A social poker environment in the heart of Broadbeach.
Step into a space designed for connection, conversation, and the timeless ritual of poker. Velvet textures, warm lighting, and carefully arranged tables create an inviting atmosphere for adults aged 18 and over.
Velvet Crown Lounge, 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach QLD 4218, Australia.
The Card Lounge is crafted to encourage face-to-face interaction, with low lighting, plush seating, and a layout that invites conversation. Velvet upholstery in deep teal and raspberry tones wraps each chair, while soft, warm lighting from table lamps and wall sconces keeps the room feeling private and unhurried. Background music sits at a level that allows easy conversation, so the evening never feels louder than the people in it.
Poker here is a social activity, not a competition. The focus is on the enjoyment of the game itself. Cards are shuffled and dealt by hand, chips are used as tactile accessories rather than currency, and players engage in friendly banter and strategy discussion. The result is a room that feels more like a private club than a high-pressure arena.
Whether you are a seasoned player or new to poker, the lounge offers a welcoming environment to relax and enjoy the evening at your own pace.
Our poker tables are custom-crafted with a smooth felt surface and elegant wooden trim, designed for comfort and functionality. Tables seat up to eight players and feature built-in cup holders and chip trays, keeping the game area tidy and the focus on play.
High-quality playing cards and ceramic chips add to the tactile pleasure of the game. Cards are made from durable plastic-coated stock, while chips have a satisfying weight and texture. Chips are used solely as game accessories, never as currency.
Poker in the Card Lounge is about the shared experience, not the outcome. Players often rotate tables to meet new people, staff can provide basic rules for beginners, and no financial transactions occur at the table. It is a game in its purest social form.
Enjoy contemporary Australian cuisine without leaving the poker table. Our staff will serve you directly, with a menu featuring seasonal dishes and share plates. Beverages include non-alcoholic options and cocktails, and service is discreet and attentive throughout the evening.
The combination of fine dining and poker creates a unique evening experience. Chef's specials are designed for easy eating while playing, desserts and coffee are available after the game, and dietary requirements are accommodated. Explore the full restaurant offering for more details.
The Velvet Ribbon Rooms concept is expressed through flowing ribbon motifs that guide the eye through the space. Ribbon patterns appear in the carpet and wall coverings, curved architectural elements echo the ribbon form, and the palette of deep teal, raspberry, apricot, and ivory ties the room together.
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating an intimate atmosphere. Dimmable fixtures allow adjustment throughout the evening, a warm color temperature of 2700K enhances the velvet tones, and focused task lighting on poker tables keeps every hand clearly visible.
While both are dedicated to poker, the Card Lounge offers a more relaxed, social atmosphere compared to the Poker Room. The Card Lounge is built for casual play, conversation, and dining, while the Poker Room provides more focused play with dedicated tables. Both spaces share the same high standards of design and service.
