Leisure, Gaming & Hospitality

Supporting the experience economy

Operators across gaming, hospitality and leisure are challenged with delivering great experiences while managing rising costs, shifting regulations and changing customer expectations.

Rising costs, tightening regulations and increasing operational pressures are placing significant strain on gaming operators, bars, pubs and clubs. Meanwhile hotels, restaurants and sporting clubs are dealing with volatile revenues and escalating operating expenses, while sporting organisations must also navigate complex stakeholder dynamics.

The margin for error is small. The gaming sector in particular faces increased scrutiny around financial crime and anti-money laundering compliance, with regulators demanding robust controls and transparent reporting. Without a clear plan and decisive action, businesses risk lasting reputational or financial damage.

At KordaMentha, we help you manage these pressures and build resilience. With over 23 years’ experience in restructuring and operational improvement, we deliver in tough situations. We help you transform operating models, align costs to revenues and mitigate risk for long-term resilience.

We’ve worked with major leisure, gaming and hospitality organisations across Australia, providing independent, conflict-free advice on financial crime, forensics, compliance investigations and disputes. Working alongside boards and executives, we help you embed sustainable compliance structures that protect your bottom line, reputation and future.
