Darwin's only casino opened in 1979 as the Don Casino, operating out of the Don Hotel on Cavenagh Street. The present site of the hotel and casino on Darwin's Mindil Beach opened in 1983, at which point gambling operations ceased at the Don Hotel and resumed at the newly built facilities. The new hotel and casino was named Mindil Beach Casino until 1985, when the name changed to the Diamond Beach Hotel Casino. Upon its acquisition by [[MGM Resorts International|MGM Grand]] the hotel was rebranded as the [[MGM Grand Darwin]], before it changed to [[Skycity Darwin]] after [[Skycity Entertainment Group]] purchased the hotel in 2004.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU0402/S00118.htm|title=Skycity Confirms MGM Grand Darwin Acquisition &#124; Scoop News}}</ref>
