History

Moved to talk because mostly trivia. May want that Harrahs aquired it.

September 14, 2007 - $10 gaming chips introduced

August 2006 - Baccarat Perfect Pairs replaced by Dragon Bonus

January 2006 - Table Game Four-Card Poker introduced

January 2006 - Table Game Big Wheel replaced by Rapid Big Wheel

December 2005 - Table Game Double-Chance trialed and removed later that month

2000 - $500 chips were removed from the casino after fraudulent chips found. Some chips did make their way into the bank due to limited security features on the chips.

December 1999 - TabCorp bid for Star City, eventually succeeding

October 1999 - Harrahs acquire Star City

November 27, 1997 - Permanent Star City Casino established

September 13, 1995, 6pm - Temporary Casino Opened

1994 - Casino licence granted to Sydney Harbour Casino Pty Ltd (operations managed by Showboat)

Video Poker?

Does Star City have actual "video poker machines", or just video verions of "poker machines" (i.e. slot machines)? The last time I was there, they had no actual Video Poker machines, and a Video Poker forum mentions that there were none as of 2009. -- That Don Guy (talk) 22:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
