The staircase at the back of the main floor leads somewhere most guests never see: a mezzanine with twenty machines, its own bounty bar and a noise level about a third of the floor below. This is the VIP lounge, and it is the club's worst-kept secret.
Twenty machines, chosen monthly
The lounge floor holds twenty units that rotate on a monthly cycle. Our floor managers pick them for one criterion: payout rhythm. Machines that run long droughts stay downstairs. What remains is a floor that plays smoothly, which is exactly what a three-hour session demands.
What the ticket includes
The $149 entry covers a three-hour window, a welcome token flight worth $40 of play, cloak service and the attention of a dedicated host. The host is the actual product here. They brief each machine, keep your tokens flowing, run your redemption trips to the bar and disappear completely when you are in the zone.
The private bounty bar
The mezzanine has its own redemption counter, stocked differently from the main wall. Premium items rotate weekly: Japanese whisky, limited figures, electronics and occasionally pieces we can only describe as ridiculous. Members see the restock list in the newsletter before the wall does.
Who the lounge is for
Three crowds keep the seats full. Executives who want two quiet hours between the office and the train. Couples who want a date that is not another dinner. And serious players grinding banked counts who prefer steady machines to floor drama. If that sounds like you, the lounge access page has the booking details.
When to book
Weekday afternoons are the sleeper slots: same floor, same host, more space and the occasional midweek discount. Friday and Saturday evenings sell out four or five days ahead. Groups larger than two should look at exclusive hire, which closes the whole mezzanine for up to fourteen guests.
Key takeaways
- $149 covers a 3-hour session, welcome tokens, host and bar access.
- Machines rotate monthly and are picked for payout rhythm.
- Members pay $119, and weekday afternoons are the easiest bookings.
- Groups of three or more should consider full lounge hire instead.
Same game, same prizes, half the noise. That is the whole pitch.

Yes, members pay $119 per lounge visit, and Gold and Platinum tiers get priority booking windows.
Absolutely. The host runs a full induction, and the quiet floor is honestly a gentler place to learn than the main hall.
