Brisbane’s Treasury Casino might not be around for much longer but you can enjoy some great gambling until it is replaced in 2022.

The Treasury is one of a couple of casinos in Queensland but the only one in Brisbane itself. Situated in a historic building in the heart of the city, the Treasury is due to be replaced by a huge new development just a stone’s throw away. It currently offers good gaming opportunities across a multi-floor set-up with poker, electronic gaming tables, traditional casino games and private rooms.

In this guide, we take a look at the existing casino and give you the run down of what you can expect when visiting the Treasury Casino, Brisbane.

Overview

Opened in 1995, the Treasury Brisbane is owned and run by the Star Entertainment group, a division of the OzLotto operators, Tabcorp. A leisure complex incorporating a luxury hotel, casino plus restaurants and bars, the site is housed in two Heritage Listed buildings.

The former Treasury building and the neighbouring Lands Administration building are separated by the Queens Gardens. Both are examples of late 19th and early 20th century colonial architecture with Victorian and Edwardian sandstone colonnades. The main building features a six-storey atrium and was home to government public administration offices until its refurbishment the 1990s. Both buildings were listed as important aspects of Queensland’s cultural heritage in 1992.

The current home of Brisbane’s only casino is due to close in 2022 when it will move to a new home at the proposed development of Queen’s Wharf. It is expected that the existing Treasury building will be converted into retail premises. The new complex will consist of five luxury hotels, 50 bars and restaurants plus a new theatre for the city. Details of the gaming floors for the casino are yet to be finalised but it is expected to be significantly bigger than the existing Treasury complex. It is likely that the new casino will be named ‘Star Brisbane’ after the owner’s penchant for self-promotion!

Gaming

The casino is spread over three gaming floors each offering a combination of different games to play. VIP gaming is offered via four exclusive rooms including The Suite and The Sovereign Room. Access is available to members of the Star Club (Gold, Platinum and Diamond level only).
