Alice Springs Casino
Alice Springs Casino operates as Lasseters on 93 Barrett Drive, and most first-timers lose time in the wrong order — they hit the gaming floor before checking the dress code, or sit down at a table before they open at 4:00 pm. This page is the sequence locals would walk you through if you asked at the Juicy Rump bar: what to wear, what to carry, where the Rewards desk sits, and how to split a group between the Sports Lounge, the restaurants and the casino without anyone getting stuck at the door.
Find Barrett Drive, then the casino entrance
The complex sits at 93 Barrett Drive, Alice Springs NT 0870 — casino, hotel, restaurants, convention centre and health and leisure facilities share the same campus. Follow signage to the casino entrance; the Lasseters Rewards service desk is at the entrance to the casino (not at the hotel front desk unless you are checking in there separately).
Large bags and briefcases must be checked in at the main desk when you enter the casino. Pack light for the gaming floor if you can — heavy bags slow entry.

Age and photo ID — non-negotiable on the gaming floor
Casino: no person under 18 is permitted entry.
Lasseters Rewards: complete the application and present valid photo identification at the service desk. Membership is free; your card is issued instantly so you can start earning on the same visit.
Dress code — what the casino actually refuses
Clothing not permitted in the casino includes:
- Hats including hoods and beanies (religious headwear is permitted)
- Clothing with offensive words, signs or slogans
- Untidy or unclean clothes — dirty, stained, torn, or anything that suggests poor personal hygiene
- Fleece tracksuit pants
- Male singlets (females may wear appropriate sleeveless tops)
Appropriate personal hygiene is assessed by Lasseters Security Personnel. Management reserves the right to refuse or approve entry at any time. Tournament or special-function dress may receive separate consideration — ask when you book.
Restaurants and bars may feel more relaxed than the casino floor, but if your plan includes pokies or tables, dress for the casino rules.
Step-by-step — one sensible first night
- Decide your anchor. Pokies: Sun–Tue 9:00 am–5:00 am · Wed–Sat 9:00 am–6:00 am. Table games: Sun–Wed 4:00 pm–1:00 am · Thu–Sat 4:00 pm–3:00 am. Juicy Rump kitchen: 11:00 am–9:30 pm daily. Match your arrival to what you actually want to do.
- Dress and pack for the casino door. No hats, no male singlet, no trackpants, no offensive slogans. Leave large bags at home or expect to check them at the main desk.
- Enter at the casino entrance. If you are playing, head to the Lasseters Rewards service desk first — application plus photo ID, card in hand before you touch a machine.
- Choose your area.
- Sports Lounge — TAB, Keno, live sport on screen.
- Main floor — electronic gaming machines and, from 4:00 pm, American Roulette and Blackjack.
- Members Lounge — only if you are Platinum, Diamond or Diamond Plus, or a hotel guest.
- Play with your card in.
- Electronic games: insert the card in the reader, confirm it is accepted, then play — points accrue automatically.
- Table games: hand your card to the croupier at a designated table.
- Eat or drink without rushing the floor. Tali, Juicy Rump, Tempo, Casbah and Splash Cafe are steps away. Juicy Rump stays open late on Fri–Sat; live music on the deck from 7:00 pm on those nights.
- Cash out and leave when you planned to. Ask a Gambling Liaison Officer on the floor if you want responsible gambling information — your privacy and confidentiality are assured.
- Ring ahead next time.Public holidays and events shift hours — check What's On on site or call 08 8950 7777.
Three first-visit tracks (pick one)
Dinner and sport, no gambling
Book a table at Juicy Rump or Tali, and watch sport in the Sports Lounge if the group wants atmosphere. You still need to respect venue age rules where they apply; the casino floor itself remains 18+.
Pokies afternoon, tables at night
Arrive after 9:00 am for electronic gaming with your Rewards card inserted. Tables from 4:00 pm — Sun–Wed until 1:00 am, Thu–Sat until 3:00 am; American Roulette and Blackjack on the main floor.
Hotel guest with lounge access
Check in through the hotel. In-house guests may use the Members Lounge — 54 electronic games, private bar, food and beverage service — subject to the same dress and entry rules.
Conduct on licensed premises
The dress-regulations poster also references the Liquor Act 2019 (NT) — patrons who are violent, quarrelsome, disorderly, incapable of controlling their behaviour, disrupting business or interfering with others may be required to leave. Refusing is an offence. Keep that in mind if the night runs long.
