Smoke Frog
I’m not sure if I recall correctly, but when I visited Melbourne, I believe I stopped by the venue but was unable to play bc needed to sign up for something first, but had issues with my card so went somewhere else. Did you encounter anything similar?
Yeah had to sign up for a Crown Card, which is common for every casino. I had cash on me and just bought in with cash. I didn't have any issues.

Hard Rock Hollywood. Great restaurants, great floor, great poker room, incredible line up of shows, close to several good clubs + has one of its own. Love it.
Yeah I love Hard Rock Hollywood. My first live poker tournament was there.
Same!
A classic
Golden Nugget, Lake Charles, LA.
The old Treasury Casino in Brisbane has to be my favorite simply based on the amount of time I’ve spent there and the number of shenanigans I got into. The CC and dry on tap went down an absolute treat on a summer night after every other bar and club stopped serving. Interested to check out the new one but it doesn’t look like it will have the same charm as the old building
Right now, I prefer online gaming. Sometimes it's hard for me to choose a platform, but there are many websites with detailed descriptions.
it sounds quite atmospheric
The borgata was my home during my 500k degen summer. So I always feel comfortable there, but also obviously have bad memories. It was by far the best casino in AC for years, but the new Ocean’s casino is really slick too. But overall, AC is kind of depressing to visit. It’s like not as vibrant and pleasing to the eye as it was 15 years ago.
In Vegas, the major casinos are all pretty nice. Wynn, Venetian and Encore are all great to stay at. Bellagio has good poker games as well as nice restaurants.
But the best casinos I’ve been to have been in Macau. It’s like Vegas on steroids. Everything is over top, and the best buffet I’ve ever been to was at a Macau casino. It was like 400 bucks and was u limited high end food with no time limit. Snow crab, caviar, Uni, wagyu, etc. Also had the highest gambling limits I’ve ever seen.
I haven't been to Macau, but want to go someday. Those Macau players are crazy. They definitely play a different style of poker.
You should at least once. It’s just a really fun time. Amazing food and the pit is so much fun. You can yell and a scream and rip up cards and they don’t bat an eye.
My hometown casino, I miss it dearly. Nothing in London compares.
The stock market
I get that! Crown is awesome, especially with those fast-fold tables, keeps the adrenaline up. For me, I really liked Aria in Vegas. The atmosphere is top-notch, and their tournament setup is smooth, though no 10-second speed poker there.
Speed poker makes sense in a land of degenerates like Australia. I think I read somewhere that they have more gambiling addicts per capita than anywhere else in the world.
In general, it is interesting how casinos experiment with the format to make the game more dynamic - the same 10-second decisions in poker give tension and do not allow the hand to "slow down". This changes the style of the game itself: more intuition, less long reflections.
I do not have a "favorite", but I can say that software casino online https://interacasino.com/software/ is indeed often mentioned as one of the most famous in the world - and not only because of the scale, but also because of the various formats of games included in quick tournaments.
If you look more broadly, many players choose their "favorite" places not only because of the games, but also because of the atmosphere, service and even location. Some like the classics and calm, while others, on the contrary, are looking for a fast pace and new formats. Do you like such quick tournaments more, or is it still classic poker without a timer?
