Welcome to Wrest Point Casino AU, where heritage meets modern entertainment across both our iconic Hobart venue and digital platform. As Australia's pioneering legal casino established in 1973, we've evolved from our historic waterfront location to offer comprehensive gaming experiences both on-site and online. Whether you're drawn to our 500+ gaming machines and table action, or prefer the convenience of our online platform, we provide diverse entertainment options.
Our story started on 5 December 1939, when architects Colin Philp and David Hartley Wilson unveiled the streamline moderne Riviera Hotel.
The transformation into a gaming destination came through a democratic process. On 14 December 1968, Tasmanian voters participated in a statewide referendum regarding the casino licence application. With 56% public support, the proposal succeeded, leading to the Wrest Point Casino Licence and Development Act 1968. This legislative milestone paved our path to opening Australia's first legal casino in February 1973.
The Tasmanian Heritage Council added us to the Tasmanian Heritage Register.
Understanding the differences between our physical Hobart location and Wrest Point online casino helps you choose the experience that suits your preferences.
