The Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (CRA) will collaborate with the National University of Singapore (NUS) Department of Mathematics and Department of Statistics and Applied Probability to promote joint research and development activities in the area of mathematical research relating to casino gaming. The Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (Abbreviation: CRA) is a statutory board of the Singapore Government. The CRA is responsible for ensuring that the management and operation of the casinos in Singapore remains free from criminal influence or exploitation. The Casino Control Act was enacted in 2006 to regulate the operations and gaming in casinos in preparation for the opening of the Integrated Resorts (IRs). It establishes and makes provision for the Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (CRA) to administer and enforce the Act, and empowers the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) to issue casino exclusion orders.
