Operator of the multibillion dollar casino Star Entertainment was fined $140,000 for assisting customers in using credit cards for unlawful gambling. On Wednesday, the troubled casino owner admitted guilt to 11 offences in Brisbane Magistrates Court. Seven charges were connected to parts of Queensland casino law that forbid using a credit card to buy gaming chips. The court was informed that some persons were able to purchase chips at Brisbane's Treasury Casino and the Star Gold Coast in 2017, 2018, and 2022 on credit. They were able to acquire "quite a significant" sum of money in chips, with one winning $20,000 worth.
