Casino news from http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz A landmark hearing to decide whether to suspend Dunedin Casino's licence is underway in Auckland. The Department of Internal Affairs is asking the Gambling Commission to suspend the licence, because of the Casino's dealings with problem gambler, Christine Keenan. The Mosgiel woman stole about $500,000 from her employers, to help fuel a gambling turnover of $5 million in two years. Gambling Commission spokesman Graham Reeves says it is uncharted territory, as this is the first application of its kind in New Zealand. The hearing runs for two days.
