In an announcement on the new bill, attorney-general and justice minister Shannon Fentiman stated: “These reforms seek to address concerns which have emerged from the public inquiries into casinos operated by Crown Resorts in New South Wales, Victoria and WA, as well as investigations underway into the Star Entertainment Group. // ensure doAction() is called/loaded after page is ready. (function () { if (document.readyState === "complete" || (document.readyState !== "loading" && !document.documentElement.doScroll)) { doAction(); } else { document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", doAction); } function doAction() { jQuery(function ($) { if ($('input#VfQAQDaVdT_inpost_name_field').css('display') === 'none') { $('div#VfQAQDaVdT_inpost #columbine-email-field').removeClass().addClass('columbine-two-col1'); $('div#VfQAQDaVdT_inpost #columbine-submit-button').removeClass().addClass('columbine-two-col2'); } }); } })();
“As a result of the changes, there will be significant pecuniary penalties as a disciplinary action of up to AU$50m. These reforms are considered to be examples of best practice casino regulation and will be in place before the opening of the new casino at Queen’s Wharf to be operated by The Star.”
A representative from Star Entertainment Group stated that they are reviewing the details of the bill. The firm is currently in the process of launching a DON'T MISS OUT!new casino in the Queen's Wharf area of Queensland later in the year. Subscribe To Newsletter
