In Southeast Asia, Cambodia, Singapore, Myanmar and the Philippines have legalised casinos, some of which are located on the other side of Thailand's borders, catering overwhelmingly to Thai and Chinese customers, many on weekend junkets. NSW Premier Chris Minns said on Monday that pressures on the state budget meant there could be no repeat of a previous deal with The Star, under which a planned poker-machine tax hike was deferred in return for a transitional agreement with a guarantee for 3000 jobs.
"Mark's appointment and relevant experience further strengthens our leadership team as we focus on implementing the necessary reforms at The Star," The Star chair Anne Ward said of Mr Mackay's appointment in a statement to ASX. BANGKOK, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Thailand's new government will move ahead with plans to introduce casinos after a public hearing showed strong support to create a big entertainment complex offering gambling, a senior official said on Thursday.
She faces graft charges at a Philippine trial court and a money laundering complaint at the Department of Justice. Bamban mayor since 2022, Guo was removed from office by the Ombudsman last month for grave misconduct. Senators took turns to grill Guo on Monday, becoming irked and accusing her of lying that she is Filipino despite evidence obtained by the National Bureau of Investigation showing her fingerprints match Chinese national Guo Hua Ping.

Several Thai governments have pushed to legalise gambling before to try to boost jobs and state revenues and draw more foreign tourists, but each attempt met pushback from conservatives in the Buddhist majority country. One of its first advocates was influential billionaire former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, whose youngest daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra was sworn in as prime minister last month.
Her ally and predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, was the main proponent of the latest casino push but was removed from office by a court decision last month. The conclusion of a public hearing conducted online over a bill to establish a "mega entertainment complex" housing a casino showed 80% of participants agreed with the plan, Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat said.
