Crown Sydney Opens as Regulator Granted Provisional Casino License

The long-awaited launch of Crown Resorts’ luxury casino at the Crown Sydney is finally about to happen. Australia’s first and only VIP casino will officially open and commence operations on August 8, 2022.

The Crown Sydney Gets a Provisional License
The Crown Sydney announced the opening date for its luxury casino venue at its skyscraper hotel in Barangaroo after it was finally granted a provisional license from the New South Wales Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority (ILGA).

The casino is targeted at premium customers and it will offer two luxury VIP salons duped the Crystal Room and the Mahogany Room. However, only one of them will be opened on August 8, the other one will be available at a later date. There will also be smaller private gambling rooms available at two levels of the building. In total, the premium casino will include 160 tables for gambling and 70 electronic games.

The casino license, which was given to Crown Resorts on a conditional basis, will allow the regulator to further assess whether the company fulfills all the requirements necessary to hold a casino license in New South Wales. This assessment period may last from 18 to 24 months. Since ILGA declared Crown Resorts as unsuitable to hold a casino license, the company has undergone serious structural change mainly concerning management, controls over money-laundering, and the corporation’s business culture in general.
