Could Strict New Gambling Laws in Melbourne Spell the End of the Aussie Millions?

The fallout from the damning royal commission into Crown Melbourne's affairs continues with Crown Resorts' flagship property facing a new raft of strict gambling laws that could spell the end for the long-running Aussie Millions. Loss limits and restrictions on the use of cash at Crown Melbourne is aimed at players of slots, or pokies as the Australians call them, but the new rules will undoubtedly spread to other areas of the casino's operations.

An investigation into Crown Resorts lasted more than two years and ended with regulators declaring the Australian gambling giant unfit to hold a casino operating license for its Melbourne, Perth, and recently-opened Sydney properties.
