Echo Entertainment: Entertainment name of the game at The Star casino, by Greg Tingle - 10th November 2011

Profiles

World Casino Directory Global Gaming Directory Australian Casinos The Star Echo Entertainment Gaming Sydney Australia

Stop saying Star City Casino... owned and operated by Tabcorp Holdings. It's The Star, run by Echo Entertainment, and don't you forget it my friends.

Integrated entertainment complex and land based casino owner Echo Entertainment advised revenue was stronger in the first quarter of 2011-12 and earnings are expected to rocket in the second half.

If you missed it, Echo Entertainment demerged from betting and gaming outfit Tabcorp Holdings in June 2011, and today operates The Star in 'Sin City' Sydney, Jupiters Hotel and Casino at Surfers Paradise, The Treasury Casino (Brisbane) and Jupiters up in Townsville.

Chief exec Larry Mullin told the company's AGM that Echo's performance in the three months to September 30 had been in line with the firms expectations.

Revenues in the period were up by 15.2 per cent and up 14.4 per cent on a normalised basis, he said.

Full-year earnings would be hit in the first half from costs associated with opening the newly revamped The Star, Mr Mullin said.

Pre-opening costs are going to be in the region of $30 million, while operating expenses at The Star will initially be higher.

Strong earnings growth is expected in the second half, due to new products and expansions at The Star, Mr Mullin said.

Second-half earnings in Queensland are also forecast to accelerate, following the impact of floods in the previous corresponding period.

In the meantime Australia's most famous gaming billionaire James Packer, and his Crown Limited - Crown Casino empire are not going to roll over and die, with casino revaps of their own in Melbourne and Perth, with Burswood in Perth expected to be rebranded Crown.

Media agencies such as Media Man and Casino News Media are currently obtaining information from the public at large as to whether The Star and Crown Casino are more about gambling or entertainment, or both. Roy Morgan and the Australian Government are expected to be very interested in the findings.

Pokie proposal a win-win, Greens say - 14th October 2011

Profiles

Gaming Clubs Clubs Australia Politics Politics Canberra Australia

Limiting poker machines to $1 bets and $500 jackpots is a win-win for all sectors of the gambling industry, Greens leader Bob Brown says.

The Greens have put forward an alternative gambling policy that eliminates the need for controversial mandatory pre-commitment on low-intensity poker machines.

Gambling clubs and operators, including James Packer's Crown Casino, have reportedly set up a $40 million war chest to fight mandatory pre-commitment.

Senator Brown described the Greens' policy as a "win, win win", as it would satisfy the pokie operators while dealing with the $5 billion scourge of problem gambling and satisfying anti-gambling campaigners.

Brown said in Melbourne national politicians felt a responsibility to tackle the problem.
"There's no doubt some clubs will, and potentially casinos and state governments will, see a loss in revenue," he said.

"But this is very well targeted, so that loss in revenue is not going to come from the 90 per cent of ordinary gamblers who put a few dollars through the machines each week, but the problem gamblers," he added.

Greens gambling spokesman Senator Richard Di Natale said he had sent the policy to anti-gambling campaigners Andrew Wilkie and Nick Xenophon, the other independents and the Federal Government.

"We think it's really important that in a very toxic debate, particularly with the clubs running a deceptive campaign in the way that they are doing, that we put another option on the table," he said.

"It gives us more chance of success.

He added it won't get rid of problem gambling altogether, but would have a significant impact and would reduce the risks for problem gamblers.

Mr Wilkie said he was pleased the Greens' policy dovetailed with his reforms, which included $1 bets and mandatory pre-commitment on high-intensity machines.

"I'm continuing to work with the Federal Government to implement our reforms, which have not changed in any way," he said.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she was committed to helping problem gambling but wanted venues which would allow people "a good night out".

Exciting News for Online Poker Site, PKR as USA Legalisation of Gambling Sites Edges Closer - 6th October 2011

Profiles

PKR PKR Poker PKR Casino PKR Slots Games Casino Slots World Casino Directory United States Australia

The popular UK 3D poker site, PKR could soon go transatlantic and launch in the US after the American Gaming Association's (AGA) contributed to the push for online poker regulation in the country.

Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., president and CEO of the AGA, commented: 'There are no longer any good reasons to put USA citizens at risk by continuing to outlaw online poker in the U.S.' The statement comes after the USA Justice Department tried to shut down illegal gambling sites but the number of Americans playing online poker unprotected continues to grow.

PKR has established itself as one of the most playable and secure online poker websites in the UK over the last five years. The campaign in the US for lawful online poker now has the backing of certain state reps from Massachusetts and the prospect of legalisation could open the gates for PKR to expand into a massive market.

The AGA had once condemned online gambling altogether and only changed their opinion due to reports of a threat of unregulated sites currently endangering American players. The prospect of US legalisation of online poker could be potentially huge for PKR as their fully regulated and licensed site already has the foundations to become a massive hit among gamers in the States.

Massachusetts state rep, Dan Winslow also added to the argument for legalisation by arguing the flailing US economy could benefit from the introduction of online poker because of the jobs it will create in game design and regulatory software upkeep - a notion America's 14 million unemployed will welcome.

Back in the UK, it's business as usual for PKR for the meantime but they are very excited by the suggestion of expanding their business across the pond. A spokesperson for the poker games site commented:

'It is still early days yet but it would be a massively exciting prospect to take PKR to the States. The whole regulation of online poker sites debate is unlikely to be resolved overnight however, but at PKR we will be watching closely as we are always keen to develop playing opportunities to improve the gaming experience for everyone'.

It is rumoured the AGA campaign may prompt online poker legislation on a state level first before the whole nation accepts it. However, the campaign certainly looks to have some weight behind it and as far as PKR is concerned, it is a matter of watch this space.

Crown Limited - Burswood Casino Nabs Tiger Woods By The Tail, by Greg Tingle - 5th October 2011

James Packer Burswood Casino Tiger Woods Golf Perth

Australian gambling and media billionaire has taken a calculated gamble with his green lighting of a Tiger Woods special visit to Perth, Western Australia.

Golf fans are not likely to see Tiger Woods in the flesh when he comes to Perth as a guest of James Packer, Burswood Casino and friends.

Golf nuts and the public at large have buckley's of catching Tiger Woods in the flesh when he stays at Burswood next month for a special corporate golf day.

Woods, 35, is being remunerated with a secret amount of money - likely around half a million bucks - by Crown Limited, which owns Burswood Entertainment Complex, to play in the invitation-only tourney and conduct private golf clinics on Saturday November 5. "Private" may be open to interpretation.

A deep throat at Burswood Park Golf Course source the press that Woods was an uncertain starter for the event and would probably only conduct golf clinics for the high-profile business associates of the casino's owner James Packer.

"High-profile gamblers and high-rollers from overseas are expected to form the majority of the field," the leak said.

"One field will go out in the morning, and another in the afternoon."

He said Tiger's visit would be a closed shop for golf fans, with security ensuring Perth golf fans could not walk the course or enter its public car park. It's all under lock and key.

"The course has been booked for the whole day," the source said.

"The entire complex will be closed off."

He said extensive conditioning work had begun at Burswood Park in anticipation of Tiger's visit.

"The course will be pretty flush for Tiger's visit," he said.

A Burswood Entertainment Complex spokesperson told News Limited the invitation-only day was a corporate event organised by Mr James Packer and featuring Burswood's VIP patrons.

"It's not a charity event, it's corporate event," the spokeperson said.

She said Packer would invite his business associates plus the casino's biggest clients to play with him in the corporate day.

"James Packer will be playing, plus Burswood's VIP patrons," she said.

She confirmed that Woods, a 14-time major winner, would stay at Burswood digs during his Perth visit before holding a similar clinic in Melbourne on November 7 ahead of his appearance at The President's Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in mid-November.

The State Government's event agency EventsCorp confirmed the Tiger visit was very much a closed event after a spokesperson said it still hadn't established what, if any, opportunities there may be to promote Perth and WA around Tiger’s visit.

The agency historically has a very close relationship with Burswood.

"It does sound though ... that his visit is very much a private affair," a spokesperson said.
Golf WA CEO Gary Thomas said it was a boost that Woods was in Perth albeit for a private event.

"It's not something that was scheduled and would normally not happen," he said. "We don’t have a major event in Perth that would draw a player of that calibre and for him to now be coming to Perth, albeit for what seems to be a private event, is great.

"It will be a boost for golf and in some way in WA it will attract media attention. "It will mean the sport of golf is in the spotlight which is all good ... it's probably fantastic we've been able to squeeze him in for at least a day in Perth."

Thomas said he didn't know of anyone who has been invited or approached by Crown Limited.

"Whether they're going to be in touch with golf clubs or giving opportunities for people to play are yet to be heard," he said.

Burswood Park, WA's oldest golf course, will ironically be demolished once construction begins on Perth's new $700 million sports stadium at the complex.

Sure sounds like Packer's Burswood has scored a hole in one.
