Crown Resorts Limited keen to begin offering ‘cashless’ play in Australia

In Australia and casino operator Crown Resorts Limited reportedly soon intends to begin offering ‘cashless’ play at its trio of domestic properties while ceasing the use of foreign junket firms.

According to a report from Yahoo Finance, these revelations came from the Chairman for the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority, Philip Crawford, during a press conference to discuss the firm’s progress towards obtaining a gambling license for its new Crown Sydney property.

Detrimental denial:

Crown Resorts Limited was initially refused a casino license for the $1.5 billion Sydney development in February owing to concerns that it may have been complicit in a slew of money laundering offenses tied to its utilization of junkets. Operators purportedly often partner with such enterprises in order to promote their venues to wealthy overseas gamblers and handle these individuals’ subsequent travel, accommodation and foreign banking or credit needs.

Serious suggestions:

The rejection from the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority subsequently sent Crown Resorts Limited into turmoil with the firm now reportedly working alongside the regulator to institute a number of changes earlier recommended by an independent investigation chaired by former New South Wales Supreme Court Judge Patricia Bergin. The operator, which is also responsible for the Crown Melbourne and Crown Perth properties, has already been barred from utilizing junkets in the state of Western Australia and purportedly now intends to eschew their use nationwide.

Takeover talks:

As it looks to repair its reputation and Crown Resorts Limited is reportedly moreover considering a number of buy-out offers including a $9.4 billion proposition from fellow Australian casino operator The Star Entertainment Group Limited. Crawford purportedly pronounced that such a transaction would require the consent of multiple state regulators including his own following careful consideration of ‘a range of issues’ including just how such a merged entity would operate and whether any existing arrangements would need to be altered.

Crawford reportedly proclaimed…

“Any changes to Crown Resorts Limited’s ownership structure including takeover or merger proposals require the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority to consider a range of issues.”

Onerous obligations:

As part of its ongoing rehabilitation and Crown Resorts Limited has furthermore reportedly agreed to contribute just over $9.6 million to cover some of the costs of the Bergin-led inquiry and pay an increased annual supervisory fee for the next two year of $3.8 million. The Melbourne-headquartered firm’s new Executive Chair, Helen Coonan, purportedly disclosed that the operator would soon begin consultations regarding a revised yearly rate from 2023 onwards.

Coonan reportedly stated…

“While we recognize we have more work to do, we welcome the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority’s indication today that our reform implementation is well advanced towards suitability to operate gaming at Crown Sydney.”

Next Xbox Should Be More Innovative, Phil Spencer Says

With an increasing numbers of Xbox console-exclusive games starting to appear on Sony’s PlayStation 5, some players are openly wondering why they should purchase one of Microsoft’s consoles. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has fueled some of that talk by pushing for more Xbox titles on other consoles and PC. In a new interview, Spencer also acknowledges that the hardware differences between Xbox Series X and PS5 have drastically diminished.

Spencer recently appeared on The Destin Channel, and he shared his belief that the the current console generation is too similar. That’s why he wants to see the next iteration of Xbox offer innovations that will make it an easier choice for players.

Robert Pattinson Is Not In HBO's The Penguin, But It Was Considered

HBO’s The Penguin is set in the universe of director Matt Reeves’ The Batman, and many wondered if Robert Pattinson might appear in the TV show as Batman or Bruce Wayne. But he won’t.

Reeves, who is an executive producer on the TV show, told Total Film that he sees himself as a “point-of-view filmmaker,” and that didn’t leave room for Batman or Bruce Wayne to appear in the show. At least not physically.

Batman does exist in the world, and the show is set against the backdrop of the events of what happened in the 2022 film The Batman, so his “presence” is felt, but Batman does not appear–nor does Paul Dano’s Riddler.

“When I’m doing a Batman story, Batman and Bruce is going to be the main point of view. To explore the rogues gallery, they could never get the real estate we can do in a series,” Reeves said. “So Batman is in this [show] only as a sense that he’s a presence. You’re aware that all of these events began because of the Riddler, but the Riddler …

Fall Guys- Ultimate Knockout Review – Major Chaos

Battle royales have only been around for a handful of years, and for the most part they’ve strictly stuck within the same genre of games.
