Debated in Parliament on 12 Nov 2012.
Mr Png Eng Huat asked the Acting Minister for Social and Family Development from 2010 to October 2012 (a) what is the number of annual casino entry passes sold per year by each of the two casinos; and (b) what is the amount of casino entry levies collected by each casino per year.

Casino entry levies collected in 2010 and 2011 were about $216 million and $195 million respectively. About $134 million has been collected from January to September 2012. However, data on the number of annual casino entry levies collected by each casino operator and the amount of casino entry levies collected by each casino operator is commercially sensitive.
All casino entry levies are paid to the Singapore Totalisator Board and are used for public, social and charitable purposes.
