Sydney casinos to ban cash after money laundering scandal. The Star and Crown Sydney agree to the unusual move on Thursday. It comes after an inquiry earlier this year found it was likely criminal activity had occurred at Crown Resorts' casinos in other Australian cities. Crown has been under immense pressure to reform its gambling operations following the inquiry. The rule would also apply to Crown's casinos in Melbourne and Perth. Star Entertainment Group launched a bid this week to merge with Crown. They are both interested in operating casinos. For years, Crown was dogged by allegations of illegal activity occurring at its casinos, including widespread moneyaundering and junkets for Chinese high-roller gamblers linked to organised crime groups.
