SINGAPORE: Singapore’s casino regulator is investigating allegations of illegal activities in the city-state’s casinos, its spokesman said yesterday.
The regulator has “received some information alleging illegal activities in the casinos. The authorities take these allegations seriously and have initiated investigations,” the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) said in an emailed statement. The investigations follow comments from Las Vegas Sands’ chief executive, Sheldon Adelson, that unlicensed junket representatives could be operating in Singapore. Junket operators bring in gambling groups in return for commissions from casinos.
