April 13 (Reuters) - SkyCity Entertainment Group SKC.NZ will no longer deal with junket operators and instead manage international customers directly, the New Zealand-based casino operator said on Tuesday.

Junkets are casino tours arranged by third parties for foreign clients, often from China where gambling is banned.

Dealings with junket operators have come under regulatory scrutiny in Australia, where SkyCity operates a casino in Adelaide, over lax vetting and reports of links to organised crime and money laundering. said it would consult gaming regulators in both New Zealand and South Australia about its revised business model.
