While you will not find any poker cardrooms like what is found in crown or the star, there are still many ways to get your poker fix in Tassie. These include cash games at Wrest Point and Country Club or tournament players have Bullets and APL to choose from.

Due to legal regulations in Tasmania the only cash games available are at the casinos in Hobart and Launceston.

Because of the limited options in Tasmania you are very unlikely to find any sharks circling to take your money.

Unfortunately, No Limit Texas holdem is the only option except for very select infrequent Omaha games.

You can choose to either call up the cashiers or speak to one of the poker coordinators to put your name on the list.

My personal experiences playing at Wrest Point were good with action packed games and average players.

Know going in that all players will know each other but for the most part they are not rude to or targeting newcomers, it does result in a good overall atmosphere with lots of chatting and relaxed play.

With some changes made to wrest point the poker area is not as good as it used to be but I guess casinos are there to make the most profit so I understand the change.

There are no high hand or bad beat jackpots available, players also do not earn casino rewards points while playing poker.

The Higher limit game does not start until 8:00pm Wednesday and Thursday, or 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday.

Country Club Casino

Be sure to call early from 9:30am the day you are looking to play as some nights the game fills up quickly and with only one table it can be a while before a seat opens up. You can only book your seat the same day you want to play.

After a recent change there is only one table available for poker at the country club and has been cut back to only 2 nights but is the only cash game option available in Launceston.

There are no high hand or bad beat jackpots available, players also do not earn casino rewards points while playing poker

The rake is one of the best available in Australia with 10% in a pot over $20 capped at a max rake of $10 with no time charge.

Games can sometimes finish early if its part the old guys bedtimes but can also get players later some of the APL or Bullets tournaments finish.

Players are friendly and is usually filled with regulars that all no each other but no collusion from my experiences.

Dealers are ok but not as experienced as other places in Australia due to the games only running twice a week.

There are no pros here with only a few players knowing more advanced poker concepts, most just have basic knowledge and play fairly standard.

Owned by the same proprietors as the wrest point casino.

Very basic poker experience with no running it twice or even live straddles.

New to the poker scene bullets was met with great reviews.

Bullets is a locally run operation owned by Tasmanians.

Bullets was set up by poker players that were unhappy to the current games on offer and definitely have a poker players outlook on the tournaments they set up.

With a variety of games throughout the state during the week they can be great fun to play with good people that enjoy poker but don’t have the same intensity or the experience as casino players.

Bullets also have a yearly poker series that in 2019 had a main event with a $10,000 prize pool

Promotion will be running to give player the opportunity to play at the 2020 World Series Of Poker in Las Vegas.

Be sure to checkout their website or facebook page for the current events.

Poker Tournament Los Angeles

APL and 888PL are owned by the same parent companies and the games essentially run the same

APL is the worlds largest free to play poker league.

APL offers no limit texas holdem tournaments around Tasmania.

By playing APL games you can gain tickets through playing their games to their main events which have a prize pool of over 1 MILLION DOLLARS

Although they advertise themselves as a free-to-play poker league playing these tournaments does cost money if you want a chance to win.

By purchasing merchandise, you get extra chips added to your stack, due to Tasmanian regulations they cannot make payment required to enter the tournament.

APL events are self-shuffled which required players to shuffle the cards when they are on the dealer button.

Like a large number of poker players I started playing poker through APL and is a great way for beginners to hone their skills and learn the rules of the game without outlaying and losing a large amount of cash learning.

Check the APL website to find out the games currently available

At the time of writing APL games are held at

Online

Australian law prohibits poker sites from being available to Australians so Tasmania is the same as the other states in this respect.

There are sites that still illegally offer this but normally through bitcoin transactions and are normally not the most reputable sites out there so certainly proceed with caution.

Home Games

Unfortunately, Tasmanian law is different and stricter than other states in regards to home games so larger home games are not generally organised.

Some people still chose to have home games in Tassie but it is normally just between close friends.

The police raided the last place that I regularly played home games with everyone questioned and IDs recorded.

I don’t know all the legal details of participating or hosting home games in Tasmania so I do not feel comfortable making recommendations so if possible ask a lawyer (not one that is going to cost you a bucket load of money) before hosting a game yourself.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you back to Queenstown in New Zealand for the APPT Queenstown Main Event — the fourth stop of Season 7 of the tour. This boutique event has found its niche in the poker calendar with players coming far and wide to enjoy everything this wonderful town has to offer.

Some come for the poker, but for most, a trip to Queenstown presents so much more. The adventure capital of the world brings a plethora of fun activities away from the tables to ease the pain that elimination from the APPT Queenstown Main Event may bring.

Throughout the week we’ll bring you some stories from around the town and hopefully get to enjoy a taste of Queenstown ourselves. The snow bunnies are a little disappointed that the unusually warm weather has confined the snow to the mountain peaks. SKYCITY Casino Shift Manager Andrew Gray assures us that just two weeks ago, the snow was down to lake level, but apparently the skiing conditions are still very good up on the mountains. That won’t worry those of us sticking to town level, as the restaurants and bars are sure to be a hive of action late into the evenings, especially with the short days promised here in the Main Event.

For now we find ourselves in the warmth of the SKYCITY Queenstown Casino as Day 1a is not far away from kicking off. The Summit Room has been transformed into a poker den with five tables in action and likely to be at full capacity over the opening three flights. APPT Queenstown is one of the rare tournaments in the Asia-Pacific region that has shown steady growth with 149 players taking part last year as Australian Dave Allan collected the top prize of NZ$110,600.

There are plenty of big names in town, a couple of Team PokerStars Pros and we have some exciting announcements coming later today which will be of great interest to Australian and New Zealand poker fans. Stay tuned for more details!

Day 1a of the APPT Queenstown $3,000 Main Event kicks off at 12:30pm local time, and we look forward to your company throughout the week.
