NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia: "The State Government is hoping to reap hundreds of millions of dollars from a new deal with Star City Casino which would allow it to remain the only operating casino in NSW.

"...The exclusivity negotiations come amid suggestions that James Packer's Publishing & Broadcasting Ltd could be interested in setting up a casino in Sydney, the Hunter or the Tweed. A new casino licence could be worth up to $3 billion for the Government..."
