The biggest draw card of Crown Perth however is the two-up ring, which is available every day of the year making it the only venue to offer a legal two-up ring all year round.

History of Crown Perth

Crown Perth was actually built before Crown Melbourne in the 1980s, when it was proposed to occupy a landfill site by Perth businessman, Dallas Dempster.

Classics

Construction began but when it was opened it didn’t go by the name Crown Perth. Instead when the $200 million project was finished in 1985, it was called the Burswood Island Casino and was at the time considered to be the biggest casino in Australia.

In 1990 an expansion was proposed, which saw an improved high roller section when it re-opened in 1995.

A decade later the Burswood Island Casino saw another renovation, but this time seeing additional bars and a nightclub added, with the overall construction valued at $96 million.

In 2004, Australian media tycoon, Kerry Packer, acquired the complex and from 2006 to 2008 new gaming sections were added. The additions included a VIP section called The Pearl Room, a higher stakes section for the general public called The Riviera Room, a new sports bar called the Carbon Sports Bar (now the Crown Sports Bar), and finally a new poker room.

It wasn’t until 2012 the Burswood Island Casino was renamed, and this was thanks to Kerry Packers son, James, proposing the re-branding, and was established as Crown Perth.

What games are available at Crown Perth?
