Singapore fines MBS, censors Resorts World Sentosa over breaches

Singapore’s regulatory authority has imposed a fine on Las Vegas Sands’ Marina Bay Sands property and censored Genting Singapore’s Resorts World Genting for breaches of regulations relating to locals gambling.

The Casino Regulatory Authority fined Marina Bay Sands $65,000 ($48,000) and issued two letters of censure to Resorts World Sentosa.

The breaches had been reported or detected between July 1 and Dec 31, 2013.

MBS was fined $20,000 for allowing four Singaporeans and permanent residents to remain on its casino premises after their 24-hour entry levies had expired. It was fined a further $45,000 for allowing two people with exclusion orders, which bar them from entry, to enter its casino.

RWS was penalized for allowing two Singaporeans without valid entry levies to enter its casino. Singapore charges residents a $100 entry fee.
