An exclusive interview by Inside Asian Gaming and VGCCC CEO Annette Kimmitt reveal what the regulator would do if Crown Melbourne is found unsuitable to hold a license
Crown Melbourne the Victoria-based property, which is currently under a special supervision regime, is expected to be restored to full operations early next year. Before this happens, however, the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission would have to decide on the operator’s suitability first.
VGCCC Prepares for Transition-out Plan
Should Crown Melbourne fail, though, the VGCCC already has what Kimmitt has described as a Plan B, which could see the regulator make sure the property runs even if the iconic operator is no longer deemed capable. Kimmett dismissed media speculation that properties are too big to fail – failure was an option, she said, and it was up the newly-setup regulator to find a way to move past a worst-case scenario.
