Crown Sydney back with casino operations in August
Last update: May, 2024
According to the Bergin inquiry, which was a 750-pagare report about the corporate culture and governance of Crown Resorts. The corporate governance and culture was heavily criticized in this inquiry. The NSW regulator than decided that Crown should undergo a substantial corporate makeover to get back their casino license.
Almost 2 years later Crown found to be suitable again to get back their license. However, for now they are receiving a conditional license. This conditional license is granted so the regulators get additional time to monitor the final phase of the crown. During this final phase the regulator of the NSW Liquor and Gambling Authority will decide whether they will get their license back or not.
For now, only the Crystal room will open its doors on the 8th of august, the Mahogony will reopen at a later date.
