Australia's first table player's card. This card dates
back to the early 1980's when Federal Pacific Hotels and Casinos was
Australia's only casino operator. The company had 2 casinos in Tasmania
and 2 casinos in the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory Government
compulsorily acquired the Alice Springs Federal and Mindil Beach Federal
in1984. |
The information shown on the back of this card is the
key indicator to the age of this card. Federal Pacific only operated these
4 casinos for a short period of time. Their first casino was Wrest Point
opening in 1973 followed by Darwin in 1979 and Alice Springs and
Launceston in 1981. Alice Springs and Darwin were acquired by the Northern
Territory Government in 1984 which is the key indicator to the age of this
card. |
