Crown Resorts’ Perth-based casino, Crown Perth, reopened two weeks ago, more than three months after it suspended operations as a result of the pandemic. The venue reopened with added protocols in place for the health and safety of customers and employees – something Crown CEO Ken Barton described as the company’s “priority”. These measures included five-player maximums for poker tables and high-frequency cleaning.
SkyCity Adelaide reopened on June 29 with reduced hours
Other casinos have also reopened across Australia. Last week, the Star Entertainment Group announced the reopening of its private gaming rooms and food venues in Sydney after consultation with the New South Wales (NSW) government.

The ILGA launched the inquiry in relation to Crown’s plans for the development of a $2.4bn casino hotel and luxury apartment tower in Sydney. Among other lines of inquiry, the ILGA intended to assess whether last year’s sale of 20% of Crown to Melco Resorts breached the operator’s Sydney casino license.
the focus of the inquiry has shifted to Crown’s suitability to hold an NSW license
Melco CEO Lawrence Ho has since distanced his company from the case after selling the last of his Crown shares in April of this year. As a result, the focus of the inquiry has shifted to Crown’s suitability to hold an NSW license. The inquiry will look into allegations of money laundering, breach of gambling laws, and links to criminal operations in Australia.
WA’s leading health groups are calling on Crown Perth to make its high-roller gaming areas at the casino smoke-free.
This follows a decision made by Crown Melbourne to declare all high-roller gaming areas smoke-free for a period of two weeks to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, in response to health and safety concerns raised by casino workers.
“The fact that smoking is still allowed in ‘high-roller’ gaming areas is out-dated and shocking, and entirely inconsistent with health and safety legislation,” said Melissa Ledger, our Cancer Prevention and Research Director.
“Since the smoking exemption was granted in 2006 under WA’s tobacco legislation, the size of the high-roller areas has increased significantly, exposing more workers and patrons to second-hand smoke.”
Maurice Swanson, Chief Executive of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health said Crown Perth casino is the only enclosed workplace in Western Australia that allows its staff to be exposed to dangerous second-hand cigarette smoke.
“We have known for nearly 40 years that second-hand smoke causes lung cancer, and it is now firmly established that second-hand smoke causes heart attacks.
“No ventilation system can remove the pollutants generated by cigarette smoke, and this evidence has been available for many years,” Mr Swanson said.
President of AMA WA, Dr Andrew Miller, said Crown Perth was sending a very poor message to its staff and the community about the importance of their health.
“All employees at the casino deserve to work in a safe environment without being exposed to second-hand smoke,” Dr Miller said.
“There is also evidence that if you smoke or inhale second-hand smoke your risk of contracting COVID-19 is increased.
“If Crown Perth is not prepared to do the right thing by its staff and patrons, the State Government should immediately remove the exemption that allows smoking to continue in certain areas of the casino.”
