Counsel assisting the NSW inquiry into the suitability of Crown Resorts to operate Sydney's new Barangaroo casino summed up this week by telling the commissioner that Crown was 'not a suitable person to continue to give effect to the licence, and that Crown Resorts is not a suitable person to be a close associate of the licensee'.
Plans to reopen Crown Resorts' Melbourne casino will be put on hold as the city is forced into its second lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Victoria's premier Daniel Andrews announced the measures in an aim to prevent a second wave of the COVID-19 virus.

Adam Bell SC reached the conclusion after considering the deleterious impact on the good governance of Crown Resorts caused by its dominant shareholder [James Packer's Consolidated Press Holdings] and, ultimately, Packer.
He reminded the inquiry that protection of the public interest was a key objective of the NSW Casino Control Act.
The Barangaroo casino is yet to open, but Crown already operates two other Australian casinos – one in Melbourne and one in Perth – and one in London.
The Melbourne casino has been the centre of multiple whistle-blower and other allegations connected with tampering with gambling machines, associations with criminal identities, and the arrest of 19 Crown staff in China in 2016.

The Sydney inquiry was initiated after the Nine network and The Age and Sydney Morning Herald published allegations about money laundering and links with criminals.
A tale of two cities
The Melbourne regulator, the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, acted more quietly, initiating a still-uncompleted inquiry into the arrest of Crown staff in China in 2017, and putting its inquiry into the money laundering allegations on hold until it had seen the outcome of the NSW inquiry.
Belatedly, last month, a full eight months after the NSW hearings began, it issued Crown with a 'show cause' notice relating to money laundering controls.

The state government had asked it to act as 'a matter of priority' in mid-2019.
In 2017, Victoria's auditor-general identified serious issues relating to the VCGLR's oversight of Crown.
It highlighted a 'lack of leadership', the second-lowest staff satisfaction levels in the Victorian public sector, a lack of a 'coherent organisation-wide approach to casino supervision', and insufficient attention to key areas of risk in the casino's operations, including money laundering.
In its five-yearly review of Crown's licence in 2018, the VCGLR identified some concerns.
The concerns involved compliance with money laundering rules, the lack of engagement of independent directors with an oversight of the Melbourne casino, an uninspiring adoption of the responsible gambling rules, and a less-than-complete honouring of requests for self-exclusion.
It nevertheless concluded that it was in the public interest for Crown to maintain its licence.
Fines rather than sanctions
Fines have been the VCGLR's preferred means of dealing with breaches of licence conditions.

In 2018, it fined Crown A$300,000 for gambling machine tampering, and $25,000 in 2018 for a breach of junket rules.
It said it believed fines were enough in the light of Crown's 'past compliance history and general and specific deterrence, balanced against the level of cooperation, remorse, contrition and corrective action taken by Crown'.

Too big to touch?
It might be that Crown has become too big to regulate, at least in Victoria.

The Victorian regulator's slow and overly respectful approach might be because it felt Crown was too important to be held to account, or had too many political connections, or was too important as an employer or contributor to government revenue.
Or it might be because, as the auditor suggested, it has problems with staff.
But if we are to have any faith in Victoria's ability to regulate gambling and crime, it'll need to do more. NSW is showing how.
