Resorts World Sentosa Gets Licence To Run Casino
SINGAPORE, Feb 7 (Bernama) -- The newly-opened Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), Singapore's first integrated resort with a casino, has obtained the licence from the Singapore authority to operate the casino.
RWS chairman Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay said the resort was very happy to have received the casino licence yesterday.
In a statement, Lim, who is also Genting Malaysia chairman, said this was made possible by the dedicated team, consultants, contractors and government officials, especially the Casino Regulatory Authority, "which worked tirelessly to set up the regulatory framework within a very aggressive timeline".
However, Lim did not mention when the already completed casino in the resort will start its business.
The resort, which is located on Sentosa island here, opened its doors to the public last month with the launch of four of its six hotels including Hard Rock Hotel and Crockfords Tower.
RWS is still waiting for another licence to operate the Universal Studio theme park in the resort, dubbed the biggest in Southeast Asia.
