Crown is notable for the fact it did not follow the American Casino model whereby the gaming floors are located at the entrance, rather it can be a family venue and teenage hangout due to the gaming floors being enclosed.

Crown provides several traditional casino games including Blackjack, Baccharat, and Roulette but it was also the founder of an electronic version of Roulette known as Rapid Roulette. Rapid Roulette is essentially the same as traditional roulette but rather than players placing bets on a layout, all gaming takes place on a personal electronic touch screen connected to a central roulette wheel. The benifit of this is the player has easy access to the entire betting layout, and due to the electronic nature of the game, it is both fast and accurate. Rapid Roulette has been in use for several years, and recently Rapid Bigwheel and Rapid Sicbo have been developed. There are currently plans for a workable Rapid Blackjack model.
