The footage appears to show a man pulling bricks of $50 and $100 banknotes from a shopping bag and exchanging them for high-value casino chips.
This, it is claimed, is a regular occurrence in the Suncity junket room, a dedicated highroller gambling area in the Crown run by a Macau-based tour operator catering to wealthy Chinese gamblers.
The alleged money-laundering claims made it all the way to the federal parliament as MP Andrew Wilkie called for a Royal Commission to investigate the gambling industry.

Then Crown has come under fire on numerous occasions, allegations of money laundering, machine tampering, drug running and domestic violence at the casino all appearing over the past few years.

A Crown spokesperson responded by saying there is 'no basis to these allegations' and claiming that it has “a comprehensive anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing program”.
