The first set of renovations at Jupiters began in 2006, two decades after it opened.

On our visits we tend to stick to the old mainstays of poker and blackjack, but they've also got roulette, craps and for those who fancy themselves the James Bond type they've even got some (mini) baccarat tables. For those primarily interested in trying their luck at games of chance, the main floor offers some 70 table games and 1600 gaming machines. Jupiters is the Gold Coast's premier nightlife entertainment destination, not only boasting the city's largest casino, but also offering a Las Vegas-esque programme of live events, concerts, comedy performances and much more, as well as a half dozen restaurants and a variety of bars.
