Oct 19, 2016 S ydneysiders should share billionaire casino magnate James Packer’s “deep concern” at the news that 18 Crown Casino employees have been detained in China, albeit for different reasons.While. A pokies manufacturer with ties to James Packer’s Crown Resorts has launched the first applications in Australia to roll out a revolutionary new style of poker machine — “skill-based” gaming machines — aimed at attracting younger gamblers.

James Packer, the Australian billionaire, has reportedly stepped down as the director of Crown Resorts Ltd., the casino company which Consolidated Press Holdings Pty Ltd, belonging to Packer, owns around 47% of.

A spokesman for the investment company, which has the largest amount of shares in Crown Resorts, reportedly stated that Mr packer is suffering from issues related to mental health. He added that Packer thus intends to step away from all of his commitments.

Crown Resorts, for its part, in their filing to the ASE on Wednesday, cited personal reasons as being the cause of the move. A statement which accompanied the filing, issued by executive chairman for Crown Resorts, John Alexander, reportedly said that Crown Resorts has appreciated Packers’ contribution to the Board and respects his decision to step away from his role as director for now.

Packer first stepped down as Crown Resorts director in December of 2015, after he resigned as chairman in August of that year, being succeeded by Robert Rankin, former executive for Deutsche Bank. Then, in January 2017, the casino operator based in Australia made it public that Packer had been appointed as a director of the company. It was at this time that the then-executive deputy chairman for Crown Resorts, John Alexander, got appointed to the executive chairman position, which came into effect on the 1st of February 2017.

Packer is the twice-divorced only son of Kerry Packer, the Australian media owner who controlled the Australian Consolidated Press and the Nine Network, which later merged to become Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, PBL.

CROWN chairman James Packer has admitted he gets upset when people accuse him of making millions of dollars from gamblers' misery.

The billionaire businessman said while he had developed a fairly thick skin it was upsetting to be accused of profiting from others' gambling problems.

'I obviously do get upset at that,' Mr Packer told Fairfax Radio.

'It's not nice when people go to your character.'

The Crown boss said he'd prefer to argue the issues rather than the people.

He said casinos were his biggest business interest 'by far' and he was proud of that fact.

'I get my back up against the wall when people start spinning the line, 'Why are you peddling evil?' Mr Packer said.

'This perception that the only people that come to Crown are helpless victims and we are just sitting there preying on them - I reject that absolutely.'

A self-confessed gambler at the race track and blackjack table, he said that suggestion was spin from the 'latte set', but customers visited Crown Casino and Burswood Casino in Perth 'because they enjoy it'.

Mr Packer weighed into the pokies debate yesterday when he argued the Gillard Government's proposed betting limits wouldn't reduce problem gambling.

In response, anti-pokies MP Andrew Wilkie said Crown's profits came at a terrible human cost, mentioning the suicide of one punter at Packer's Crown Casino in Melbourne after he 'blew the lot on the pokies'.

South Australian senator Nick Xenophon compared Mr Packer's stance on pokies reform to Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe's position on democracy.

Mr Packer today said he was particularly disappointed Mr Wilkie raised the May suicide of the 45-year-old man in a hotel room the casino had provided to him for free.

He said Crown didn't want to fight the Gillard Government because 'we know if there's a fight we will lose'.

Rather, the company wanted a say in how problem gambling was tackled.

'The implementation has got to be right and that's what we hope we can have a small influence in,' Mr Packer said, adding that at a minimum Labor should trial mandatory pre-commitment before rolling it out nationally.

Mr Packer said the scheme would result in Asian tourists going to Macau, Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia to avoid having to 'fill in forms' before playing the pokies.

But the 44-year-old isn't confident the Government will take up the suggestion of a trial.

'Is the Government listening to us?' he said today.

'The Government is trying to make sure they are there tomorrow.'
