Darlinghurst's dozen gaming venues concentrate along Oxford Street — five on the strip itself, including Kinselas in the old funeral chapel and the Oxford Hotel on Taylor Square — with the rest scattered toward William Street. Floors here run smaller than the NSW maximum: Kinselas, the Gaslight Inn and the Colombian each hold about 25 machines.
Kings Cross station is a few minutes' walk from the suburb's northern edge and Museum station serves the Oxford Street end, with the strip's buses filling the gaps — you can cover every gaming venue in the suburb on foot in an afternoon.
All twelve venues are hotels bound by NSW's 30-machine cap, and Darlinghurst's late-night trading history made it exactly the kind of precinct affected when the state revoked shutdown exemptions in April 2026 — machines here now rest 4am–10am like everywhere else in NSW.
