The term integrated resort (IR) is used to describe a major resort property that includes a hotel with casino, together with convention facilities, entertainment shows, theme parks, luxury retail and fine dining. Earlier IR licenses were awarded to Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, which both began operations in early 2010, and were by 2013 the most profitable casinos in the world. Invoking the Third-Party Casino Exclusion clause, the government will exclude 15,000 Singaporeans from entering Singapore casinos. This consists of 12,000 ComCare aid recipients now on short to medium term assistance, most of which are unemployed and in financial need.

Million-dollar con get two gamblers listed in Nevada’s 'black book'
How a million-dollar con got two gamblers listed in Nevada’s 'black book.'
Two names have been added to Nevada’s “black book,” meaning the two craps players are banned from entering casinos in the state after swindling the Bellagio on the Las Vegas Strip of more than $1 million.
Getting Banned From A Casino
Anthony Grant Granito and James Russell Cooper, who became the 33rd and 34th persons to be placed on the state’s list of people barred from entering casinos, were among a group of four men who scammed the casino between August 2012 and July 2014 of an estimated $1.2 million, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Casino officials became aware of the con in 2014 after noticing several bets that won despite 452 billion-to-1 odds, according to the Review-Journal.
Granito and Cooper, along with Jeffrey Martin and Mark Branco were convicted in 2016 and sentenced to prison on theft and cheating charges, the paper reported.
Branco, who worked at the Bellagio as a craps dealer, would have to be working at the same table with Cooper for the scheme to work, the paper reported, citing Cooper’s grand jury testimony.

They also placed legitimate bets and lost thousands to make their scheme look less suspicious, according to the Review-Journal.
