For weeks, one terminal paid out millions to patrons who already cashed their wins. “Numerous failures” prevented the fraud being detected, an inquiry heard.
For almost seven weeks, one machine in Star Entertainment’s Sydney casino was handing out millions of dollars to patrons who had already cashed wins.
Between June 7 and July 24, 43 patrons “not entitled” to more winnings were able to extract money because a flaw in the ticket-in, ticket-out machine allowed them to redeem tickets that had already been paid out, the inquiry heard.Adam Bell, SC, been tasked by the Independent Casino Commission in NSW to determine whether Star should be handed back its licence.
At that time, the first inquiry heard that Star was issuing “sham documentation” and allocating “fake” hotel rooms to disguise the fact that credit cards issued by China UnionPay were being improperly used to pay for gambling. Mr Weeks told the inquiry that the incident with the ticket-in, cash-out machine identified “a deep cultural problem in parts of the casino in relation to the level of rigour through which controls are followed, the level of care in which work is conducted and the desire from people in the business to drill down on things in circumstances where they don’t appear that they’re correct”.
