Most Melbourne rooms are still under the hundred-game line that this site uses for rankings, and the ones above it are only just over. Expect these numbers to move more than any others on the site.
Several rooms here also run in Perth or Sydney, so as the games add up Melbourne will show how a new copy of a familiar room compares. For now the data is too young to draw that line.
