation between 2018 and 2023 to mark the venue’s 50th anniversary, refreshing rooms, public areas and the convention centre built in 1984 at a cost of more than A$20 million.
• The site carries a hotel, multiple bars, restaurants and a rooftop bar with views across the Derwent — the kind of bundle that makes “casino + accommodation” a single decision rather than two separate bookings.

In Tasmania, the venue is licensed and regulated by the Tasmanian Gaming Commission, with player-protection rules set by the state. Wrest Point has not been free of regulatory friction: it was fined A$17,500 in 2015 for allowing a faulty poker machine to keep operating, having been fined A$13,000 the year before for six gaming machines operating outside approved game rules. Federal Group agreed to audit every machine on the floor after the 2015 fine. None of this changes the underlying point — Wrest Point is the only legal casino in Hobart — but it puts the regulatory frame in plain view.

What “best casino in Hobart” can mean in 2026

The search asks which option wins. In 2026 the answer has two layers, and the rest of the page explains each.

The local layer is a single venue. Hobart is not Las Vegas, Melbourne or Macau: the city carries one licensed casino, and the question of “best” turns on the reader’s own weighting of the bar, the hotel, the table-game mix, the location and the price of a meal rather than a comparison between multiple properties. The comparison that matters here is between visiting Wrest Point and not visiting it at all — between playing in person at a Tasmanian-licensed venue with full consumer protections, and trying to play the same games through an offshore site that has no licence in Australia and may not even load in the country by the time the reader makes a deposit.

The offshore layer is what most affiliate “best casino” lists ignore. Every brand in the comparison further down this page was named by the ACMA in a formal warning for offering prohibited interactive gambling services to people in Australia. The reader who reaches one through an advert is not at a comparison point — the comparison was already made, by the regulator, and it was decided in the negative.

Three readerships come out of that split, and each gets a different verdict from the same material:

• A Hobart resident or visitor who wants the casino experience — the floor, the tables, the bars, a room for the night — gets a clear answer. Wrest Point is the venue.
• A reader who cannot or does not want to travel to Sandy Bay but wants something Australia-licensed gets a different answer. Online casino play is not licensed anywhere in Australia; what Australia does licence is wagering on races and sport placed before the event, lotteries and keno, through operators such as Sportsbet, Bet365 and Ladbrokes who hold Northern Territory licences for tax reasons. The Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission (NTRWC) regulates 52 such online bookmakers and runs with no full-time staff, meeting once a month in Darwin.
• A reader comparing offshore brands they have seen advertised has already lost the framing. The choice is not between brands; the choice is between playing in a regulated venue or playing offshore where the regulator has already said no.

That second framing is what this page is built around, and the rest of the section shows why the regulator’s stance matters to the reader’s wallet, not just to the operator’s paperwork.

The legal frame: the IGA 2001 and what the ACMA has actually been doing

Online casino games and online pokies are prohibited interactive gambling services in Australia. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001, strengthened by the Interactive Gambling Amendment Act 2017, makes it an offence to provide them to a person physically in Australia, and no state or territory issues a licence for them. The minimum age for gambling is 18. The individual player is not prosecuted under the IGA — the law targets the provider — but the consumer protections that exist for Australian-licensed services do not exist offshore. There is no complaints body, no local recourse if a withdrawal is refused, and the site can be blocked by an Australian internet service provider while a balance still sits on it.

The ACMA, the regulator that administers the IGA’s online provisions, has three tools it uses. It investigates, it issues formal warnings, and it directs Australian ISPs to block illegal sites. The cumulative record through mid-2026 is the clearest summary of how that translates into the experience of trying to reach one of these brands in Australia.

As reported in June 2026, the ACMA had asked Australian ISPs to block 1,751 illegal gambling and affiliate marketing websites since the first blocking request in November 2019. More than 230 unlicensed gambling services had left the Australian market entirely since enforcement was strengthened in 2017. The blocking rate of roughly twelve to fifteen sites per month is steady enough that any offshore brand a reader saw advertised last month is more likely than not to be on a blocking list by the time this page is read.

A blocking-rate calculation puts that in plain terms. From November 2019 to the ACMA’s June 2026 update spans roughly 79 months. 1,751 blocked sites across 79 months comes to about 22 blocked sites per month on average — and over 230 services pushed out of the market entirely in the same window. The result is a band, not a single figure: between the slow months and the round-the-clock pace of mid-2026, readers should expect Australian access to a previously advertised offshore casino to fail on a scale of weeks to a few months, with the operator’s own site frequently replaced by an ACMA notice rather than a 404.

The cost of that pattern falls on the reader, not the operator. If a balance is sitting on a blocked site, the operator that markets to Australians from offshore is under no Australian obligation to return it. A reader who has just had their account blocked from Australia cannot rely on a complaints body they would have in Tasmania or the Northern Territory for a licensed wagering service. The pattern of enforcement the ACMA has built up over six and a half years is the background any offshore comparison has to be read against.

What changed in 2024–2026

Two reform tracks closed in the years the reader is most likely to be looking back from:

• The cashless gaming card reform in Tasmania moved hotel and club poker machines — a category separate from Hobart’s casino, since Wrest Point is a casino-licensed venue — to mandatory carded play from December 2025. Default loss limits of A$100 per day, A$500 per month and A$5,000 per year apply, raisable only after a 24-hour wait, plus mandatory 10-minute breaks after two continuous hours of play. Wrest Point itself is regulated separately by the Tasmanian Gaming Commission under the casino licence, and its floor has not moved to mandatory carded play under this reform.
• The Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026 passed Parliament on 19 August 2026. Its advertising and inducement measures commence 1 January 2027, which means the page describes a law that has been passed but is not yet in force on a 2026 read.

What the ACMA warned about, brand by brand

The list of formal warnings the ACMA published in the years leading up to 2026 is the single most useful piece of evidence for any reader comparing offshore brands. Reading it carefully, three things stand out.

First, the warnings cluster around operators that run several brands at once. Dama N.V. was warned in May 2022 over six casino brands: Bambet, Dazard, Level Up, Rocketplay, Wild Tornado and Cobra Casinos. The regulator returned to Dama N.V. in March 2025 over Woo Casino and in May 2025 over Spirit Casino, with RocketPlay resurfacing in March 2026 under a different operator, Pulsup Ltd. The pattern is not new brands popping up; it is the same offshore operation re-labelling after each warning.

Second, repeat offenders appear in the same enforcement record. Bizzo Casino was the subject of a 2022 formal warning to TechSolutions (CY) Group Limited and TechSolutions Group N.V., and was warned again in July 2025 over Consolutetish S.R.L. National Casino and Ignition Casino were caught up in the same July 2025 round, along with Instant Casino, which the ACMA warned EOD Code SRL over in February 2025.

Third, the rate of new warnings has held steady rather than accelerating. April 2025 brought a warning over Casino Intense (Sterplay Holding Ltd). April 2026 brought warnings over Jackbit and CasinOK (Ryker B.V.), and a separate June 2026 blocking round covered 7Signs, ChromaBet, Donbet, Duospin, Freshbet, Slots Gem, Jacks Club, Lucky Start, Pointsbetz, Spinrise, Vinyl Casino and Wildsino. The rate is not a crackdown, exactly; it is the regulator doing roughly the same work it has done since 2017, with monthly output in the high single digits to low double digits.

The “Subject support” column carries what outside listings report about each brand — never an endorsement of the operator’s own claims. Where no listing contributed anything useful, the cell is empty. The page does not attach any of these brands to Australian consumer protection, because none of them is connected to it.

Why Australia-licensed online casino play does not exist to compare against

A reader who has spent time on a UK or US-facing comparison site is used to seeing licence numbers — Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, Gibraltar — printed next to a brand. In Australia that column has no entries, because no Australian licence for online casino games exists.

What does exist is the Northern Territory licensing system that issues wagering licences. The NTRWC regulates 52 online bookmakers including Sportsbet, Bet365 and Ladbrokes, who hold Territory licences for tax reasons. Those licences cover wagering on sport and racing placed before the event, lotteries and keno. They do not cover online casino games.

The economics behind the prohibition are visible in the ACMA’s own background figures. H2 Gambling Capital’s 2025 report estimates Australians lose about A$3.9 billion a year to illegal gambling sites, with the share of gambling going through legal channels falling from 74% in 2021 to 64%. That gap is the prize offshore operators are chasing, and it is the gap the ACMA’s blocking programme has been slowly closing rather than eliminating.

The payment side reinforces the prohibition. Since 11 June 2024, credit cards, credit-related products and digital currency are banned as payment for licensed online wagering in Australia, with penalties up to A$247,500 for operators who break the rule. Legal deposit routes for licensed wagering are debit card, bank transfer, PayID/Osko and BPAY. A site asking an Australian customer for a credit card or a crypto deposit is operating outside the Australian rules, and the operator’s terms page — where one exists — is the only consumer protection the customer has.

The gambling self-exclusion and support frame Australians can actually use

The local venue sits inside a state-run protective frame that an offshore site is not part of. Three pieces matter.

BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, has been live since August 2023 and binds Australian-licensed online and phone wagering services. A punter who registers with BetStop is excluded from licensed wagering marketing, account opening and deposits for the period they choose, and the exclusion cannot be lifted until that period runs. An offshore casino is not part of BetStop. A self-exclusion does not stop a Curacao-licensed brand accepting an Australian deposit; it stops an Australian-licensed one.

The Tasmanian helpline for gambling harm is 1800 858 858, run by Anglicare Tasmania’s Gamblers Help Service. It is free, available 24 hours, and can help arrange venue self-exclusion at Wrest Point itself. In-person counsellors are based in Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie. The national helpline — same number, national scope — also offers chat through Gambling Help Online.

In Tasmania, the cashless card reform applies to hotel and club poker machines rather than to Wrest Point’s casino floor. A reader who plays the pokies at a hotel or club in 2026 is playing under a carded regime with default loss limits of A$100 per day, A$500 per month and A$5,000 per year, with a 24-hour wait before any raise, and with mandatory 10-minute breaks after two continuous hours of play. A reader who plays at Wrest Point is playing under the Tasmanian Gaming Commission’s casino framework, which is a separate set of rules and a separate venue-licence regime. The two should not be flattened into one.

Tax is the quiet piece. Recreational gambling winnings in Australia are not assessable income (section 6-5 ITAA 1997), and losses are not deductible, unless the person carries on a business of gambling — model only, “check with the ATO”. That quiet distinction matters to a reader who treats play as recreation rather than as a side income, because it removes the record-keeping burden that follows a US- or UK-resident punter trying to claim losses. The Australian reader who wins does not get a tax bill. The Australian reader who loses does not get a deduction.

Hobart’s licensed venue as a destination: practicalities

Wrest Point is the venue a reader comparing “best casino in Hobart” is actually choosing between, and the comparison is internal rather than between properties. The relevant questions are about the visit.

Address and getting there. Wrest Point sits at 410 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay, around 3 km east of the CBD by car or roughly a 30-minute walk along the river. The river end of Sandy Bay Road has the casino, the hotel tower, and the waterfront bars and restaurants. Parking is on site.

Entry and age. Minimum entry age is 18. Photo ID is checked at the door. The Responsible Gambling Code that applies at Wrest Point under the Tasmanian Gaming Commission’s casino licence is the same framework that governs the venue’s self-exclusion register and the advertising restrictions inside the building.

On the floor. More than 650 electronic gaming machines and the table mix most readers expect from a casino this size — blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat. The bars and restaurants on site serve anyone; the gaming floor is the gated part. Bar and restaurant dress codes tend to be casual. The rooftop bar at the top of the tower — accessible without going through the gaming floor in most configurations — is one of the more useful non-gaming reasons to visit the venue, with views across the Derwent.

Where to stay. The 269-room hotel tower is the on-site option and the obvious one if the reader wants to step from the room to the floor. Off-site, Sandy Bay carries a small cluster of motels and serviced apartments within walking distance. Hobart’s CBD hotels are roughly 3 km west and require a car or taxi back after a late session.

Reading the table-game catalogue. The casino does not publish RTP figures on the gaming floor the way Australian online wagering services do. The casino’s table-game rules — number of decks, dealer-stands-on-soft-seventeen, doubling rules, surrender — are written into each table’s rules card and are the same kind of detail a reader would compare between online casinos if Australia licensed them. Without a published table to transcribe, the practical move for a serious table player is to inspect the rules card at the table before sitting down, since a blackjack game with the better rules can move the house edge a full percentage point or more off the worst-rules table.

For a punter whose bankroll is the deciding factor, the venue’s electronic gaming machines operate with a return-to-player rate set by the Tasmanian Gaming Commission’s framework. South Australia, by way of reference, sets a 87.5% minimum on gaming machines outside Adelaide Casino and lets the casino itself run with no maximum-bet limit; Tasmania’s casino-side rules are different again. None of that is the headline — the headline is that Wrest Point is the only licensed casino in Hobart and the rest is detail the reader can check on a visit.

The eleven offshore brands the ACMA has named, in plain English

What follows is not a ranking. It is the list of brands the ACMA itself has warned Australians about, ordered as research hands them in, with what each warning covers and what outside listings say about the brand. No brand in this list holds an Australian licence to offer online casino games, and no bonus terms are quoted because the only sources for those were affiliate pages, which the page does not reproduce.

RocketPlay

The ACMA’s most recent formal warning over RocketPlay is dated March 2026 and names Pulsup Ltd as the operator; an earlier May 2022 warning over the same brand named Dama N.V. Two operators, same brand, four years apart. No listing contributed reliable outside detail.

The verdict for an Australian reader is direct: a brand that has cycled through at least two operators, each of which has attracted a regulator’s warning for offering prohibited services in Australia, is not a venue at which an Australian can rely on the protections that apply at Wrest Point.

Level Up Casino

The ACMA warned over Level Up in May 2022, naming Dama N.V. Outside listings — including a Wikipedia entry and the Victorian regulator’s published material — carry a passing profile of the brand, which is what makes it a “listings-only” entry here. Neither makes the brand legal in Australia.

For a reader who has seen the brand advertised and wonders what the catch is, the catch is the IGA. The Victorian regulator’s document and the Wikipedia entry describe the brand; neither describes a licence to offer online casino games to Australians.

Woo Casino

Woo Casino drew an ACMA warning in March 2025, again with Dama N.V. named as the operator. General review directories list the brand in passing. The brand sits inside the cluster of Dama N.V. operations the ACMA returned to in 2025.

For a reader, the case for skipping it is the same as for the rest of the Dama N.V. cluster: the ACMA has already published the legal position, and any affiliate page offering a bonus is not reversing that position — it is sitting on top of it.

Spirit Casino

Spirit Casino is the third Dama N.V. brand in the 2025 warning cycle, with the formal warning dated May 2025. No outside listing contributed anything reliable.

The pattern is more useful than the brand. The ACMA issued warnings over Woo in March 2025, Spirit in May 2025, and a third Dama N.V. brand later that same year; treating these as three separate operators rather than one offshore operation makes the regulator’s job look easier than it is.

National Casino

National Casino drew a July 2025 warning, with Consolutetish S.R.L. named as the operator. ABC and federal infrastructure documents reference a related entity. For a reader, the brand is one of two Consolutetish S.R.L. brands that drew warnings in the same July 2025 round.

Bizzo Casino

Bizzo Casino is the second Consolutetish S.R.L. brand that drew a warning in July 2025. The brand had already drawn an earlier warning in 2022, when it sat under TechSolutions (CY) Group Limited and TechSolutions Group N.V. Two operators, the same brand, three years apart — the same Dama N.V. pattern by a different parent.

For a reader who has been pointed at the brand by an affiliate article, the audit-trail problem is the same: the brand sits behind one operator in 2022 and a different one in 2025, and the affiliate article does not always know which one.

Ignition Casino

Ignition Casino drew a July 2025 warning with Bamboo Media named as the operator. No outside listing contributed reliable detail. The brand is in the same July 2025 round as National Casino and Bizzo Casino, but with a different operator behind it.

Instant Casino

Instant Casino drew a February 2025 warning with EOD Code SRL named as the operator. No outside listing contributed reliable detail. The brand is one of two instant-play-casino-style brands in this list, the other being Jackbit.

Jackbit

Jackbit drew an April 2026 warning along with CasinOK, both under Ryker B.V. No outside listing contributed reliable detail for Jackbit. A reader comparing Jackbit to a Curacao-licensed casino in 2022-era directories will see the licence claim repeated; the ACMA’s April 2026 warning is what determines the position from Australia.

Casino Intense

Casino Intense drew an April 2025 warning with Sterplay Holding Ltd named as the operator. Outside listings — including ABC, AGSM and a South Australian regulator document — reference the brand in passing. The South Australian regulator document in particular belongs to a jurisdictional material rather than an endorsement of the brand.

Sky Crown

Sky Crown drew a September 2022 warning with Hollycorn N.V. named as the operator; the same operator also drew a warning over a sister brand, Blue Leo. General review directories carry a passing profile. The brand is the oldest operating name in this list, and the warning predates the 2024–2026 reform wave by a wide margin.

The verdict for Sky Crown is the same as for the rest of Hollycorn N.V.’s labels: the ACMA has already given the legal position, and the only thing a 2026 affiliate page offers over a 2022 warning is a different banner.

Reading a “best online casino” list when the law says no

A reader who arrived here from a “best casino in Hobart” search is probably used to comparison lists that print the licence number, the number of games, the welcome bonus and the payout time, and judge the brand on the basis of those four fields. In Australia, two of those four fields — the licence number and the welcome bonus — are not available on the same terms as they are in the UK or EU markets, because the underlying product is not licensed in Australia at all.

Three checks cut through the affiliate material the reader may already be looking at:

• Does the brand appear on a published ACMA warning? The ACMA’s register lists every formal warning it has issued, with the date and the operator. The brands on this page all do; almost every other brand an Australian reader sees advertised does as well.
• Does the brand ask for a credit card or crypto deposit? Since 11 June 2024 credit and crypto are banned as payment for Australian-licensed online wagering. A site asking for either is outside the Australian rules.
• Does the brand sit inside BetStop’s covered services? BetStop is the National Self-Exclusion Register, and it binds Australian-licensed wagering operators only. A brand the punter can register with and then quietly re-deposit at next week is not bound by BetStop and is not an Australian licensee.

For a Hobart reader who decides they want the casino experience and accepts the law’s framing, the comparison collapses to a single venue. Wrest Point is the licensed casino in Hobart, and the rest of the decision is about when to visit, which bar to drink at, whether to stay on site in the hotel tower or at a Sandy Bay motel, and which table game to sit at first.

How to play the games at Wrest Point in 2026

The games Australian readers most often search against a “casino in Hobart” query are blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps and pokies. Wrest Point carries each.

Blackjack is the most common table game on the floor. Readers used to online play should expect fewer side-bets, no unlimited double-down, and the same house edge they would see at any major Australian casino — typically in the half-percent range for the better-rules tables, higher for the worst-rules tables. Australian casinos are regulated under state frameworks rather than the UK Gambling Commission’s published rules, so the comparison the reader does at the table is to the rules card on the felt, not to a list on a website.

Baccarat is the simplest table game on the floor. Punto banco rules are standard. The house edge on the banker bet is the lowest on the floor — around 1.06% in standard play — and the player bet is roughly 1.24%. The tie bet sits at over 14% and is the bet no serious player makes more than once.

Roulette at Wrest Point is the Australian double-zero wheel rather than the European single-zero wheel — the green zero and double-zero pockets are both on the wheel. The house edge on almost every bet sits at 5.26%, and that figure is the comparison the punter does once and then never forgets. A reader comparing a roulette experience at Wrest Point to a “single-zero” European wheel advertised on an offshore site should know the difference is roughly 2.7 percentage points of house edge and roughly the same fraction of the punter’s bankroll across a long session.

Craps sits on the floor with a full layout. The pass-line bet carries about a 1.41% house edge; the don’t-pass sits at roughly 1.36%. The proposition bets at the centre of the table carry much higher edges and are the bets the table layout itself steers the eye toward and the maths steers the punter away from.

Pokies are the bulk of the gaming floor — over 650 machines at Wrest Point. The venue does not publish RTP on individual machines in the way that Australian online wagering operators must. Cashless card play, which applies to hotel and club pokies in Tasmania under the December 2025 reform, does not yet apply to the casino floor; Wrest Point is regulated under its own casino licence. A punter who wants to play pokies should expect the typical Australian-licensed machine mix and should treat RTP as a feature of the machine, not of the venue’s brand.

The rooftop bar above the gaming floor is the reason some readers visit who otherwise would not, and it is the answer to a “casino rooftop bar Hobart” search that does not need an offshore comparison: the venue is the rooftop bar, and the rooftop bar is the venue.

Responsible gambling: what the page is built around

The page is built for readers who can choose. For readers who feel the choice is not theirs, four resources are worth keeping at hand:

• Gambling Helpline Tasmania: 1800 858 858, free, 24 hours, run by Anglicare Tasmania. Can help arrange venue self-exclusion at Wrest Point and provide counselling for the punter or their family.
• Gambling Help Online: web chat with trained counsellors, same scope as the helpline but online.
• BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register: free, online, binds Australian-licensed wagering operators for the period the punter registers. Does not cover offshore sites.
• Lifeline: 13 11 14, for any crisis that is not gambling-specific.

The self-exclusion register at Wrest Point itself, arranged through the venue or via Gamblers Help, is a separate mechanism from BetStop and applies at the Sandy Bay venue specifically.

What to take from this page

The licensed casino in Hobart is Wrest Point, and that is the venue the page sends the reader toward. The offshore comparison that a search result might suggest the reader wants does not exist as a comparison the law allows Australians to make. The eleven offshore brands listed on the page are there because the ACMA itself named them in formal warnings; no affiliate page or licence claim undoes the warning.

A reader who does not want to travel to Sandy Bay and does not want to play at Wrest Point has two reasonable options. Either stay with Australian-licensed wagering on sport, racing, lotteries or keno through an NTRWC-regulated operator using a debit card, bank transfer, PayID/Osko or BPAY, or do not play at all. The third option — playing offshore against the regulator’s stated position — is the one the ACMA’s blocking programme is built to make increasingly inconvenient, on a scale of weeks to a few months per brand.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main casino in Hobart?

Wrest Point Hotel Casino, in Sandy Bay on the Derwent River, is Hobart’s only licensed casino. It opened on 10 February 1973 and was Australia’s first legal casino, with a 17-storey hotel tower that remains the tallest building in Tasmania.

Where exactly is the casino located?

Wrest Point sits at 410 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay, around 3 kilometres east of Hobart’s CBD. The site carries a hotel, multiple bars, restaurants and the rooftop bar in the tower above the gaming floor.

What is the minimum age to enter?

The minimum age is 18 across all Australian gambling venues, and photo ID is checked at the door.

Does Wrest Point offer table games such as blackjack and baccarat?

Yes. Wrest Point’s gaming floor carries blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat alongside more than 650 electronic gaming machines. The table game rules are written on each table’s rules card and are the comparison a serious player makes at the table.

Are there hotels within walking distance of Wrest Point?

The on-site hotel tower carries 269 rooms and is the obvious choice. Sandy Bay has a small cluster of motels and serviced apartments within walking distance; Hobart’s CBD hotels are roughly 3 km west and best reached by car or taxi after a late session.

Can Australians play at an online casino instead of visiting Wrest Point?

No. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits offering online casino games to anyone in Australia and no state or territory issues licences for them. What Australia does license is wagering on sport and racing placed before the event, lotteries and keno, through Northern Territory-licensed operators.
