Free poker online for Canberra

Free poker online in Canberra is one browser tab away: Anubis City seats you at a Texas Hold’em table with real people, and the same pixel-art Egyptian city has free pokies, bingo, blackjack and roulette. The chips are debens, which the game hands out for nothing and which are worth nothing outside it, so a bad river costs you pride and no more.

A lot of Canberrans came here from somewhere else — for the public service, for ANU or the University of Canberra, for a posting at an embassy. The people you used to play cards with are often in Sydney, Melbourne or another country. A private table brings them back: you open it, send one link, and they sit down from wherever they are. Only the host needs a saved character; everyone else can come in as a guest.

Canberra keeps Sydney time, so after dinner here it is morning or midday in Europe, and weeknight tables lean on AI players (they wear an “AI” tag, so you always know). The capital also has its own entry in the City of the Week race. A city’s score is the experience its ten best players earned over the last seven days — population doesn’t come into it, so ten keen regulars can put Canberra above Sydney. How the rest of the country is doing is on the Australia page.
