Donation puts the heat on Australian casino

By Go-Bingo - online bingo news on November 30, 2007 11:06 AM |

The whiff of political scandal has reached the gambling industry with the revelation by The Daily Telegraph that a New South Wales casino has donated to the Australian Labour party.

Mirroring recent 'cash for favours' scandals in the UK, Australia's Star City Casino reportedly made a AUS$100,000 donation to the Australian Labour party just before the election in that country this year.  Labour came to power on an anti-Iraq and global warming platform.

Star City Casino currently enjoys a monopoly in the Australian state of New South Wales which it paid $100 million for, a figure that puts into perspective the size of the donation to the Labour party.  Star City Casino maintains it has done nothing illegal in making the donation.

Star City Casino's does not offer online bingo as part of its range of games and is not a major online gaming entity.  UK online bingo operators and online bingo halls have not been implicated in any 'cash for favours' scandals in the UK.
