Crown Resorts is set to open its Sydney casino in the coming weeks
Bergin's report, which spans nearly 800 pages, revealed that Crown Resorts had violated several local laws, including those related to organizing junket tours.
On February 21, an ILGA representative issued a statement indicating that the authority is expected to allow Crown to reopen its casino in the coming weeks. "We still believe that the company cannot hold the appropriate license until it addresses significant issues raised by the Bergin investigation. However, reopening the casino on a trial basis will help the authority assess Crown's progress in this regard. That said, no decision has been made at this time," the statement read.
This announcement follows recent support from Crown Resorts shareholders for the company's acquisition by investment group Blackstone, with the deal valued at approximately AUD 8.9 billion (USD 6.3 billion).
In October 2021, Crown also retained its casino license in Melbourne, despite a royal commission in Victoria deeming Crown Resorts an "unsuitable" operator. Meanwhile, in Western Australia, Crown is awaiting the release of a royal commission report on casinos in Perth, which is not expected to be made public before March 4, 2022.
