The court ruled in favour of The Star Entertainment Qld Limited on Monday morning.

A Singaporean gambling baron has been ordered to repay nearly $38.7 million in gambling debts after a judge ruled in favour of The Star Entertainment QLD Limited on Monday.

Billionaire high-roller Dr Yew Choy Wong left a five-day junket to play in a baccarat tournament on the Gold Coast in 2018 owing The Star Gold Coast $43 million. When casino staff attempted to recoup debts and cash the cheque at the National Australia Bank in Bundall on the Gold Coast, it bounced. The Star agreed that three incidents warranted complaint and a conversation was had between Wong and chief operating officer Paul Arbuckle on July 30, 2018.
