Overall I would recommend Crown Melbourne as a must-see poker destination in Australia. Apart from the casino's rewards card, there are no bad beat jackpots or bonuses of any kind. Rake at Crown Melbourne poker room is high at 10% capped at $15 across most stake levels. There are also time limits on play imposed due to past issues with gambling safety. While service is efficient, everything costs money including non-alcoholic beverages. It can be a bit dark and feel a bit cramped at times during peak hours. Stake levels range from 1/3 to 5/10, with the flexibility to buy in for 200 big blinds.Ĭrown Melbourne offers a comfortable poker room with professional dealers and shuffling machines. No tournaments have been running since the pandemic, but live cash games are thriving. The poker room is conveniently situated and provides tablets for efficient waiting list management. The casino's prime location on the south bank of the Yarra River offers easy access from the airport and the city center. Crown Melbourne Poker Room sits at the heart of one of the world's most beautiful cities, Melbourne.
