How Many Land-Based Casinos in Singapore?

How many casinos are there in Singapore? Two. Singapore’s Casino Control Act allows no more than two casino licences until 31 December 2030, and the two casinos are the ones at the Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa integrated resorts. Neither stands alone: each is one part of a larger resort with hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions.

This guide covers both, with figures from the resorts’ own websites, their owners’ reports and Singapore law, and explains who may enter: adults aged 21 and over only, with Singapore citizens and permanent residents paying an entry levy first.

1. Marina Bay Sands

The casino at Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, spans four levels. Marina Bay Sands’ own casino page lists approximately 600 table games and 3,000 electronic gaming machines, with over 200 game titles on the machines, and the casino is open 24 hours daily.

Las Vegas Sands, which owns the resort, reports about 157,000 square feet (roughly 14,600 square metres) of gaming space there in its annual report for 2025, and since 21 September 2026 Singapore law caps the casino’s gaming area at 16,000 square metres and its gaming machines at 3,000. The table games it lists include baccarat, roulette, sic bo, blackjack, poker and craps, and several of its slot titles carry progressive jackpots, where the top prize grows as people play.

2. Resorts World Sentosa Casino

Singapore’s other casino is Resorts World Casino, part of Resorts World Sentosa on the resort island of Sentosa. Its owner, Genting Singapore, calls Resorts World Sentosa Singapore’s first integrated resort and dates the casino’s opening to 14 February 2010, the first day of that year’s Chinese New Year.

Since 21 September 2026, Singapore law caps its gaming area at 15,000 square metres and its gaming machines at 2,900.

The resort around it spans 49 hectares, with Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Cove Waterpark, the Singapore Oceanarium, the WEAVE retail and lifestyle destination and several hotels, including Crockfords Tower, an all-suite hotel that opened with the resort’s first hotels on 20 January 2010.

Conclusion

Singapore has two casinos, at Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, and the law allows no more than two casino licences until the end of 2030. A gambling cruise ship is not a land-based casino and is not one of the two casinos licensed under the Casino Control Act, so none is listed here.

Marina Bay Sands’ conditions of entry require visitors from abroad to show identification proving they are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents. Citizens and permanent residents pay an entry levy of S$150 for 24 hours or S$3,000 for a year (Casino Control Act, section 116), and no one under 21 may enter.

Set a budget before you go and stop when it is spent. Singapore’s National Council on Problem Gambling takes applications for self-exclusion from the casinos and for voluntary visit limits, and its helpline, 1800-6-668-668, is open daily from 8am to 11pm.
