VGCCC reveals new EGM restrictions for Crown Melbourne 

The Victorian Gambling Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has implemented new rules at Crown Melbourne to align with responsible gambling objectives. Players can no longer use items to hold down EGM buttons and can only use one machine at a time. Additional regulations may be implemented in the future. VGCCC now has access to surveillance equipment and casino records at Crown Resorts, and casino employees must assist VGCCC inspectors. These changes follow recommendations from the Victorian Royal Commission in response to money laundering and other issues at Crown Resorts.
