Yes, a player and dealer were prosecuted for collusion first coupla years of casi opening; also other similar situations in the early days e.g. dealer putting $500 chip in his mouth, bar staff shortchanging casino on drinks etc etc. It's government licensed and highly regulated with govt officials on site. Once I asked them about my total in a BJ tournament 2 days before, and they iewed tapes and got back to me within 20 minutes. Media sensationalises the casinos problems so there is transparency.
Kerry Packer, richest man in Oz/main shareholder in Crown I think, plays baccarat mainly, wins and loses several million in a night. Crown Casino (Melbourne) flies in Asian whales some who play $lmilln minimums; think Sydney Casino stopped these junkets because a ery lucky baccarat player won millions and now they don't chase the big stuff anymore. Also Asian economic crisis 5 yrs ago put the kibosh on a lot of that.
IMO there's little to beat a hot predictable streaky baccarat shoe, with 21 bettors filling each of the 7 boxes with 3 maximum bets, and the dealer pulling out a long run of wins to the same side, time after time after time; often with a 9 topping an 8 or an 8 topping a 7, a 9 showing on the wrong side then getting an ace to make it baccarat. Blackjack is deadly boring by comparison on land, hence I hardly ever play it. But baccarat is dull online with BJ being more interesting for me as it's l-1.
Biggest winner in a night that I personally know won much smaller, but still a great 12 x $40,000 hands in a row! He's already a young selfmade millionaire, so lost double what he made that night back, but was then smart enough to ban himself. He was telling me that one of USA's top dozen billionaires was gambling alongside him downstairs one night during the Americas Cup Challenge, and his max. bet seemed to be around $50; wise man!
