The casino at Resorts World Sentosa, Genting's integrated resort in Singapore, is to open on February 14.

The casino opening is part of the initial phased opening of the resort, which began with the opening of its four hotels on January 20, and will be combined with evening previews of its Universal Studios theme park.

"We know a lot of Singaporeans are looking forward to the opening of both our major elements, the casino and Universal Studios Singapore," said Tan Hee Teck, chief executive officer of Resorts World Sentosa.

Tan Sri Lim Kok, chairman of Resorts World Sentosa, added: "In less than three years since the time we broke ground and commened construction for Resorts World Sentosa, we have taken our vision from drawing board to reality. This is a significant milestone in Singapore’s business history.

"We promised to deliver a true integrated resort and we have not deviated from that."
