Casino operator Star Entertainment will be scrutinised by another independent probe after the Queensland government announced a review into its suitability to hold a licence.

Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman had been resisting ordering an inquiry into Star, which operates casinos in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and is behind a major resort development in the state capital.

However, Online Casino she has now ordered a fresh probe into the casino operator after a NSW inquiry heard allegations Star had potentially acted criminally.

"The Palaszczuk government takes the allegations of money laundering and integrity issues very seriously," Ms Fentiman said in a statement.

Terms of reference are yet to be announced, but the Liberal National opposition wants to see an open inquiry that includes public hearings.

"Queenslanders need to be certain that Queen's Wharf is built on the strongest foundations of integrity," treasury spokesman David Janetzki said.

Star is the proponent behind the $3.6 billion Queens Wharf development, an integrated Online Casino and resort in the Brisbane CBD.

It is due to open in mid 2023.
