Crown casinos: the fall of the gambling empire

The Bergin Inquiry in NSW has found Crown Casinos is not fit to hold a casino licence, meaning its new multi-billion dollar tower in Sydney is a white elephant

 

We’re joined by The Age’s Nick McKenzie and former chair of the Casino, Liquor and Gaming Authority Chris Sidoti, to discuss Crown’s future. 

 

What’s next for James Packer?  What will happen to the new tower – Sydney’s tallest building – at Barangaroo?   And how and why was Crown granted the licence for Barangaroo in the first place?
