Sydney's The Star casino fined $15 million and licence to remain suspended, NSW Independent Casino Commission says

Sydney's The Star casino has been fined $15 million amid ongoing compliance failures and its licence will remain suspended while it works to meet various conditions imposed by the NSW Independent Casino Commission (NICC), which will re-assess The Star’s suitability to regain its casino licence by March 31 next year. NICC Chief Commissioner Philip Crawford said the commission weighed up the public interest and stopped short of revoking the casino's licence, stating “if Sydney Star fails, the Star group will fail and that's a group that employs 9,000-plus people, and if you add onto that the huge number of suppliers to the business, it would affect the lives of a lot of people”.
