A Gaming Floor Spanning Two Levels
The Star's gaming floor stretches across two levels and more than 100,000 square feet, giving it room for an unusually broad spread of games. Level 1 is open to any adult visitor, while the high-limit Sovereign Room on Level 3 requires a prior membership application. The range takes in every major format, and the whole operation currently runs under the oversight of an independent manager.
Table Games and What They Cost to Play
The table selection is broad, with stakes scaling from accessible main-floor minimums up to serious high-limit territory.
| Game | Variants | Main Floor Bet | Sovereign Room Bet |
|---|
| Baccarat | Mini Baccarat, Punto Banco | Low-limit options | Up to $75,000 |
| Blackjack | Standard, Multi-hand | From $10 | Up to $75,000 |
| Roulette | Standard, Rapid | From $5 | Higher limits |
| Craps | American rules | From $5 | Varies |

High-Limit Play in the Sovereign Room and Inner Sanctum
The Sovereign Room on Level 3 is the venue's high-limit destination, accessible by membership application, where baccarat and blackjack stakes climb as high as $75,000. Tucked within it is the Inner Sanctum, an ultra-exclusive space accommodating bets from $100 up to $500,000 per hand — territory reserved for international high rollers and Diamond Card members. It's a different world from the main floor, both in stakes and in service.
Pokies and Electronic Gaming
The machine side of the floor is just as substantial as the tables.
- Around 1,490 electronic gaming machines across the main level
- Classic reel games and feature-rich video slots
- Progressive jackpot machines for big-win potential
- The Stadium, an interactive zone with live feeds from just $1
The Star Poker Room
Regularly rated among Australia's finest, Star Poker runs 34 tables and serves as the home of the Australian leg of the World Series of Poker. It hosts both cash games and tournaments through the week, and it holds a distinction no one else in the state can claim: it's the only venue in New South Wales offering professionally dealt cash games, which sets it well apart from the social poker rooms found elsewhere.
