Graeme (Crofty) began his casino career in 1985 at Jupiter’s Casino as a dealer / inspector on Australia’s Gold Coast before moving onto Diamond Beach Casino in Darwin. This grass roots experience proved invaluable as he moved into senior management roles.

In 1991 Crofty relocated to S.E.Asia to work for ICS onboard the MV Orient Sun, a high stakes casino cruise ship catering to junkets and premium players. Crofty’s abilities were quickly apparent to ICS and as a result he rapidly rose to a senior executive level within our organisation. He went on to play a major role in the start up of several other high stakes casino cruise ships which at that time involved dealing with the largest baccarat action in the world.

In 1995 Crofty moved to the South Pacific and managed casinos in Tahiti, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu for ICS.

Crofty has been since been involved in the pre-opening and expansion of a number of casinos in the Asia / South Pacific region including 3 additional properties for ICS. Crofty was Casino Operations Manager of the Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino, a five star casino resort in the US Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas. The Tinian Dynasty marketed almost exclusively to junket and premium players from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan.

Crofty has since held key roles in a diverse range of gaming operations including listed Internet wagering companies and several land based casino projects around the world.
