Crown Resorts Limited is one of Australia's largest gaming and entertainment groups which had, in June 2010, a market capitalisation of just over A$6 billion. The company was established in 2007 when Publishing and Broadcasting Limited (PBL) divested its gaming assets to Crown Limited. PBL was renamed to Consolidated Media Holdings, retaining all of the remaining assets. In 2008, Crown attempted to enter the Las Vegas gambling market by acquiring a 19.6 per cent stake in Fontainebleau Resorts for US$ 250 million, which resulted in a total loss the following year when other investors withdrew US$ 800 million financing, resulting in bankruptcy applications.〔Carson, Vanda (Packer's US casino gamble in $250m loss ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 11 June 2009〕 This was one of a succession of similar major losses in Gateway Casinos, Harrah's Entertainment and Station Casinos from which a total of $547.5 million was written off.〔Tabakoff, Nick (Why James Packer attracts so much publicity ) ''The Australian'' Business, 7 March 2009〕 Crown wholly owns and operates two of Australia’s leading gaming and entertainment complexes, Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex in Melbourne and Crown Perth, formerly the Burswood Entertainment Complex, in Perth. In September 2013, the Sri Lankan government gave approval to Packer to invest in a two tower building in the heart of the Sri Lankan capital Colombo. The project was to be completed by 2015. However, when a new government took office, President Maithripala Sirisena canceled all three casino licenses awarded by the previous administration; including the Crown Resorts project. 〔(Sri Lanka’s new government cancels new casino licenses Feb. 3 2015 ) World Casino Directory News〕 ==Holdings== * Crown Melbourne Entertainment Complex (100%)〔(About Crown: Summary of key businesses ) at official website〕 * Crown Perth Entertainment Complex (100%)〔 * Aspinalls United Kingdom casinos (50%)〔 * Betfair Australasia Pty Ltd: An online betting exchange (50%)〔 * Melco Crown Entertainment (Macau) Limited: A joint venture developing casino/hotel properties on the Cotai Strip in Macau, including City of Dreams (34%)〔 * Cannery Casino Resorts LLC: Operates casinos and hotels in Nevada and Western Pennsylvania, USA (24.5%)〔 * Aspers Holdings (Jersey) Limited: A casino business in the United Kingdom〔 * Crown Sri Lanka:〔(Crown Confirms Discussions to Develop a Resort in Sri Lanka )〕 A proposed joint venture property in Colombo, Sri Lanka〔 to be reportedly built through the Lake Leisure Holdings consortium in 2017.〔(James Packer wins casino deal in Sri Lanka )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crown Resorts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
