The Guardsman Reviews

Drinks were over priced. Considering they make money from gambling, you would atleast expect friendly service but I was repeatedly snubbed by staff while trying to order drinks.

This review is only for food. It was ok. Kind of cheap. Cheaper if you get a free membership

It's sketchy as. But it's a casino, are you expecting anything less?

It's a Casino!! Enjoyed the meal, didn't get to "play" as we were on our way to Shania Twain concert ex railway station!

Good place to eat, new design with various restaurants in it

THIS PLACE IS AWSOME! Am in Adelaide for the weekend and I was expecting some crappy old casino but it's definitely not that! Really nice layout and doesn't feel cramped. The Bars are really nice with different themes everywhere. Cool Pims courtyard. Nice tables to play on (still didn't win tho). You could go here and have a drink and not gamble. Heaps of places to eat with different food. Definitely check this place out if you're in Adelaide.

Nice refurbished casino in an old building with food outlets and gaming

Always a good night, but better if you come away winning

Fantastic facilities for lifelong debt, damage and despair.

Sad to see it! Just sad people staring at screen dark and unpleasent.

Not the place it used to be
Couple rude staff
Limited machine's

Great food, great place to stay cool. Love some of the pokies

Bouncers are very poor. Why have an event if you don't let people in.

Did not like the music it was so loud. Saw four people leave beause of it. Put relaxing type music on. You could also have better service for coffee etc.

2 hrs to bring out a small pizza. Was good pizza tho.

Until the new part is build being out in the smoking part is very loud and noisy with the construction going on

There is a very exciting place. It is full of funny devices.

I image this place would be great. I only needed a toilet.

Great location. Lovely coffee break after a night out.

Impressive to see how people spend $ 100 in minutes ...

Disgusting and dangerous place with mostly rude and/or incompetent bar tenders. Would give 0 stars if that was an option. Only redeeming factor is that there are a few regulars that drink and smoke in the back area who are incredibly friendly and wise in their own weird ways.

Didn't like having to feed $1 coins instead of a $50 note. But good result on chocolate wheel.

Impressed with the staff working here. Very friendly and polite. Thank u so much.

This place was ok, doormen were the friendliest as the other staff on the floor just looked ya up and down. Anyway ok for a visit but don't waste ya money, it's not that amazing.

I've always had great times here, security staff are right on the money, especially when some clown threw drinks at the bar staff. All the staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended if you want to relax for a couple of hours, have a coffee or beverage and absorb the atmosphere. Bring back the flamingo girls!

Will get arthritis from trying to put a pineapple through the pokies with coins

One of the best nights out you can have in Adelaide CBD

Used to be worthwhile before they closed the smorgasbord

Worst Casino in Australia. Went to the casino tonight. Got a bad attitude from the security. A lady security let a group of Australians in without checking their identifications but decided to check mine and was denied entry on a wednesday morning just because my identification was in the process of renewal, which i had other identifications to show the validity of my identification. Got a rude comment from her saying that an identification recognised by the police is not valid at this casino. Remember to bring an identification that the casino recognised as they may not allow you entry even if you bring one that the police deem valid.

The staff is very polite. It is free for all 25 minutes. Everyone has a lottery for the admission.

11 at night could not find a open place for a coffee. Went to a bar and stood waiting while 1 person tried to serve a lot and 2 others stood talking. We left!!!

Love the chandeliers and had a delicious High Tea but the cup of tea was another matter with a cup of water cooling then a teabag dangled in it. I will go again but order coffee.

Amazing interior decor, so much to play and very handy location

We come on holiday here the Adelaide casino was great

I went their tonight, as a customer it wasnt a fun or a nice experience, it was awkward and annoying. There was no identifiable staff to guide ur experience. I was thirsty nearly the whole time i was there, even tho i planed on spending a good amount on drinks , my only relief was when i stopped playing blackjack to go and get a drink myself on two occasions. Surely u make enough money that customers dont have to wait long for drinks. Anytime i won money in the pokies at the front i had to travel right to the back to get the cash, which was about 50m away. Not a good setup or enjoyable even tho i walked out several hundred dollars better off. i dont see a reason why id comeback

Awesome night so drunk, lost so much money on black jack but then won it all back only to spend it all on more alcohol great venue friendly staff and excellent service

Whilst waiting for our train we had a little time to kill so we went to the casino. (prior to Covid19)
I don't particularly like casino's at all but the layout of the Adelaide casino has a nice atmosphere.
My husband played one machine and tripled the money he'd put in so in effect that paid for our dinner.
It's nice that there's multiple restaurants to choose from and live music if wanting to dance or simply enjoy the vibe.

I don't like the new pokie machines they would be better off having a series of live local bands of different genre of music, in different areas and concentrate on making it an all aussie themed venue. Like having a sports bar dedicated to Bradman for cricket, live music with Aussie greatest hits, a cafe with Aussie bbq, even crocodile Dundee bar... come on Aussie come on... we are not asia...boring...

Good for meeting people before going to Adelaide oval.

For a small city casino it's the perfect place for small time to baller gamblers. If you're addicted to gambling you'll be at home here, until you're homeless. Open 24/7.

I haven't been there for a while. Seems to be turning into a glorified pub, with all the pokie machines, and very few table games. Decor looks dated.

Very small, restraunts not open late at night and porn selection of gambling options

Fantastic casino. The VIP section is amazing and so are the staff but sad to say down stairs needs a lot of work to bring it in line with other casinos in Australia. Over all it's a great casino.

When the casino was first opened it was a classy place with a strict dress code and a place to celebrate milestone life events with friends. You could also play 2-up, a uniquelly Australian game which is only legally able to be played on Anzac day each year. The restaurants and buffets were amazing

Fast forward to today, 2020, and it has become a bogan paradise; food is below par, no 2-up, a dress code for the greater unwashed, basically it has no redeeming features, my visit was a total let down and I suggest you walk past it and pay no attention as there are better places to visit in Adelaide.

Only ate prior to a Show. Service was quick and friendly.

Barossa Cafe. Great meeting place, good service and grest coffee

Horrible tired depressing place with nasty food. Never again.
