Genting Berhad, the developer of one of Singapore’s two new integrated gaming resorts, says it is confident the city will not suffer from the kind of gaming market stagnation seen in Macau.
According to Robin Goh, assistant vice president of the US$6 billion Resorts World at Sentosa, the presence of two world class attractions on its premises—Southeast Asia’s only Universal Studios theme park and Marine Life Park, the world’s largest oceanarium—will be the driver that Macau currently lacks.
“We believe that Resorts World’s proposition as a complete destination is its key differentiation from Macau, which is still very skewed towards gaming,” Mr Goh told the Malaysia Star.
“Macau only has casinos and big hotels whereas RWS will be home to some of the world’s leading attractions, including the Universal Studios theme park which will occupy almost half of the resort,” he said.
He said the theme park would feature 24 movie-themed rides, 18 of which were designed exclusively for Singapore.
