Resorts World Sentosa’s casino licence renewed for shorter 2-year term due to ‘unsatisfactory tourism performance’
RWS is deemed by the authorities to be suitable to manage and operate the casino
THE authorities have renewed the casino licence of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), an integrated resort operated by Genting Singapore , for another two years, beginning Feb 6 next year.
In a bourse filing on Monday (Nov 18), the casino operator said that the renewal was granted after RWS was deemed to be suitable to manage and operate the casino.
The authorities had also taken into consideration RWS’ ability to develop, maintain and promote the integrated resort as a “compelling tourist destination” based on its performance from 2021 to 2023, just after the Covid-19 pandemic.
