'Ten Chinese junket organizers licensed by casino operators are believed to be [currently] arrested to charge high prices on Australian properties. The crackdown is because junkets and international casino promoters are taking money out of China by recruiting VIP gamblers to their international casinos and letting them spend large amounts of money at their facilities.The Australian casino industry was rattled last week by reports that mainland Chinese authorities arrested up to 18 Crown Resort employees, including Jason O'Connor, executive vice president of Crown International operations. Crown's shares plunged 18% and Crown's rival, Australia's Star Entertainment, saw its shares drop 12%. The arrest prompted Star Entertainment CEO Matt Becker to cancel plans to visit Macau and Hong Kong, instead focusing on meeting a group of investors.무료슬롯사이트Chinese officials have been questioning the 18 Crown Resorts employees for days, and have reportedly gained a lot of information, including access to computers and smartphones. Australian media reported that Chinese public security also managed to gain access to Crown Resort's database of Chinese gamblers, investigating 87 Crown customers and their overseas activities.These 87 Crown customers were not too happy to see that Chinese authorities had been able to access it through Crown's database. Local media reported that a number of international casino operators have withdrawn their overseas staff from China to prevent them from getting caught up in the Crown Resort raid. Chinese authorities were also reportedly aware that Star Entertainment had 12 employees in mainland China to conduct similar overseas recruitment activities, such as Crown Resorts, but suspended operations when news of the crackdown broke.Macau's Economy and Finance Minister Lionel Leung Bai-taek said the Chinese authorities' crackdown should not affect the recovery of Macau's casino industry, and game analysts supported this view because they believe the crackdown is aimed at overseas operators who have lured VIP Chinese gamblers to their resorts.
