JOHANNESBURG, Sept 9(Reuters) - Sun International reported a 9.1% rise in first-half earnings on Monday, as record growth in the South African casino and hotel group's betting business helped drive its income. "Mark's appointment and relevant experience further strengthens our leadership team as we focus on implementing the necessary reforms at The Star," The Star chair Anne Ward said of Mr Mackay's appointment in a statement to ASX.

NSW Premier Chris Minns said on Monday that pressures on the state budget meant there could be no repeat of a previous deal with The Star, under which a planned poker-machine tax hike was deferred in return for a transitional agreement with a guarantee for 3000 jobs. The owner of the Sun City resort and Maslow Sandton and Table Bay high-end hotels said adjusted headline earnings per share - its main profit measure - rose to 2.15 rand ($0.1201) in the six months to June 30, from 1.97 rand a year earlier.

Sunbet was the stand-out with a 71.8% rise in income to 512 million rand. Sun International, which achieved mixed results across its segments, said in a statement its urban casino income - its biggest revenue generator - was flat at 3.3 billion rand. "The gaming industry is experiencing dynamic changes and Sun International, through Sunbet, will continue leveraging its strong brand and market presence to expand our customer base and enter new online markets across Africa," Sun International said If you have any type of inquiries concerning where and how you can make use of คาสิโนออนไลน์มาใหม่ล่าสุด, you can call us at our internet site. .
