The Star casino at Pyrmont is likely to be the state's most violent venue, new figures show, yet it remains exempt from key NSW government policies aimed at reducing alcohol-fuelled violence.

A recent Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research review of the effect on violence of lockout laws in Kings Cross and central Sydney revealed the number of assaults occurring in and around The Star.

It said between February and September last year there were an average of 6.3 assaults per month – up from 3.5 in the corresponding period for 2013.

The figures the bureau published for the Star included, but were not restricted to, alcohol-related assaults.
