Last November, the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA)<\/strong> renewed the casino licence of\u00a0Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)<\/strong>\u00a0for two years. The renewal would normally be for three years, but the Evaluation Panel considered that\u00a0RWS\u2019s tourism performance<\/strong>\u00a0from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023, was \u201cunsatisfactory, with a number of areas that require rectification and substantial improvement\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Regulation 5 of the Casino Control<\/a> (Casino Licence and Fees) Regulations 2009, the GRA has the authority to define a licence duration that is less than three years. A new evaluation will be carried out in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GRA said it will continue to work with the Ministry of Trade & Industry, the Singapore Tourism Board and the casino operator, to \u201censure that RWS meets the requirement to develop, maintain and promote its IR as a compelling tourist destination”.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
