Ultra Tune tycoon is BANNED from Crown Casino amid claims he violently attacked his glamour model girlfriend while living in one of the gambling mecca's suites - as she threatens to release explosive 'secret recordings'
The multi-millionaire boss of car-servicing franchise UltraTune has been banned from Melbourne's Crown Casino after claims he attacked his girlfriend in one their suites.
Business magnate Sean Buckley was told of the ban in recent days by management of the casino.
Mr Buckley's spokesperson said he was seeking clarification.

'Mr Buckley was surprised and bemused by Crown's notice,' the spokesperson told the Herald Sun.
'Prior to moving to Queensland Mr Buckley had stayed at Crown for over 12 months without any issue.'
The spokesperson said no reason had been given by the casino for the ban.
It is the latest blow to befall the tycoon who is locked in an ugly legal battle with his bikini-model ex-girlfriend Jennifer Cruz Cole, after she secretly taped him and handed the recordings to police.
Mr Buckley's lawyers applied for an urgent injunction to stop about 100 recordings from ever being made public, with the request granted last week.
The blonde bombshell said she made the recordings because she needed proof about certain aspects of their relationship, which ended in December.
Mr Buckley's lawyer John Searle told the Supreme Court the recordings were made without his consent and a public release would put Mr Buckley's reputation in 'peril' and cause him financial loss.

Ms Cole's solicitor Zoe Davis told the Supreme Court that part of the recordings reveal a 'violent, violent attack' and were the subject of a criminal investigation.
The injunction case returns to court on February 15, the Herald Sun reported.
Mr Buckley has written a letter to his UltraTune franchisees saying that Ms Cole had joined forces with a disgruntled former business partner to 'destroy him' with 'false claims'.
Ms Cole reportedly spent most of her relationship with Mr Buckley living at a suite in Crown Casino, Melbourne
'Clearly I would prefer not to be talking about these private matters, but because false claims have been aired about me in public which bring up the name of our business it is incumbent upon me to provide you with more information,' the letter says.
The couple first met on the set of an UltraTune commercial featuring Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and AFL great Warwick Capper.
Ms Cole, an elective surgery nurse, was cast alongside the Hollywood star in the comedic 'Unexpected Situations' TV ad that aired about a decade ago.
In 2017, after meeting at Crown Casino in Melbourne they formally started dating.

From that point they were 'inseparable' and 'got along really well'.
The glamorous blonde said she was initially drawn to the automotive entrepreneur because she 'prefers older men'.
'Hot guys who are young and cool are good to look at but I like being courted. It was a lavish lifestyle. I was completely delusional these kinds of people existed - I had never been exposed to that kind of money,' she said.
For most of their relationship the two lived at Crown Casino where Ms Cole had a weekly 'allowance' of about $1750.
Ms Cole has said she was forced to take a lie-detector test to prove her fidelity after Mr Buckley bought her an engagement ring.
