A new casino licence is available in Brisbane - and it won't be the only one going, with the government announcing it is offering up to three new licences across the state.

One of those licences is earmarked for the government precinct redevelopment in Brisbane's city.

Representatives from James Packer's Crown empire and Echo Entertainment, which owns the existing

Treasury Casino have already engaged in fierce lobbying for the new licence, despite its existence only being confirmed on Monday.
