The Star casino's coronavirus protocols have come under scrutiny after security guards told a man with a 48C temperature to 'cool down and come back'.

A viral video posted by the satirical news site The Chaser, put the Sydney venue's COVID-19 screening process to the test in a comedic video.

The presenter artificially raised his temperature by putting a heat pack on his forehead to find out 'how sick you have to be for them not to let you gamble?'

But The Star have labelled the 'edited' video a 'stunt' and said it doesn't represent what really happened.

Scroll down the video.

When he attempts to enter the gaming floor, guards carry out a temperature check using an infrared thermometer gun.

But when reading comes back at 48C, the blasé security guards tell the man to 'cool down for 10 minutes or so' and 'come back'.

Seemingly unconcerned by the extremely high reading - 11C above what is considered normal at 37C - a guard suggests that perhaps his 'Russian hat' is to blame for the reading.

The alarmingly casual approach to the screening process comes after a coronavirus-positive man visited the The Star two months earlier.

A gambler visited the glitzy venue on July 4 and was later found to be infected.

At the beginning of the video, a Chaser presenter arrives at the casino in a hospital gown and attempts to make entry but he is refused.

The Star told Daily Mail Australia the 'gown stunt' was their last interaction with security officers.

'Clearly this has been created as a comedic and satirical stunt. It's what these guys do,' the casino said in statement.

'However, the video published completely misrepresents events through substantial editing and reordering of events.

'No one with a high temperature was permitted entry to the casino and the hospital gown episode was reported to police due to welfare concerns.

'Further, the claim that the person in the gown later gained entry after changing clothes is false.

NSW recorded four new COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8pm on Sunday.

The Star Casino is taking a Singaporean gambling mogul to court over a $43million debt he allegedly racked up in seven days in one of the world's biggest-ever gambling debt recovery cases.

Wong Yew Choy is being sued by Star Gold Coast in Queensland after allegedly failing to settle his dues after a costly week playing cards.

The 56-year-old, who calls himself 'Dr Wong', was seduced to the casino by glamorous VIP marketing executive Teazel Yaw under the promise of visiting its VIP gaming rooms.

Dr Wong arrived on July 26 via the venue's private jet, before being gifted a stay in the penthouse with his entourage and $100,000 of 'lucky money'.

He handed over a blank check in exchange for $40million in gambling chips, which he promptly lost playing the popular card game baccarat.

While the prolific gambler was granted access to an extra $10million, he blew most of it and finished his trip on August 2 with debts allegedly amounting to $43,209,853, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.

The casino argued Dr Wong gave casino bosses permission to use a blank cheque he gave a sister branch in Sydney in 2017 to settle his dues - but the cheque bounced.

Dr Wong, who amassed his fortune gambling in the Philippines and the Isle of Man, has allegedly failed to repay any of the money and has ignored letters demanding repayments.

The casino first tried to recoup the money in a Singapore court in one of the world's biggest-ever gambling debt recovery cases but the matter was thrown out on July 7

Dr Wong's legal team argued Star executive, Paul Arbuckle, promised him that any losses up to July 30, 2018, would be written off as 'mistakes' by casino dealers.

The Singaporean High Court heard he was a 'high valued and respected patron of casinos around the world' and was frequently given incentives to play.

The law suit has now been lodged in the Supreme Court in Brisbane will return to court, but there is no set date.

The high roller denies he owes the casino money and claims a casino boss told him his losses were waived due to alleged mistakes by dealers.

The game baccarat accounts for the majority of gaming in Macau in China.

The dealer hands two cards to the player and two cards to themselves. The object is to get closer to nine than the opposite hand.
