Two men and a woman linked to the Rebels outlaw bikie gang have been charged over a brawl at a Sydney casino, police say.

Two groups of patrons used glasses and chairs as weapons when the fight broke out at Star City casino early on Sunday.

When security staff threw them out, the brawl involving 20 men and women continued in the street outside until police arrived just after 1.30am (AEST).

Police, with help from the riot squad, brought the brawl under control, arresting 10 men and a woman, while others fled the scene.

It is alleged six of the men, aged between 22 and 35, as well as the woman, have links to the Rebels.

The 26-year-old woman from Shalvey, in Sydney's west, was charged with affray and bailed to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on May 5.

A 20-year-old man from Punchbowl and a 21-year-old from Riverwood, also in the city's west, were also charged with affray.

The pair were granted bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on May 4.

Police released without charge another six men allegedly linked to the Rebels pending further inquiries and a review of CCTV footage.

Another two men, both aged 20, were also released without charge.

A crime scene was established at the Pyrmont Street casino, and several items were seized for forensic investigation.
