Crown, StarCity, and Sky City Casinos are under formal investigation of money laundering and an investigation into casinos over a potential breach of money laundering laws by anti-laundering regulators across 5 states is being expanded. 

The investigation has stalled the opening of a new Sydney Casino which cost NSW $2.2 billion to build, with the commissioner of the inquiry saying it was unlikely the casino would be fit to hold its operating license in time for its scheduled opening date.
