The games on this website are powered Crown Casino Dinner And Show and operated by Aspire Global International LTD. Aspire Global International LTD (or 'The Company' ) is a company registered Crown Casino Dinner And Show in Malta for the purposes of operating online games and mobile application games with registration number C42296. If you intend going, recommend you take advantage of the dinner / show combination package on Ticketek. Exceptional value with meals & a drink at one of Crown's restaurants at a standard well beyond what you might expect for such a combination. Highly recommended with some great name shows coming up. Whilst it is a large facility, I'm not a huge fan of the Crown Casino. It lacks decent customer service, and a feeling of being a unified facility. I much prefer the Casinos of Vegas, or even the NSW border clubs or those clubs in Sydney. Parking, drinks and food at the Crown are also almost always over-priced for what they offer.
The Courier-Mail’s Damien Tomlinson says "wage theft" is something which is "infecting the hospitality industry," after reports have emerged of yet another multi-million-dollar employee underpayment scandal by a celebrity-chef fronted restaurant. The high-end Melbourne restaurant, 'Dinner by Heston,' which is fronted by celebrity-chef Heston Blumenthal, reportedly owes at least $4.5 million to its employees, in what is yet another example of underpayment within the restaurant sector. "This is bad for Heston," Mr Tomlinson told Sky News host Peter Gleeson. While fellow panelist, Sky News contributor Scott Emerson said the "basics" of running a restaurant is paying the employees that work there. Image: Getty

A high-end Crown Casino restaurant linked to celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal has underpaid employees potentially millions of dollars.
The United Workers Union says $4.5 million is owed to workers of Dinner by Heston, which operates at the Crown complex in Melbourne.
The business is “best described as a joint venture” between Crown and restaurant owner Tipsy Cake Pty Ltd, provisional liquidators BRI Ferrier said in a creditors’ report.
“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,” it said.

While the restaurant carries the celebrity chef’s name, Blumenthal is not a part-owner.
The creditors’ report said Tipsy Cake put its debts at almost $8 million.
The company estimated it owed $4 million to priority creditors, including staff, although BRI Ferrier said that amount was “understated by an unknown factor relative to the ongoing determination of underpaid wages”.
The amount also did not include current accrued employee entitlements estimated at $435,000, the report said.
The liquidators estimated the amount owed to priority creditors was $4.48 million.
UWU national president Jo-anne Schofield said Crown should pay all unpaid wages and entitlements owed.
“Crown may have now booted Heston’s restaurant but we won’t let them abandon workers who are owed $4.5 million,” she said.

A Dinner By Heston chef, identified only as Steve, said his temporary visa has been hanging in the balance for more than six months.
“My whole life is in Australia and I face losing it all,” he said through the union.
The creditors’ report said a “blueprint” under which most staff were employed was initially set up by a Crown employee and was applied over several years, resulting in the underpayment of wages.
Tipsy Cake reported the underpayments to the Fair Work Ombudsman. A Crown spokeswoman said Tipsy Cake was a tenant of Crown.
“Tipsy Cake has asked the court to appoint a liquidator, on the basis that it is insolvent. In these circumstances, Crown has taken steps to bring the tenancy to an end,” she said.
“Crown is working to provide assistance to Tipsy Cake employees looking for employment within Crown.” The report also stated the company only paid $1 a year in rent to Crown under a 10-year agreement.
