Mindil Beach Casino Resort

Established in 1979, Mindil Beach Casino Resort opened as Don Casino at the Don Hotel on Cavenagh Street as the first casino in Darwin and the second in AU. A couple of years later, in 1983 the license was transferred to Mindil Beach Casino, and the property was acquired by the Northern Territory Government, along with Alice Springs Casino.

Two years later, the venue was renamed Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino. It used to operate under that name until 1995 when it was acquired by MGM Grand and rebranded to MGM Grand Darwin.

However, that’s not where the identity alterations ended as SkyCity Group acquired ownership of the casino and changed the name to SKYCITY Darwin. In 2019, SKYCITY Darwin became part of the Delaware North portfolio of unique gaming and resort properties, which resulted in another rebranding, this time to Mindil Beach Casino Resort.

Packed with more than 600 state-of-the-art gaming machines, this property offers top-quality entertainment to all profiles of consumers. With the machines' denominations ranging from 1 cent to $1, the floor is suitable for versatile budgets.

Taking a look at the entire property, it is evident that the concept was organized with visitors in mind.

Entertainment/Nightlife

If you feel like relaxing and chilling instead of exploring gaming machines, no problem, Mindil Beach Casino Resort has got you covered as well. For example, in Sportsbar, you can grab an ice-cold beer on tap and enjoy the world’s greatest sporting events live.

Sandbar holds the reputation as “hands-down the best place for sunset and cocktails”, where you can treat yourself to champagne, award-winning cocktails, and top-shelf whiskey while listening to the most talented NT’s musicians. Lagoon Bar, “where tropical bliss meets poolside chic”, has an authentic tropic ambiance.

In addition to this, the property has a couple of event options suitable for a diversity of occasions. Birthdays, celebrations, weddings, business conferences, meetings, and major community events along with festivals and outdoor concerts, and balls are just some of the numerous types of events that can be organized within the complex.

Reward Deals

Like every sophisticated gambling complex, Mindil Beach Casino Resort has a fancy Rewards Program with benefits called Lucky North®Club. Every time they play or dine, players earn points. It’s important to note that they are earned by playing on gaming machines, table games, and automated table games, but the turnover rate differs.

By acquiring points, consumers gradually advance through rankings- Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond, and Black Diamond. Tiers are evaluated every six months- on June 1 and December 1. The accompanying benefits include redeemable points, free play rewards, restaurant offers, exclusive gift giveaways, privileged support services, and more.

The official website of the resort features relevant Terms and Conditions regarding the club membership and rules, so players are advised to check it from time to time.
