Crown in talks to replace Star Entertainment as Queen’s Wharf Brisbane casino operator
Reports out of Australia are claiming that Crown Resorts could become the new casino operator at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane replacing its rival Star Entertainment.
Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium, who each own 25 per cent of Queen’s Wharf, have reportedly met with Crown, who was a bidder for the licence some ten years ago, with the hope in Crown would oversee the casino element in the porject b early next year.
New Zealand operator SkyCity Entertainment Group, which owns casinos in Adelaide, and Delaware North, which operates Darwin’s Mindil Beach Casino & Resort, are also on the list as potential partners.
Crown though leads the way as it has recently been classed as a fit operator in other Australian states.
Local media has quoted an unnamed source as saying: “The Queensland regulator would prefer an operator like Crown that can clearly meet probity and suitability requirements.”
