Age limit: the casino room is for adults

Nothing online, nothing for the young

There is no way to play at Wollemi Hall from a telephone or a computer. The tables exist only in the room upstairs. That means the age rule can be checked by a person, face to face, which is the best check there is, and the one the hall prefers to any form on a screen.

Why eighteen is firm

Cards and roulette are games for adults, even when they are played on chips without money value. The hall chooses to treat the room as an adult space because its conversation, its pace and its hours suit adults, and because a clear rule is easier for everyone than a flexible one.

What happens at the top of the stairs

Chloe Gardner or another member of the floor staff asks to see a photograph card, glances at it and returns it. No details are copied or kept. The whole exchange takes about as long as saying good evening, and most guests say they barely notice it. Those who are asked twice in one night simply smile.

What the website does

The notice that appeared when you opened this site asks only whether you are 18 or over. It is a courtesy, not a check, and it stores one note in your browser so the question is not repeated on every page. The real check is made at the door, in person.

Questions about the age limit

If you are unsure whether the rule applies to your party, telephone the host before you come. She will explain it kindly and suggest the best way for the whole group to spend an evening. The dining room downstairs is open to guests of all ages.
