The company the venue is still required to comply with social distancing rules regarding the space between gaming positions.

The Queensland government has also eased some of the operating restrictions that apply to the indoor areas of hospitality venues.

The Queensland casino will be able to turn on every gaming machine, and the maximum number of patrons per table has been increased from four to seven. 

Patrons will also be allowed to stand while eating or consuming alcohol within the venue.

“The re-opening of the Queensland border to residents of Greater Sydney and Victoria from December 1, 2020 should enhance visitation to The Star Gold Coast property.”
