Conrad Treasury Casino is part of a larger complex that includes four restaurants serving four world cuisines – Cafe 21, Blackjack’s, Pastano, and Marco Polo. A trend in modern casino-resorts toward a variety of bar scenes gave rise to the five on-site pubs, where casino customers and tourists visiting Brisbane rub elbows with locals. The formal Livewire Bar is the polar opposite of Sports Bar, where casual dress and big-screen TVs are the norm. Special guests have access to two VIP bars, the Keno the Havana, designed for big-spending gamblers and visiting celebs.
Queens Gardens is home to both the casino and the hotel. A theatre hosting live events (comedians, local and international music acts, and fashion shows) is also part of the complex. An open courtyard in the centre of the resort is home to plenty of neon and Vegas-style light and water shows. Guests who stay at the hotel, located at the very top of the Queens Street Mall, will find high ceilings, over-the-top décor, and large open plan bathrooms and sleeping quarters.
Casino Games
Treasury is one of biggest betting houses in Queensland. An easy walk from the resort hotel and nearby cultural sites, more than 1,300 pokie machines and video poker titles are scattered across the three floors set aside for gambling. A total of 86 tables for games like blackjack, craps, and baccarat are open at any given time. A little more than 67,000 square feet in size, the gambling section of the complex is appropriately housed in the former treasury and mint offices of the territory of Queensland.
The variety of pokies and table games is impressive. Among the table games on offer (not all games are available at all times) are several variants of blackjack, casino-style poker games like Caribbean Stud, a half-dozen craps games, Sic Bo, and two games unique to this venue, Treasury 21, and Treasury Wheel.

All the Treasury’s table games have at least two options for stake sizes, high-roller versions with large bet minimums and maximums as well as games accepting low stakes wagers. For example, blackjack players have a choice between tables with AUD $5 minimums and those that allow wagers up to AUD $5,000. Bet ranges for roulette at Conrad Treasury (played with American, European, or French rules) are similar; the least expensive tables have an AUD $5-$50 range and high roller tables with max bets of AUD $2,500 or $5,000 are also open most of the day.
Poker
Poker players who visit the Conrad Treasury’s casino can play at the venue’s poker room located on the ground floor on the Elizabeth Street side. Open at 10 AM every day, games available are No Limit Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and a Texas/Omaha rotation game.
Customers who want to play poker have to register at the room’s desk; a text message from the staff will alert you when a seat at the game you want to play becomes available
Daily cash games with blinds from AUD $1-$5 are available – the room’s higher limit games are available only on request.
Take note that only members of the casino’s Absolute Rewards program can play poker. Membership is free, and the program pays rewards and offers things like comps and other giveaways based on how much you play and wager at all of the venue’s games. Register by stopping at the Absolute Rewards Desk near the poker room or online at the casino’s website.
