Crown Resorts has agreed to ban cash from its casinos in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in an effort to stop criminals from laundering drug money and other ill-gotten gains on its gaming tables.
The ban helps pave the way for Crown to finally open the casino at its new $2.2 billion tower in Sydney this year, after the James Packer-backed group had its licence suspended last year after evidence emerged of money laundering at its Melbourne and Perth casinos.
The NSW Bergin inquiry found that this footage of large amounts of cash being exchanged at Crown Melbourne was probably money laundering.
