又有一起澳洲公司惨遭厄运：Star娱乐集团（ASX:SGR）及其在悉尼、黄金海岸和布里斯班的赌场。
Amidst fines, regulatory issues, AUSTRAC investigations, missteps by former managers, and the previous board's follies—not to mention gambling controversies and doubts about its future—the company was forced to disclose another embarrassment on Monday. The poker machines in its three casino complexes have been switched off due to a technical upgrade gone awry, with no immediate fix in sight.
在罚款、监管问题、AUSTRAC调查、前管理人员的失误、以及前任董事会的错误判断，更不用说博彩争议和对公司未来的质疑等问题中，该公司于周一被迫披露另一则尴尬事情。由于技术升级出了问题，其三个赌场终止了各种扑克游戏机的运营，并且短时间内无法解决。
The problem surfaced just two days ago—on Saturday, to be precise. Star had been in the process of upgrading the technology in the poker machines and their associated systems in preparation for the introduction of cashless gaming.
问题在仅仅两天前，也就是周六出现。Star当时正在升级扑克游戏机和相关系统，准备采用非现金博彩。
According to Star, "certain systems" experienced disruptions during this upgrade, identified during post-upgrade testing. As a result, the decision was made to power down all Electronic Gaming Machines and Electronic Table Games across Star's three properties from 10:00 PM on July 13, 2024, until the issue is resolved.
据Star表示，在升级后的测试中，"某些系统"经历了故障。因此，决定从2024年7月13日晚上10点开始，在这个问题得到解决之前关闭所有三个赌场的所有电子游戏机和电子桌面游戏。
"The Star made this decision to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and to uphold the company's commitment to safer gambling procedures."
"Star做出了这个决定，以确保符合相关规定，并保持公司对更安全的博彩程序的承诺。"
The company stated that it is collaborating closely with its external provider, Konami, "to promptly address these operational issues and will provide further updates once operations return to normal." Meanwhile, Star clarified that the casinos remain open for table games, entertainment, and dining.
该公司表示，正在与其外部提供商康拿美密切合作，"迅速解决这些运营问题，并在运营恢复正常后提供进一步的更新。" 与此同时，Star澄清赌场仍然开放供餐饮、娱乐和桌面游戏等。
In a separate statement following an earlier announcement to the ASX regarding positive news, the company declared:
在此之前，公司发布了一份关于良好消息的声明：
