Yesterday marked 25 years since the opening of the first casino in Sydney - Sydney Harbour Casino. It would act as a temporary casino until Star City Casino (renamed The Star) opened in 1997.
It was opened by (Acting) Prime Minister Kim Beazley on September 13 1995.
The location was almost directly opposite the current site of The Star - Wharves 12 & 13 at Darling Wharf which is currently home to office and apartment blocks.
Below is coverage from its opening night (and morning). 14 000 punters had visited within hours of the doors opening to the public.
Below are two advertisements relating to its opening - both were full page advertisements. The first advertisement was published in The Daily Telegraph Mirror on September 13 1995 with the second advertisement published in the same newspaper on September 16 1995. The second advertisement promoted transport options for patrons.
