Burswood Casino Perth
Perth boasts the biggest Casino in Western Australia .Pokies (One armed Bandits) are illegal in WA EXCEPT for the Casino.I go in the local RSL club in Bellevue (great nights on Fridays starting from 7pm) Altho the club struggles the Eastern States & Northern Territories RSL thrive by virtue they have Pokies (not illegal) and the return from these gambling machines is tremendous enabling the clubs to spend on great facilities like cheap subsidised drinks & meals in the clubs restaurants (members only get the cut price,non members pay more BUT membership is only $12 annually !) The Perth casino is built on reclaimed land that was once the areas rubbish tip !!Apart from the Casino a huge 5 star hotel and sports complex is included (The 18 hole golf course is excellent) and the large sports hall accommodates star attractions like Rod Stewart.Although the machines are illegal in pubs West Australians can gamble thru other outlets including Bookies (Horse racing/sporting bets) and often these agencies can be found inside pubs ! Scratch cards and the lotteries re hugely popular but astonishingly Pokies are illegal !! The mind boggles !! It is noticeable that it is winter in Perth by the showing of clouds in the photo,s (tongue in cheek) The Casino is a good night out with its night clubs,pubs,excellent eateries & first class theatre that attracts big names from all over the world (I saw We Will Rock You show TWICE & have to say that production was better than the London version I saw)
