How to Play Poker

Poker at Bondi Casino Grill

Step 1: Understand the Basics

Poker is a card game where players bet on the strength of their hand. At Bondi Casino Grill, we offer Texas Hold'em, the most popular variant. Each player receives two private cards, and five community cards are dealt face-up. The goal is to make the best five-card hand.

  • Hand rankings: high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, royal flush.
  • Betting rounds: pre-flop, flop, turn, river.
  • Blinds and antes may apply.

Step 2: Learn the Betting Rounds

A hand of poker progresses through four betting rounds. After the initial deal, the flop (three community cards) is revealed, followed by the turn (fourth card) and river (fifth card). Players can check, bet, call, raise, or fold at each stage.

  • Check: pass the action without betting.
  • Bet: place chips into the pot.
  • Call: match the current bet.
  • Raise: increase the bet.
  • Fold: discard your hand and forfeit the pot.

Step 3: Play at Our Tables

When you visit, our dealers will guide you through the process. You can join a table, buy chips at the cage, and start playing. Remember, poker is a game of skill and chance—always play responsibly and within your limits.

  • Minimum and maximum buy-ins vary by table.
  • Dealers are happy to explain rules to beginners.
  • Responsible gambling staff available.

How to Play Roulette

Roulette at Bondi Casino Grill

The Wheel and the Table

Roulette is a game of chance played on a spinning wheel with numbered pockets. At Bondi Casino Grill, we offer European roulette with a single zero. Players place bets on where they think the ball will land, and the dealer spins the wheel.

  • European roulette has 37 pockets: numbers 1-36 and a single zero.
  • The dealer spins the wheel and drops the ball.
  • Bets are placed on the table layout before the spin.

Betting Options

Roulette offers a variety of bets, from simple red/black to specific numbers. Inside bets are placed on individual numbers or small groups, while outside bets cover larger sections like red/black, odd/even, or high/low. Each bet has different odds and payouts.

  • Inside bets: straight, split, street, corner, six line.
  • Outside bets: red/black, odd/even, high/low, dozens, columns.
  • Payouts vary; e.g., straight bet pays 35:1.

How to Play Blackjack

Blackjack at Bondi Casino Grill

Objective of the Game

Blackjack is a card game where you play against the dealer. The goal is to get a hand total closer to 21 than the dealer without exceeding 21. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards are worth 10, and aces can be 1 or 11.

  • Card values: 2-10 face value, J/Q/K = 10, A = 1 or 11.
  • A hand with an ace and a 10-value card is a blackjack (21).
  • If you exceed 21, you bust and lose.

Gameplay Steps

Each player receives two cards face up, and the dealer gets one card face up and one face down. Players then choose to hit (take another card), stand (keep current hand), double down (double bet and take one card), or split (if two cards of same value). The dealer then reveals their hidden card and plays according to house rules.

  • Hit: take another card.
  • Stand: keep your hand.
  • Double down: double your bet and receive one card.
  • Split: separate two same-value cards into two hands.

Playing at Our Tables

When you join a blackjack table, place your bet in the betting circle. The dealer will guide you through the hand. Remember, blackjack is a game of chance, and no strategy guarantees a win. Always gamble responsibly.

  • Minimum and maximum bets apply.
  • Dealers can explain rules.
  • Responsible gambling support available.

Etiquette and Responsible Gambling

Play with Respect and Care

Casino Etiquette

Respectful behaviour is expected at all tables. Wait for a seat, handle chips and cards properly, and follow the dealer's instructions. Avoid using phones at the table and be mindful of other players.

  • Wait for an open seat or ask the dealer.
  • Do not touch cards in games where they are dealt face-up.
  • Keep phones on silent and step away to take calls.
  • Tip dealers if you wish, but it's not required.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. Set a budget before you play, stick to it, and never chase losses. Bondi Casino Grill promotes responsible gambling and provides support for those who need it.
