A second inquiry will be held into Sydney’s Star Casino after a gaming watchdog was left unsatisfied by its progress in proving it should regain its licence.
Unlike the first inquiry in 2022, the next round of hearings will not be held publicly, but a report will be released after its conclusion in May.
The first inquiry’s report by Adam Bell SC found The Star unfit to hold a casino licence after exposing a litany of compliance failures.
These included a notorious gang-linked junket operator running an illicit cage at the casino and Chinese debit card transactions being disguised as hotel expenses.
Mr Bell will also conduct the second inquiry.
