Our Verdict
The Final Word
After a full evening at COMO The Treasury, here is our editorial assessment of Golden Spade Society.
4.5 / 5 — Highly Recommended
Atmosphere
Gaming Experience
Dining & Beverage
Venue & Service
Golden Spade Society succeeds where many themed events fall short: it feels authentic. The croupiers are genuinely skilled, the COMO ballroom provides an unmatched backdrop, and the distinction between membership tiers is meaningful rather than cosmetic. The Gold Member experience offers the best balance of indulgence and value — though "value" here means the richness of the evening, not a price tag.
Minor note: the Member tier's dining is lighter than advertised in promotional materials, so arrive with appetite managed accordingly. Otherwise, this is Perth's standout black-tie entertainment event of 2026 — sophisticated, responsible, and thoroughly memorable.

FAQ
Your Questions Answered
No. Golden Spade Society is a live entertainment event, not a licensed casino. All gaming uses play chips with zero monetary value — they cannot be exchanged for cash or prizes. Our reviewers found the gaming thoroughly entertaining and entirely risk-free.
Black Tie / Formal. Tuxedos, evening gowns, cocktail dresses and formal suits are welcome. Smart casual will not be permitted. The venue's heritage interiors demand an equally refined dress standard — and guests overwhelmingly rise to the occasion.
Valid government-issued photo ID (18+) is required at the door. Accepted: Australian driver's licence, passport, or proof-of-age card. Entry will be refused without valid ID — the organisers enforce this strictly and without exception.
COMO The Treasury offers valet parking. Public transport is highly recommended — the venue is a 5-minute walk from Perth Underground Station. Rideshare drop-off is available directly outside the hotel entrance.
Based on our review, Gold Member offers the most complete experience — priority entry, a superb dinner, lounge access, and enough play chips for a full evening at the tables. Platinum is for guests who want maximum exclusivity; Member suits those focused on the gaming floor and live entertainment.
Absolutely. Croupiers are patient with beginners and happy to explain the rules at every table. Because play chips have no real value, the atmosphere is relaxed and social rather than high-pressure — making it one of the most approachable casino-style events in Perth.
