Embattled casino giant Crown Resorts' Melbourne operations will be scrutinised after allegations of money laundering, corporate governance stuff-ups and involvement with organised crime came to light at a long-running NSW inquiry. The Victorian government has asked the state gambling regulator to bring forward Crown's seventh casino review, after its last evaluation in 2018. The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation will assess the suitability of Crown to hold the state's sole casino licence as part of a review that is lawfully required at least every five years. The early review was prompted by 'concerning' revelations at the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority inquiry, the state government said. 'It would be my hope that some of the issues that have been raised can be accounted for and we can have confidence that ... Crown Casino is run to the highest standards,' Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters on Thursday. 'We're all entitled to that reassurance. But that's not a matter for me, that's a matter for the independent regulator.' Mr Andrews said his government determined on Wednesday it was the right time to move up the review, as Crown was withheld a gaming licence for its new Sydney complex. Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam said an independent investigation into Crown's licence was long overdue and called on the government to shut down its Southbank site until process was complete. 'Given the damning evidence coming out of the inquiry ... Crown shouldn't be allowed to retain its Victorian licence while this investigation takes place,' she said in a statement on Thursday. A dedicated commissioner will be appointed to run the Victorian-based review and findings will be reported to Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Melissa Horne sometime next year. Mr Andrews said he didn't want to prejudge Crown prior to the 'frank and fearless process', but pledged to take appropriate action based on its findings. 'It will be properly resourced,' he said. 'It will be the right person and they will get to the bottom of a question that many people are asking: 'What's going on down there?'.' The NSW inquiry into Crown has heard evidence of money laundering, corporate governance errors and links to organised crime. A temporary liquor licence was issued to the casino giant on Wednesday, allowing it to run a new hotel, restaurants and bars at its Barangaroo site. But Crown Sydney's centrepiece casino will remain unopened, with the ILGA withholding a gaming licence until the inquiry reports back in February 2020. In an ASX release on Thursday, Crown acknowledged the Victorian regulator review as its share price dropped 0.3 per cent to $9.82 by 2pm after the news. Australian Associated Press

A Melbourne restaurant linked to celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal cheated workers out of $4.5 million, according to a leaked administrator's report.

Dinner by Heston, which operates out of Melbourne's Crown Resort, charged up to $295 per head for its 'immersive experience' degustation meals.

Accounts for the Dinner by Heston restaurant show it has reported persistent losses since opening in Melbourne in 2015. The accounts disclosed it was dependent on interest free loans from a related company run through a Caribbean tax haven and Crown Melbourne ‘’to continue operating’’.

The leaked creditors' report, compiled by provisional liquidators BRI Ferrier, details debts of nearly $8 million, the majority of which is owed to workers.

'The major financial issue confronting the company is the underpayment of employee entitlements over a period of four years from commencement of business until circa June 2019, when the employment arrangements were changed to comply with employment legislation,' the report said.

Employees of Dinner by Heston were underpaid more than $4 million in wages and another $435,000 in entitlements.

'We have been informed that the blueprint for the retainer of the majority of staff was initially established by a Crown employee,' it read.

'The blueprint was applied over several years and resulted in the underpayment of employee wages.

'The company self-reported the under-payments to the Fair Work Ombudsman.'

The United Workers Union (UWU) has slammed the restaurant and Crown for ripping off workers and demanded the resort take on the responsibility for the wage-theft debt.

'We have requested that Crown repay all unpaid wages and entitlements owed to our members — and offer employment to these members as well as sponsoring those who are on temporary visas,' UWU national president Jo-anne Schofield said.

BRI Ferrier reported Dinner by Heston was 'best described as a joint venture' between Crown and the restaurant's parent company Tipsy Cake, registered in Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.

Despite carrying the celebrity chef's name, the restaurant is not owned by Blumenthal.

Crown was charged an annual licensing fee of 1 million pounds ($1.93 million) for the right to house the luxury eatery but the company has rejected the suggestion it is in a joint venture with Tipsy Cake.

A Crown spokeswoman said in a statement that Dinner by Heston was a tenant, it employed its own staff and was responsible for its own operations.

'Tipsy Cake has asked the court to appoint a liquidator, on the basis that it is insolvent. In these circumstances, including ongoing substantial unpaid expenses to Crown, Crown has taken steps to bring the tenancy to an end,' she said.

'While this is disappointing, Crown is working to provide assistance to Tipsy Cake employees looking for employment within Crown. The provisional liquidator of Tipsy Cake, however, will need to deal with employee matters at the first instance.'

On its website, Dinner by Heston calls itself 'one of the world's most exciting restaurants' taking 'creative inspiration from our historic and nostalgic culinary past'.

Ms Schofield said: 'Crown used the celebrity of Heston Blumenthal as a drawcard to lure big-spending customers, who stayed in Crown's hotels and gambled at its casino'.

'Crown continued backing Dinner by Heston through the joint venture that saw them pay rent of only $1 a year and a million pounds a year sent overseas in an intellectual property deal.

'Meanwhile hospitality workers are owed up to $35,000, after working 80 to 90-hour weeks.

'There are workers who face losing sponsored visa status and being forced to leave the country, because of Crown's move to now evict Dinner by Heston.'
