Australia.-\u00a0Authorities in South Australia<\/strong>\u00a0have requested submissions from industry, stakeholders, and other interested parties regarding the operations of SkyCity Casino. Earlier this month,\u00a0South Australia\u2019s Liquor and Gambling regulator<\/a>\u00a0announced an independent review of Adelaide\u2019s SkyCity casino to analyse if it was still suitable to hold its casino licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honourable Brian Martin AO QC will lead the state\u2019s investigation and report back to the liquor and gambling commissioner\u00a0Dini Soulio<\/strong>\u00a0by February 1 next year. According to a press release, anyone with information relevant to the investigation’s Terms of Reference is asked to make a submission by August 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation follows on the heels of public inquiries into first\u00a0Crown Resorts<\/a>\u00a0and most recently the Star Entertainment Group in other states. SkyCity said it would fully cooperate with the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SkyCity has also been the subject of a separate investigation by the financial crimes watchdog AUSTRAC<\/a> into possible serious violations of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws. The enforcement investigation was announced last June but has not yet been completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
