The country’s financial crimes watchdog has begun scrutinising the NSW clubs industry, issuing notices to one of the biggest operators of lucrative poker machines, Mounties.

The club, in Sydney’s south-western suburbs, has received correspondence from the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre regarding its compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism laws.
