## Adelaide’s Crown Casino Under Examination as South Australia Initiates Autonomous Inquiry
In the wake of the shocking investigation into Sydney’s Star Entertainment and the ensuing departure of its chief executive, Matt Bekier, South Australia is taking measures. The state’s gaming authority has declared an independent assessment of the practices at Adelaide’s Crown Casino. This decision arises amidst escalating worries about widespread difficulties within the casino sector, underscored by the “serious shortcomings” revealed in the recent Crown Resorts inquiry.
Retired Supreme Court Justice Brian Martin will head the examination, charged with guaranteeing Crown Adelaide is functioning in accordance with the standards expected of casino license holders in South Australia.
Liquor and Gaming Commissioner Dini Soulio stressed that the matters raised extend beyond a solitary operator, indicating broader challenges within the industry. He conveyed complete faith in Justice Martin’s capacity to produce a thorough report. This report, Soulio anticipates, will reassure South Australians that Adelaide’s casino operates ethically.
Its anticipated that Martin will brief the gaming authority on SkyCity’s performance, likely during January 2023.
SkyCity faced difficulties amidst the pandemic due to widespread closures and limitations. However, they experienced a significant recovery by June 2022, particularly their casino operations in New Zealand.
