James Packer is making big plans for all of his casinos. Shortly after announcing his plans to build a $1 billion hotel and casino in Bangaroo, he has also announced his plans to expand Burswood casino, adding 500 new poker machines and 130 gaming tables to the gambling venue. There was initially some conflict over adding new poker machines to the casino, but Packer’s development will be able to be carried out as planned.

In addition to expanding the casino itself, Packer has made plans to build a new luxury hotel on site. The new 500-room Crown Towers hotel will be the largest of its kind in Australia, costing $60 million to build. Packer believes that a new luxury casino is much-needed in Perth, as an increasing number of business travellers and tourists require accommodation.

The new Crown Towers and the casino expansion is predicted attract 80 000 more visitors every year, boosting the local economy. It will not only benefit the tourism market in Australia; it also means good things for the job market. According to recent reports, 700 new jobs will be created as part of the casino expansion, which is fantastic news for the country’s economy.
