New gaming landscape looms for Crown Perth casino punters

Punters at Perth’s Crown Casino can expect changes to how they gamble on its gaming floors after Royal Commission findings were released on Thursday.

A 1000-report concluded Crown is unsuitable to hold a gaming licence in Perth, but it can still operate at the Burswood casino.

Crown had facilitated money laundering and enabled junkets with links to organised crime, among other failings.

Monash University gambling researcher Dr Charles Livingstone told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast it was interesting the Perth investigation focused on harm minimisation and problem gambling aspects.

“In terms of providing a safer, less criminally-involved place for people to gamble, it’s going to go a long way. It’s a very important Royal Commission,” he said.

Dr Livingston was unsure if the casino was genuine in its attempts to transform.

“Well they’re certainly on a journey, whether it’s transforming itself or whether it’s just trying to get over this immediate problem is something we’ll have to find out.”
