Decision on second Sydney casino due in March

James Packer and his Crown Resorts casino company will know if their application for a second casino in Sydney will be given a license within 3 months.

The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) made newspaper adverts this week to call for submissions on the suitability of James Packer and Crown in opening a new casino in Harbour side Barangaroo. The casino development should it receive clearance will be a VIP only casino costing Crown around $1.3 billion

The state’s Casino Control Act requires that any holder of a casino licence has to be regarded by the ILGA as a “suitable person”.

Echo Entertainment which runs the only casino in Sydney at present recently applied to develop and extend the Star Casino, but was refused by the NSW government.
