The future of the industry

Singapore will develop on the principle of "quality instead of scale."

The regulator will retain a rigid model with two integrated resorts, allowing only calibrated changes in table/slot limits and license requirements.

The focus is on the premium mass segment, events and MICE, as well as on responsible gaming technologies: in-depth KYC, behavioral analytics, biometric access control, cashless payments and proactive harm reduction measures.

Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa extensions will be tied to non-gambling investments (hotels, entertainment, convention venues).

The ban on private online casinos will continue; remote products will remain in the perimeter of state operators.

Key risks - Asian IR competition, fluctuations in tourist flow and an increase in compliance costs; the answer is stable tax and regulatory policies, increased transparency and a focus on sustainable tourism.
