RWS' casino licence renewed for only 2 years after 'unsatisfactory' tourism performance
The Straits Times
|November 20, 2024
Resorts World Sentosa's (RWS) casino licence has been renewed for two years instead of three, after its tourism performance was found unsatisfactory by the authorities.
In a statement on Nov 18, the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) said the renewal will take effect from Feb 6, 2025.
When contacted, a GRA spokesperson said this is the first time it has issued a casino licence with a tenure shorter than three years.
In deciding the new licence period, the agency said it took into account RWS' ability to "develop, maintain and promote its integrated resort as a compelling tourist destination that meets prevailing market demand and industry standards", among other factors.
