The effects of the coronavirus pandemic are going to be felt for a very long time, especially since the virus still hasn’t been brought under control almost a year after it was first seen.

Resorts World Singapore was cleared to reopen, following a long shutdown from the COVID-19 pandemic, on July 1.

Team SMG Founder JJ Lin, who is a member of the Singapore Esports Association (SGEA), aspires to bring his first-ever Singapore team – since the inception of Team SMG in the esports scene – to a greater height.

Singapore’s plan to establish by 2021 a new body known as the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) to oversee in the city-state all such business including casino resorts, has been described by several knowledgeable commentators as a logical step.

Singapore is looking to get back to business, but not for everyone. As the city-state continues to see new COVID-19 cases, the government has declared that some businesses will be allowed to return to work. Not casinos though, as GGRAsia reports the current gaming shutdown is expected to be extended.

With Covid-19 still running rampant through countries, the final major of the season has been cancelled.

Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority said “There is no change to the status of the casinos which are not considered essential services, and they will remain closed during the circuit breaker period.”

The Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) will also govern terrestrial gambling services currently overseen by the Singapore Totalisator Board, illegal gambling activities enforced by the Singapore Police Force and even responsible gambling measures currently controlled by the Ministry of Social and Family Development.

Such actions include “social distancing measures” currently in place at the property’s casino. At the casino, they are practicing social distancing measures by opening and closing alternate areas/game types to spread the crowds. Crowding at some areas of the gaming floor is also being monitored and further measures to disperse crowds around slot banks/tables will be practiced.

Gambling is a fun activity pursued by people from all over the globe. Thanks to numerous technological innovations and the invention of online casino platforms, gambling is more accessible than ever.
