Regulators in Australia are initiating a probe into Crown Casino’s Adelaide venue following a shocking investigation into the Star Entertainment Group in Sydney. The Sydney inquiry revealed proof of illicit finance, connections to criminal enterprises, and extensive wrongdoing, ultimately leading to the departure of Star’s chief executive.
This recent examination indicates a resolve to address widespread problems within the Australian casino sector. Retired Supreme Court Justice Brian Martin, recognized for his meticulous inquiries into criminal justice issues, will spearhead the effort. The investigation seeks to guarantee Crown Adelaide functions with probity and openness, a crucial concern following the damaging disclosures about its counterpart in Sydney.
The gravity of this inquiry is emphasized by the Gaming and Liquor Commissioner’s declaration, stressing the necessity of regaining public confidence in Adelaide’s casino.
A report on SkyCity is anticipated from Martin by the Liquor and Gambling Commission no later than February 1, 2023.
Although SkyCity’s gaming endeavors, especially in New Zealand, have shown positive performance and efforts to recover financially from the COVID-19 pandemic, it appears some lingering issues necessitate additional scrutiny.
