Anti-gambling groups in Australia have raised concerns about the negative impacts that could arise from the opening of a new skyscraper casino in Sydney Harbour.

On Aug. 8, gaming group Crown officially opened the doors to the VIP-only gaming floors of its $2.2 billion (US$1.52 billion) casino complex in Barangaroo after authorities suspended its operating license for more than a year.
