(Reuters) - Embattled Australian casino operator Star Entertainment on Friday said the CEO of its Star Gold Coast casino has resigned just three months into the job and days after the casino's license suspension was extended until March.

Mark Mackay was appointed as the chief executive officer of Queensland-based Star Gold Coast in September to implement regulatory reforms that would help lift the suspension of the casino's license, which was earlier set to expire on Dec. 20.

Last week, Star Entertainment said that Queensland's attorney general had extended the suspension of Star Gold Coast casino's license until the end of March next year. The term of the regulator-appointed special manager, who oversees Gold Coast's operations, was also extended to the end of June next year.

Mackay's predecessor, Jessica Mellor announced her exit in mid-April amid an exodus of the casino operator's top officials as it faced a second inquiry into its Sydney operations.
