‘Complex’ gaming landscape needs regulatory consolidation, Singapore minister says

In the ever changing gaming landscape, Singaporean Second Minister for Manpower and Home Affairs Josephine Teo says it pays to be smarter than the gambling operators.

Teo is pushing for a greater consolidation of casino regulatory functions amid the growing complexities of the country’s gambling industry, according to The Business Times report.

The Singaporean minister noted that the country has different regulations and agencies for casinos, remote gambling, and private club-operated slot machines instead of having a unified law and governing body to address these three segments.

At present, the country plays host to two casino properties: Genting Singapore Plc.’s Resorts World Sentosa and Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s Marina Bay Sands.
