Slot Cards and Room Key from Australia

The Star City "Lotus Pond" is a room key. Sorry I was unable to get duplicates. They have several different cards, but the desk clerk would let me have only one, guess I should be appreciative.

The Blue players card, "Total Star" is from Star City in Sydney. They have three different levels, but was unable to get the higher levels. I have two extra to sell/trade. This casino has slot machines and a large poker room. No Limit is very popular.

The Senator's Club card came from the Canberra Casino in their capitol city. No duplicates, this casino is very small and has only table games, no slot machines. Sorry, no extras.

The Victoria Hotel is from the small town of Wagga Wagga (pop 60,000). Pubs are allowed to have "pokies" aka slot machines, mostly 1 cent with multiple lines, but usually only a dozen machines. Most pubs I visited didn't have players cards. One Rugby club had cards, but charged a $10 fee. This small pub, no longer a hotel, had free cards and was able to get one.

These pokies still pay off in coins, only in $1 denominations, and not in TITO. If your payoff is less than one dollar you can't cash it out, you have to play it off. It took me a while to figure it out. When I won 1.55, I was paid my original dollar in coin, but had to play off the 55 cents. The machines accepted $1 coins or paper $5 and up.

Australia is a beautiful country, similar to California and the people are genuinely friendly.
