The Guardsman Reviews

Too many poker machines taking money from those that can least afford it and you don't care.

Of all casinos in Australia this is the worst. More like an rsl feel than a casino. Games inside were good but the venue does not feel like a casino.

What an absolute dive. Very bad ambience. Would not recommend and the customer service is appealing.

Great live music Thursday Friday and Saturday night awesome drink specials. And maybe win a little

It's a nice & comfortable place. I had a pleasant experience.

Old heritage building has some good bars under going renovations.

I've just moved to Adelaide a few months ago, I've found the state to be great, except it's lack of good food. I was hoping the advertised "back better then ever" meant it was good, so we got a babysitter and went out for the night.
What a massive let down, dry food, small selection and desserts, yuck! The environment felt like a school detention hall.

Maybe coming from Sydney and Melbourne I just expect a little better but there's no real excuse Adelaide is just as nice and should have the same standards.
Final message GO TO MACDONALDS at least you know what crap your getting first.

Tiny condensed area of people suffering depression. Stay away for your own sake.

The upstairs buffet was closed before, and now the new one is not good.

Was a really nice, elegant little casino a couple of decades ago. Now just a typical slot machine venue with a couple of table games here & there.

Excellent service. Just very good people. I thank VIP Manager Mujgan and her team. Thank you very much. Wish you all the very best.

Once was a great entertainment casino, now is in need of revamp and updating. Bars are ok but with so many local options, there is no compelling reason to drink or eat here except for the lunch specials.

Had a terrific time with good money in my pocket. Missed out on winning any of the three cars that were available just for being there.

The 'cas' is ok, but not really a great casino and beer selection in the sports bar unless you like pirate life

Disheveled and the poker machines don't pay the same as anywhere

First time I've been to the casino.. the atmosphere was very intense but it was nye

Hard to judge the casino as it's constantly changing so when renovations are all complete will have another go .

Nice architecture due to being part of railway station. Nice place to have a beer and listen to some live music. Annoying you can't use notes on the machines

It had an okay atmosphere, security guys at front entrance are not welcoming at all. Not like Auckland where they are smiling and welcoming.
Mostly old people go here and is not recommended for a younger crowd.

How disappointing, all the comfy chairs have been removed and you can't even sit and chat for a while, back to the hotels for us, you can even get a free soft drink there.

Really was not impressed with their lack of covid prep the place was packed and nobody enforcing social distancing.

Won 150 bucks the first time I went there but lost 200 bucks afterwards. I like to watch people playing with different expressions and they may win a fortune in the beginning but eventually they lost all their capital. So many middle-aged Chinese playing there, which is quite impressive.

Licence to print money. Beverage staff were rude and ignored customers however drinks were surprisingly well priced

Good place for food and drink, while attending an event at the Adelaide Oval.

Food was 7 cold Chip's very poor would not eat there again order chicken with mushroom sauce did not see any mushroom just gravy salad OK

Its a great casino, comparative amongst Australia's best ones. With rhe newesy stage being currently built it will be the best one in the country.

The place was packed and there were long lines. Absolutely crazy. Not in a hurry to go back.

The music over the speakers are too loud... Very disturbing, other than that the service staff helpful and good.

I just love this place. I like those boys that do all the race around stuff. You can pull a slot handle and eat those big old plates of ribs at the same time. The manager, little stumpy I think is his name, couldn t be nicer. I really like that upper level parking, but be advised there is no valet. Mostly I like the big hall where we all sit and look at a big screen to,see if we are a bunch of losers or winners. Apparently we are losers as the booze makes us happy, but no one ever wins. I like the red rib sauce the best. I never wipe my face after eating. I just leave that sauce on til the next meal. Yum yum. This place just can t be beat.

Could give members more access to non alcoholic drinks .current limit for members is stingy.

Was not happy as we did not know it's a members only thing on Friday and Saturday night does not say that on there web site

Today the temperature will reach 44 degs and the casino offered everyone coming in a free ice-cream cup. I nice gesture on a very hot day

Disappounted in the changes in the menu at the cafe junction it used to be packed last night it was nearly empty so there must be a lot of others disappointed as well

Went for lunch, special of the day was fish and chips $27.00 for two, a small beer and white wine another$17. 50. Verdict.... rubbish, fish grey and overcooked or over heated. Chips dry. Will not be going back.

Really liked the new look. Spent a couple of hours wandering around, drinking, eating & of course having a gamble. Looking forward to going again.

Black people not allowed there! My speech does not not Australian! I walk to slow (I am not tall and I finished worked late), I smell like alcohol I was told.
I am guilty of making 1.8k the day before.

This place is rigged i tell ya. A joke. Go there for a good time, go in at 3 in the arvo for a good time walk out at 4 in the morning with no money. Turn it up! You're a usless bunch at this joint.
Could go for a joint actually after being in this place. Sick of your casino rubbish.
Pingaz, Lucy Koelga likes pills

LoveThis place but only go with my girlfriend when we have something to celabrate like birthdays ect but we always seem to come home winning a little more than we went with goody goody

Come here only if you have nothing to do at home, other wise play smart.

Odds are lower than the industry standard. South Australian poker machines are concentrated in this single mega venue. Low betting gamblers, e.g. Black Jack tables pay even money rather than the card gambling industry standard of 1.5 times your bet. This gives the Adelaide Casino a significant win.

Don't need to say much really. Well mannered dealers, bartenders, and valet staff.

Great way to earn some quick bucks to spend it on the strip club next door.

Great bar and attractive atmosphere here. Lots of pokies and enjoyable table.

Great place to have a drink and lose some money lol

Review updated 4/2/18

Best buffet i wreckon in adelaide review updated as they got rid of the seafood buffet perminetly pitty

A tired, scrappy layout (they change it around every year or so) and low standard of dress. Fun for a shortwhile (<1hr) every few years, more for people watching. By midnight on a Saturday there are lots of drunks outside and inside many gaming tables are still closed. To have a flutter we had to: find an ATM to withdraw cash, go to a machine to convert to smaller notes, go to another machine to get issued an electronic money card, then on a machine choose how much to transfer to the machine from the card, then choose bet amount then number of rows, and THEN you can have your 15 minutes of fun. Not good for casual visits.

Not much to do in Adelaide. Burn your money in a pot or take it here.

Not really into casinos but this is pretty decent considering the size of Adelaide.

Four of us went for dinner at the Fortuna Buffet on Saturday evening. We were impressed with the selection of food, including a fresh seafood bar, a fresh salad bar, freshly cooked vegetable with a mix of international cuisine, including Roast and a fresh dessert bar that included the Pavlova and Brandy Snaps. It was clean and it had a great feeling. The staff were helpful and polite. The only negative, is the one-and-half hour limit to dine that dampens the relaxing feeling while dining. It would be better if they extend that timing to Two Hours for a more relaxing dining experience.
