In a press release issued on Friday, the Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (CRA) said RWS' new licence comes into effect from February 6. A CRA spokesman said that RWS' compliance record was one of many factors considered with assessing the licence application.
She added: "In renewing RWS' casino licence, CRA has imposed additional requirements on RWS to put in place more robust structures and processes aimed at strengthening its overall compliance of our laws and regulations." Just last month, RWS was penalised us$ 100,000 for breaches of the casino regulations.
Resorts World Sentosa said it was pleased with the renewal of the casino licence.
“As Singapore’s first integrated resort, we are proud to have created 13,000 jobs, and made significant economic and tourism contributions to Singapore since we opened in 2010,” Casino Regulatory Authority stated.
