Star City is the only legal casino in Sydney. The gaming operations are overseen and controlled by the New South Wales Casino Control Authority and is licenced to be the only legal casino in New South Wales. The casino in late 2008 was granted a 12 year extension of its exclusivity and licence roulette spielen. Tabcorp, the owners of Star City, then announced a $475 million refurbishment program called Project Star which involves the re-orientation of the casino towards Sydney Harbour, including a new "iconic" entrance and drop-off zone on the harbour side of the casino site.
