The Victorian Gambling & Casino Control Commission has ruled that Crown Resorts is entitled to retain its exclusive casino licence in Melbourne. The VGCCC’s chair Fran Thorn says it is satsified that the systemic failings of Crown’s Melbourne casino are a thing of the past. However, she has put the private equity-owned company on notice that it will continue to be under scrutiny and will face the "full extent of the law" if it reverts to the conduct that prompted a royal commission and the appointment of a special monitor to oversee its operations for the last two years. Crown’s casino licence in Melbourne had been at risk in the wake of revelations that it had breached anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism laws.
