Crown Casino Limited faces an unsure future after the launch of an inquiry by the Eastern New South Wales gaming regulatory agencies. The inquiry will seek to determine whether the local casino operator has acted in contravention of its license conditions. Crown Casino has sold approximately 20 percent of its stake to its Asian partner, Melco Resorts and Entertainment Limited.<\/p>\n
The New South Wales Liquor and Gaming Authority announced that the investigation would determine whether the deal breaches the license terms of Crown Casino. Former judge, Patricia Bergin is serving as the investigation head and will determine if Crown Casino or its subsidiary are still entitled to their Barangaroo license.<\/p>\n
The Barangaroo casino, which is still under construction near the Sydney Harbour Bridge, is an important project for Crown as its intention was to attract international casino buffs to Australia.\u00a0 There is now a chance that this venue may never open its door to the public.<\/p>\n
Star, Crown casino\u2019s main competitor, will be keeping a close watch on this inquiry as Patricia Bergin will also be examining the suitability of the licensing laws of New South Wales in a changing environment.<\/p>\n
