One for the Aussies (at least the ones near to Melbourne, Perth and Sydney anyway).

I wonder whether this would be a good thing for your average punter/poker player? I can at least dream that it would lead to some nicer chips being introduced. These are particularly uninspiring.

Crown Melbourne is a joke.

1/2 hold em. $20 max rake.
1/3 hold em $15 max rake.

$14 for beer/spritt
$30 - $50 for parking in basement

No float on the tables for rebuys. You have to go back to the cage.

The only thing I hope is that they replace the shit chips they have now with nice fresh minty paulsons.

As for Sydney.. dealing from a shoe, placing the burn under the card and the bet line placement was driving me to max tilt.

Well i’m clear which side of the fence you are on :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:. Go Wynn go.

Crown Perth are pretty shit the way they run their poker room. They don’t give two shits about it really.

I’ve never played at crown Melbourne, but the perth players I’ve spoken to love it, so that doesn’t say much for Crown Perth. I did quite like Sydney though.

Australian rakes are the worst.
 
Crown Melbourne poker room used to be great.
They had great food service and drink service.
$2 basics and $2.50 fish and chips.

At least now they let u being outside food and drinks in. But still.. they are missing so many opportunities to make the great.
 
Interesting offer.

Looks like Wynn may be trying to pull off the regional dominance plan Packer originally had for Crown but fell over with the companies issues in China.

Packer originally wanted to run a line of casinos down from Asia into Australia (Macao, Japan, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and a few other potential locations like Korea and the Philippines) where the whales could be flown around and entertained at VIP locations and amenities throughout the region without losing them to the US, Europe or Singapore. Wynn could essentially enact this if the bid is successful, and with Steve Wynn now gone, maybe they are a chance at a Japan licence which keeps MGM, Sands and latecomer Caesars from dominating the region.

Sydney and Melbourne and all other Aus casinos are essentially rubbish, but this is what happens when you allow the market to be a monopoly. Thank god for home games.
 
I just want some new chips. I guess they’ll be plastic regardless though. Shame
 
Yeah new chips is all I want.
Would be nice to able to harvest full racks of $1’s locally. Especially if they are Paulson.

Can you imagine harvesting Paulsons for $1aud.

It would overtake my wedding day as the best day of my life :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I think I’ve only seen Wynn house molds but I guess they’re still better than those in the OP!
 
What's not to like about this chip? ..... I personally have a bunch of these Wynn chips in my cash set and love them (they are a lesser Mirage $5) :tup:

They're $5 for a house mold with a bland inlay and spot coloring :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: besides that nothing! Obviously to each there own but if they became available on the secondary market I'd be surprised if they reached $2.50/chip.
 
Btw I'll mention it here as well, happy to harvest the Wynn Boston chips (June 24th GO) at cost + dealer tip just let me know beforehand.
