Looking at the case of The Star Sydney, it’s apparently not enough to allow more than A$900 million to pass through the casino in contravention of anti-money-laundering rules. So what does a casino have to actually do to lose its licence? Yet not one casino has had to close its doors. This is progress of a kind from the new casino regulator, established this year to replace the former Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority in light of that agency’s regulatory failings.īut it raises obvious questions about the upshot of all the other casino inquiries – in NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland – that have found Star Entertainment and Crown Resorts unfit or unsuitable to hold casino licences.
NSW Independent Casino Commission chief Philip Crawford announced actions against Star Entertainment on Monday, October 17 2022.
