BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE

31 August 2023

Dear Members,

Over the years, our Jackpot Gaming Room has provided a space for members to engage in recreational gaming activities and to have fun. However, we have observed a noticeable decline in patronage over recent times. This decline in footfall, combined with regulatory tightening in the gaming industry, has posed challenges for us in maintaining the room's operations at the desired level.

The regulatory landscape governing gaming activities has undergone significant changes since 2017, leading to increased taxes, fees, and compliance requirements. While we have made every effort to adapt to these changes, it has become evident that continuing the operation of the Jackpot Gaming Room would result in a projected future deficit that could impact the overall financial health of Singapore Polo Club.

In light of these circumstances, after careful consideration and evaluation by the Committee, the decision has been made to close the Jackpot Gaming Room. This decision aligns with our commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability and prosperity of Singapore Polo Club.

We understand that this news may be disappointing to some of our members who have enjoyed the facilities and experiences the Jackpot Gaming Room has offered. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause. We assure you that this choice was not made lightly and was driven by our dedication to preserving the club's overall vitality.

 

With a sense of responsibility and a heavy heart, we announce the upcoming closure of our Jackpot Gaming Room effective 30 October 2023 [Last day of Jackpot operations].

Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and unwavering loyalty. We are confident that together, we will continue to uphold the legacy and prestige of Singapore Polo Club.

Sincerely,

On behalf of Singapore Polo Club

Hogberg Fred Rickard Robin William
Honorary Secretary
