Jupiters Theatre underwent a $20 million makeover and expansion and re-opened in June, 2012.[4] The redevelopment of the theatre resulted in the capacity more than doubling to accommodate 2,000 seated or 2,300 general admission guests and the theatre viewing experience will be improved through state-of-the-art technologies and architecture.

History[edit]

Conrad Jupiters Casino opened on 22 November 1985 with 10,000 people in attendance.[5][6][7] It was included in the November 2003 merger of Jupiters with Tabcorp[8] In April 2010 it was rebranded as Jupiters Hotel & Casino.[9] In 2011 it became part of Echo Entertainment Group when Tabcorp listed its casino assets.

Jupiters Hotel & Casino made headlines in 1995 when then Brisbane Broncos Rugby League player Julian O'Neill urinated on the carpet under a black jack table on two separate occasions.[10] Both Jupiters Hotel & Casino and the Treasury Casino in Brisbane were used for money laundering by welfare recipients on behalf of organised crime syndicates, from May 2006 to November 2007.

Between 1993 and 2001, the casino was defrauded of $5.7 million when corrupt casino staff and food suppliers fabricated food orders and invoices. In 2009, a court heard that senior management tried to prevent a proper investigation and that the police major fraud squad became involved in 2003.[11]

In 2008, security staff at the casino and other venues took part in a trial of head mounted cameras which were worn over the ear. The devices were used to record video and audio evidence of incidents and raised privacy concerns due to a lack of laws regarding their use.[12] In 2009, Office of Gaming acting executive director Barry Grimes criticised the casino's internal controls and procedures relating to excluded persons gaining entry to the casino.[13]

2006 renovations[edit]

The complex underwent renovations in 2006. $53 million was spent on refurbishment of the casino.[14] The two gaming floors are now one and the size is just over double of what it was. Level Two became the brand new Gold Club room. A new restaurant, balconies, and two new bars were included in the renovation. By 2008, 442 of the hotel rooms were completely refurbished at the cost of $16 million.[14] The hotel front office and lobby bar were also renovated.

2017 expansion[edit]
