Casino-style evenings, hosted in the room
Our event nights pair the dining room with the back room — chef's menus, hosted poker tables and the occasional dressed-up casino evening. Everything is in-person, social and strictly 18+.
Four nights worth dressing for
Poker & Pinot
The weekly ritual — two courses, a rotating pinot flight and a hosted social poker table. The friendliest entry point we run.
High-Table Supper Club
Five chef's courses, then a seated poker tournament for twelve. The monthly trophy changes hands here.
Charity Poker Classic
Our biggest poker room of the season — entry fees go to a local cause, prizes come from our neighbours and partners.
Casino Royale Nights
Black-tie casino evenings — poker, roulette-style social games for charity chips, midnight toast and a full gala menu.
How an event night flows
Every casino evening follows the same backbone — a proper dinner first, the games second, and a slow close at the bar. You'll never be rushed between chapters.
Welcome pour, coat check and a walkthrough of the evening's format.
The event menu lands — shared courses paced for conversation.
Poker tables and social casino stations open with hosts on every game.
Winners called, prizes handed over, one last drink at the bar.
Hosts on every table
Each poker table and game station runs with a dedicated host — learn the rules as you play, no gatekeeping.
The menu is the point
Events are built around a bespoke menu — the poker never interrupts the pacing of a course.
Prizes with charm
House trophies, cellar picks and dining credit — the stakes stay friendly by design.
Dressed-up, documented
Casino Royale nights bring a photographer and a proper dress code — details land with your ticket confirmation.
A note on responsible play. All Vividjoyline events are strictly 18+. Poker and casino-style games are in-person, social and venue-based — we are not an online casino or betting platform. Set your limit before you sit down, look after your tablemates, and talk to any host if you'd like a break or a wrap on the night.
Free, confidential support is available 24/7 via Gambling Help Online.
After the last hand
What event guests say once the trophies are handed out.
"Booked the High-Table Supper for my partner's 40th — five courses, a poker tournament, and a trophy he now polishes weekly."
S. Maher — birthday event
"Half our team had never played poker. By dessert it didn't matter — the hosts made everyone feel like the table was theirs."
J. Okafor — corporate night
"Casino Royale on NYE was the most fun we've had in Canberra in years — dressed up, fed properly, home by one."
Emily & Rob — NYE guests
"The Charity Classic raised real money and still felt like a great dinner out. That's a hard balance to pull off."
L. Tran — charity guest
