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 online casino inquiry into the gambling giant's suitability to hold a online 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.
