Billionaire James Packer's private company lost a reported $400million in the last financial year and Crown Resorts had more than $600million reduced from its value, damning financial statements have revealed.

Consolidated Press Holdings, which owns close to a 40 per cent stake in the casino operator, posted a $402million loss for the year ending June 30, 2020.

It's profit revenue was only said to be $16million, compared to a $46million profit from the previous financial year.

Much of the significant deficit was due to the dwindling Crown share price - down more than 25 per cent - as well as the suspension of dividend payments, The Australian reported.

The opening of the casino, which will exclusively cater to high roller gamblers, has since been delayed until at least February next year.

The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority refused to approve the opening of Crown Sydney to the public following explosive admissions that money laundering had 'probably taken place'.

In addition, they discovered Mr Packer had certain agreements in place where he received confidential information.

The COVID-19 pandemic from March onwards this year also saw the temporary closure of Crown's Melbourne and Perth casinos, which saw the company opt to cancel its final dividend for the 2020 financial year.

Crown Resorts' full year net profit has dropped 70 percent to $558.9 million after the gambling giant's results normalised following the sale of its Macau business the previous financial year.

Despite the fall, the resort operator posted a 12.7 percent rise in normalised profit – which excludes win rates made by gamblers – to $385.6 million.

Crown’s results cap a turbulent year for the gambling giant, which included the departure of board member James Packer, a $300,000 fine for pokie tampering and the freeing of 19 staff detained in China as part of a gambling crackdown.

Crown, which owns casinos in Melbourne, Perth and soon-to-be-completed Sydney, reported a 5.4 percent increase in operating revenue to $3.4 billion.

In its Australian resorts, Crown's high-roller VIP program soared by 54.5 percent to register a turnover of $51.5 billion, while on the main gambling floor revenue inched upwards 1.5 percent to $1.68 billion.

John Alexander, Executive Chairman of Crown, said the performance of Crown Melbourne was particularly pleasing.

'Crown's full-year result reflects a solid performance from our Melbourne operation and continued subdued trading in Perth,' said Alexander.

'VIP program play turnover in Australia of $51.5 billion (up 54.5 percent) was a pleasing outcome, particularly at Crown Melbourne (up 73.9 percent), given the difficult trading conditions.'

In a letter to shareholders, Crown said its long-awaited six-star Crown Sydney resort at Barangaroo was on schedule to be completed in three years' time.

Crown Resorts also announced that it would commence proceedings against the Barangaroo Delivery Authority (BDA) in the Supreme Court, over plans BDA had to build a structure that would effectively negate the Sydney Harbour views of Crown Sydney's hotel rooms.

Despite its share price rising 19.4 percent over the last year, Crown Resorts has endured a series of reputation-denting headlines.

In October last year, Crown shareholders gathered at the AGM to discuss accusations made by MP Andrew Wilkie that Crown Melbourne staff were tampering with poker machine chips to allow players to spin without touching the buttons.

In March, Crown Resorts' highest-profile director James Packer stepped down from the board to deal with mental health issues.

In April this year, the Victorian gaming regulator fined Crown $300,000 over the practice of pokie tampering.

Crown declared a final dividend of 30 cents a share, with a total full-year dividend of 60 cents per share, franked at 60 percent.
