A royal commission will examine whether Crown Perth is fit to hold a casino licence following revelations of money laundering.
Attorney-General John Quigley and Gaming and Wagering Minister Paul Papalia announced the royal commission on Friday, saying it was expected to cost $5m.
The probe will examine Crown Perth’s operations and existing regulatory frameworks, including actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

Three commissioners have been appointed — former Supreme Court judges Neville Owen and Lindy Jenkins, and former Auditor-General Colin Murphy.
The commission is expected to deliver interim findings in June, followed by a final report in November.

It resulted in NSW revoking a gaming licence for the new $2.2bn facility at Barangaroo in Sydney.
