Sky City is planning to invest up to $250 million in its Adelaide Casino.

The company today said it was in negotiations with the South Australian government on plans to expand and enhance the Adelaide casino and hospitality facilities, supporting the state government's vision for "the transformation of the Adelaide riverfront into a world-class entertainment precinct".

The investment would support developments being announced by the state government, including the Adelaide Convention Centre and Adelaide Oval redevelopment, Sky City said.

While remaining subject to a range of necessary approvals, Adelaide Casino's plans would see the expansion of the current facility towards the riverfront.

It would include new and expanded gaming facilities including private gaming areas, dedicated car parking, and the creation of new sports bars, bars and restaurants.

The developments would enable the casino to compete on an equal footing with similar properties in other major cities, which attracted millions of visitors each year, Sky City said.

Sky City managing director Nigel Morrison said the potential expansion of Adelaide Casino would deliver a facility more in keeping with Adelaide's scale and stature as a leading Australian city.
