Matt Gudinski banned from Crown casino after substance found in hotel suite

Matt Gudinski, chief executive of the Mushroom Group, was banned from Crown casino for three months after white powder was found in his hotel suite. Crown Resorts did not report the incident to police or regulators, despite ongoing scrutiny of the casino's operations. Gudinski's ban, which lasted from December 19 to March 13, was a suspension rather than an exclusion order. His license has since been reinstated, and there is no indication of illegal activity on his part. Crown Resorts recently retained its license to operate the Melbourne casino, following reforms after two royal commissions highlighted serious misconduct. The company has faced criticism for not notifying authorities about the substance found in Gudinski's room.
