Queensland's attorney-general has urged anyone with concerns about Star Entertainment to refer them to an inquiry, after media reports linked a key shareholder in its Brisbane casino development with Chinese crime figures.
Star is under intense scrutiny after money laundering allegations and organised crime links emerged in a recent NSW inquiry into its Sydney casino.
A Queensland inquiry into the gambling giant's suitability to hold a casino licence in the state is set to hear from witnesses from Tuesday.
The ABC reports Hong Kong firm Chow Tai Fook, which received state government approval to take a stake in Star's $3.6 billion Queens Wharf development in Brisbane, has links to notorious Chinese organised crime.
Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman says any allegations involving the gambling giant or its associates should be examined by the inquiry, which is being led by Court of Appeal Judge Robert Gotterson.
"We are absolutely committed to ensuring Queensland casinos operate lawfully and in a way that maintains high standards of integrity and public confidence," Ms Fentiman told AAP in a statement on Monday.
"If anyone has any ongoing concerns about the Star or their associates such as Chow Tai Fook, I would encourage them to refer them to the independent review for consideration."
Star Entertainment has refused to comment on the allegations.
"In the context of the public hearings commencing this week in connection with the review of The Star's casino operations in Queensland ...The Star does not consider it appropriate to comment at this time," the company stated on the ASX.
The Palaszczuk cabinet in 2015 approved Chow Tai Fook for a stake in the casino and resort development at Queens Wharf, which is set to open next year.
The ABC reports the company is linked with Macau gambling boss Stanley Ho and has historic connections with Chinese triad organised crime syndicates.
