A lawyer making a closing case to an inquiry into The Star Sydney says a "litany" of problems with a Chinese debit card scheme for VIP patrons shows the venue is not fit to hold a casino licence.
The NSW gaming authority inquiry has since March examined claims ASX-listed Star Entertainment enabled suspected money laundering, organised crime, fraud and foreign interference at its Sydney casino.
Lawyers assisting the inquiry are closing their case after evidence a notorious gang-linked junket operator ran an illicit cage at the casino, that it did not do enough in dealings with regulators, and that it broke rules on Chinese debit cards.
