The NSW gaming regulator has formally requested Crown Resorts to delay plans to conduct a ’limited opening’ of its new $2.2 billion Sydney casino in December.
In an announcement to the press this afternoon, Philip Crawford of the NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority said they would rather wait until the report of the current inquiry into the gaming giant is handed down.
Embattled casino giant Crown Resorts faces an urgent review of its Melbourne operations to determine if the company should retain its casino licence, the Victorian Andrews government will announce. Victoria has by far the bulk of the Covid-19 infections and the huge Crown resort casino in Melbourne has now come under fresh protocols issued today, although it now has permission to reopen and expects to do so on December 1. SYDNEY, Nov 18 — An Australian state gambling regulator said today it was suspending the gaming licence of casino giant Crown Resorts Ltd, citing money laundering concerns, delaying the firm’s plan to open a US$1.6 billion (RM6.55 billion) resort in Sydney next month. Crown’s suitability to hold Victorian casino licence probed after money-laundering revelations A major investigation has been launched into Melbourne’s Crown Casino after explosive revelations. Josh Fagan, Rebekah Cavanagh and Tom Minear December 17, 2020 - 12:00AM.
The report is due in late January or early February 2021. The inquiry is into allegations Crown-held accounts were used for money laundering operations.

’We are hopeful that Crown Resorts will agree to our request to postpone opening of all gaming activities, which would be unable to begin without approval of these regulatory matters,’ Mr Crawford said.

’The Authority has found ongoing evidence before the Bergin Inquiry to be extremely concerning, and that any gaming activity at the casino before the Inquiry’s findings are released in February 2021 and considered by the Authority would pose unacceptable risks on the community against the public interest.
’In light of this, we did not consider it appropriate to determine the applications before the Authority until the findings of the Bergin Inquiry.’

Thousands have signed a petition for Melbourne’s Crown Casino to close amid the coronavirus outbreak, as events the city holds dear are cancelled or restricted.
Indoor gatherings over 100 have been banned, decimating Melbourne’s cafe, restaurant and live music scenes.
The Grand Prix was cancelled last weekend, and the opening round of the AFL will go ahead with no fans in the stadium.
After years of hand-wringing that political correctness would be the thing to kill comedy, in the end it was a global pandemic that led to the month-long Melbourne International Comedy Festival being cancelled for the first time in its more than 30-year history.
But at Southbank, punters are still free to tip money into Crown casino’s coffers, albeit in limited numbers.

Melburnian Thomas Jaspers, a comedian who had a show in the comedy festival before the cancellation, started the petition after he was surprised to learn the place was still open.
“The last few days my Facebook feed has just been full of things getting cancelled, entertainment venues of all different sizes,” he told news.com.au.
“All my friends were posting their gigs had been cancelled. Someone saw Crown was still open. I thought that can’t be right.”
He said Crown shouldn’t be exempt while events that draw similar crowds are forced to cancel.
“Absolutely not. Melbourne Symphony Orchestra had a concert in a 2600-seat theatre on Monday, they cancelled it … I don’t see why we’re making an exemption for Crown, just because someone’s not performing on a stage.”
The MSO ended up livestreaming that concert and hopes to stream more in the future while the gathering bans are in place.
Thomas also made it clear his motivations were about public health, not some vendetta against gambling.
“I’ve had fun at Crown. I’ve played the pokies there; I don’t hate gambling.”
But as health experts, and indeed the Government, tells Australians to avoid gathering, he’s run out of alternative reasons for the casino staying open.
“The only plausible explanation is, we know a lot of money goes to the Government and that Crown casino has a huge sway in politics, that’s why Daniel Andrews has been quiet on this subject. We’re not seeing the leadership we’re used to in this case.”

“While places like Crown continue to operate the virus is going to continue to spread. It doesn’t mean the entire Crown complex needs to be closed, but the gaming room, function spaces – it’s not necessary, it’s not essential.”
He also thinks people visiting Crown from interstate pose another risk of spreading the virus when they return to their communities.
“Crown casino is a place where a lot of people visit. If they are coming to that central point and going home, they’re taking it back … it’s really just a little melting pot we can easily close.”
Social distancing aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus has already largely shut down the rest of one of Australia’s biggest cities.
“Melbourne is eerie,” Jaspers said. “I’ve been walking into work to avoid public transport, but I’ve been watching trams go past with two or three people in the middle of peak hour,” he said, describing the sight as “absolutely bizarre”.
“Bourke St mall was the emptiest I’ve seen it ever. It’s like walking around on a Sunday morning except people aren’t stumbling out of pubs.”

Nearly 17,000 people have signed the petition at time of writing, with a goal to get to 25,000.
Of course an online petition isn’t really legally binding.
But Jaspers is optimistic it can achieve results, and said he still has faith in at least one of the parties named in the petition.
“I don’t know if Crown Casino will listen but I think the state government has a good track record of listening to Victorians and I do believe Daniel Andrews cares about the state and what people feel and what people believe,” Jaspers said.
Crown announced to the ASX on Thursday morning that it has revised its social distancing policies for its two Australian casinos in Melbourne and Perth.
The number of people allowed in individual food and beverage, banqueting and conference facilities has been lowered from 450 to 100.
Earlier announced policies include turning off every second pokie machine, forcing seated players to distance themselves and stopping people standing to watch, and limiting the number of players at stand-up games like craps and roulette to five.
Those policies remain in place and have been approved by the relevant state governments.
Earlier, Crown also announced it would provide 14 days of additional paid leave to any employees impacted by coronavirus.
This includes employees who contract it, have contact with a confirmed case, or who need to look after a family member who has contracted it.
Crown was contacted to comment but is yet to respond.
