History
The Queensland Government called for submissions from interested parties to build and operate a casino in Cairns in January 1992.[7] Casino licence was granted in January 1996. Reef Casino Hotel commenced trading on 31 January.[7]
In 2022, operators of the casino were fined for paying a junket tour operator to bring patrons to the venue.[8]
