SINGAPORE: The Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (CRA) has fined Marina Bay Sands S$337,500 and Resorts World at Sentosa S$190,000.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the authority said the fines are for breaches of social safeguard measures that it detected for the period of May 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
By law, the two companies need to keep certain groups of Singapore citizens and permanent residents from entering its casinos, including those without valid entry levies, those banned from entering the casinos by an exclusion order, and those under 21 years of age.
CRA said it takes a serious view of the lapses as the social safeguard measures have been put in place to protect the vulnerable from the harms of casino gambling.
It said it will keep up its vigilance and take firm action against regulatory breaches.
