Don Casino (1979–83)[edit]
The first casino in Darwin, and the second in Australia, operated at the Don Hotel, Cavenagh Street, and was granted a licence as the 'Don Casino' in 1979.[1]
Mindil Beach Casino (1983–85)[edit]
The licence was in 1983 transferred to the Mindil Beach Casino.[2][3] In 1984, the Territory government forcibly acquired it, along with the Alice Springs Casino, from Federal Hotels for $50 million.[4] A joint venture between Greate Bay Casino Corp. (owner of the Sands Atlantic City) and Aspinall Holdings (a British casino operator) was set up to operate the two casinos.[5]
Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino (1985–95)[edit]
The Mindil Beach Casino was renamed as the Diamond Beach Hotel and Casino. Aspinall bought out Greate Bay's interest for US$1 million in 1986,[6] and then acquired the territorial government's 17 percent interest for $5 million in 1987.[4]
MGM Grand Darwin (1995–2004)[edit]
In 1995, MGM Grand acquired the property for US$75 million, including US$13 million of assumed debt.[7] It was renamed as the MGM Grand Darwin.
Skycity Darwin (2004–2019)[edit]
The Skycity Entertainment Group purchased the hotel in 2004 for $195 million and took ownership on 23 July 2004.[8]
Mindil Beach Casino & Resort (2019–present)[edit]
Skycity sold the hotel to American company Delaware North in April 2019 for $188 million.[9][10] Delaware North changed the property's name to Mindil Beach Casino & Resort to reflect one of its original names and its modern resort facilities.[11]
