Mr Gotterson has recommended casinos introduce gambling cards with a person's identity as well as $1000 cash transaction limits to reduce the likelihood of money laundering and to help gambling addicts.

Star managing director Matt Beiker resigned inside the third week of hearings after an auditor said he'd been berated by the casino boss for reporting the organisation was not doing enough to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.

It is powered by a naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine that revs beyond 10,000rpm and develops 840bhp with a wailing soundtrack that can be heard in its ear-splitting glory in the promotional video of it being trashed around the Jerez circuit in Spain while cloaked in a camouflage wrap.

"I have no doubt making the BDR compulsory for licensees, giving police more agility and the courts more scope to place problem drinkers on the BDR will lead to a reduction in alcohol-related harm and crime."

McLaren says the 25 customer cars will weigh under 1,000kg - so less than a tiny city car - and its aerodynamic package has been honed in the company's wind tunnel and is said to generate in excess of 1,200kg of downforce.

Converted in traditional Arab style from a huddle of fishermen's houses, it will instal sound systems and gaming consoles in the players' rooms, and this week, at the FA's request, a swimming pool was hastily being dug.)

Some 25 of McLaren's most dedicated and well-heeled customers have splashed out £3million on its latest ultra-exclusive hypercar unveiled over the weekend - but kids have been driving it in their bedrooms for five years.

He later blamed a poor culture at the casino for its failure to clamp down on money laundering and misleading banks and the regulator, revealing he personally green-lit an $11million line of credit to a high roller and okayed illegal lending.

Every man has his price, as Sir Robert Walpole is reputed to have said, and richer men than Beckham, 47, would doubtless have been drawn in by the offer of £150 million. But why were the Qataris so eager to hire his services?

Soon his wife, Victoria, will join him, lending her presence to a prestigious fashion competition for talented young Arab designers, chaired by her friend Sheikha Al- Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the sister of Qatar's ruling emir.

Star Entertainment could have its gaming licences torn up at two of its Queensland Casinos with an inquiry set to hand down a damning report on Thursday alleging money laundering, tax fraud and offering gifts for suspected criminals.

Grand Theft Auto VI will feature the video game franchise's... Sony officially reveals 'the future of gaming' with its... Zuckerberg claims new 'mixed reality' headset will 'bring... Do YOU suffer from 'gamer rage'? Over HALF of people who...

'We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto,' Rockstar said in a statement. 

The report from the Queensland inquiry comes a month after the report by the NSW gaming regulator found Star had repeatedly breached the law, misled banks and was infiltrated by criminal elements for years (pictured, Star Casino in Sydney) 

The hacker, who also claims to be behind a cyber incident at Uber last week, posted a message on the forum about seeking to 'negotiate a deal' with Take-Two Interactive Software, owner of Rockstar, which publishes the GTA pkv games

Yet one only needs to be in Qatar a short time to understand the symmetry between this wealth-obsessed outpost and the Beckhams (and make no mistake, Victoria is as in thrall to this homophobic emirate as her husband).

The walls of her café in Doha's central marketplace (where she remains the only female trader) show photographs of her posing with Hollywood stars such as Tilda Swinton, model Jodie Kidd and other ex-footballers such as Chelsea's John Terry.

A few weeks ago, when Beckham's new paymasters released his first promotional film — a breezy, cheesy videoblog aimed at boosting Qatar as a stopover tourist destination — he just had to be seen eating a traditional breakfast cooked by the legendary Madam Shams.

Star Entertainment could have its gaming licences torn up at two of its Queensland Casinos with an inquiry set to hand down a damning report on Thursday alleging money laundering, tax fraud and offering gifts for suspected criminals.

McLaren says the new Solus GT is a 'stunning realisation of a concept car from the screens of virtual racing into an extreme expression of track driving engagement that will exhilarate in the real world'

Looking down from above at the car, it's a heavily chiselled shape that's dictated by the angular aero pods on each of the four wheels that are there to reduce turbulent airflow and cover the double-wishbone suspension arms.
