(Reuters) - Genting Singapore's casino broke the law by partially reimbursing the annual entry fee paid by some local people, and staff could face criminal charges for providing misleading information, the city state's casino regulator said on Wednesday.

(RWS.L) gave incentives such as concert tickets and hotel accommodation to around 3,400 locals who paid a S$2,000 annual levy to enter the casino, breaching a major social safeguard against problem gambling, the Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore CRA.L said.
