flag Gambling tycoon James Packer blames regulators for harming Australia’s casino industry with unfair rules post-royal commission.

flag Gambling billionaire James Packer has criticized Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and the NSW regulator for actions he claims have crippled Australia’s casino industry, citing unfair regulatory pressure on major operators like Crown Melbourne following a 2022 royal commission that found widespread misconduct. flag Despite no individual prosecutions due to insufficient evidence and the statute of limitations, Packer argued casinos face harsher rules—such as cash bans—while pubs and clubs receive favorable treatment. flag He expressed personal recovery from past mental health and substance abuse struggles and plans to spend Christmas in Australia with family.
