The NSW casino regulator has taken the unprecedented step of suspending Star Entertainment's Sydney casino licence as well as slapping a record $100 million fine on the embattled company.
NSW Independent Casino Commission (NICC) chief commissioner Philip Crawford announced the hefty penalty, saying the Pyrmont venue could continue to trade under a licence held by a manager.
"We've decided to impose a fine of $100 million on The Star and secondly, to suspend The Star's casino licence," he told reporters on Monday.
