How to get there: Situated on the Breakwater Marina overlooking Magnetic Island. Around 1km from the city centre.
General Conditions: Formerly the Sheraton Townsville Hotel and Casino, it was aquired by Jupiters Ltd in 1999 and renamed Jupiters Townsville. A fully themed casino, supposed to reflect the relaxed north Queensland lifestyle. Table numbers are as follows:
$5-$200: 3
$10-$500: 3
The small number of tables makes card counters stick out like a sore thumb. Hopefully you will win you first few big bets and then get out of town. Currently one and a half decks are cut out of 6 decks.
