Gaming venues in Australia are facing intense examination following accusations of improper behavior, especially at Star Entertainment’s establishment in Sydney. Attention now shifts to Crown Casino in Adelaide, as South Australia’s gaming authority initiates an autonomous evaluation. This action follows highly critical inquiries into Crown Resorts, which exposed significant shortcomings and led to the departure of Star Entertainment’s chief executive. The assessment, led by former Supreme Court Justice Brian Martin, seeks to tackle widespread concerns within the casino sector and guarantee that Crown Adelaide functions in accordance with the expectations placed upon a South Australian casino license holder. Liquor and Gambling Commissioner, Dini Soulio, stressed that the problems reach beyond a single entity, highlighting a requirement for industry-wide transformation. He conveyed confidence in Justice Martin, recognized for his expertise in criminal justice matters, to produce a report that will strengthen public faith in the operations of Adelaide’s casino.
A presentation on SkyCity for the gambling board is anticipated from Martin in the near future. It seems the New Zealand-based SkyCity casinos experienced a very profitable period this past June. They have been working to recover from the period of closures caused by Covid.
