For the first time, the United Arab Emirates has granted a casino license to carry out gambling business. US-based Wynn Resorts has received this license.

Win Resorts announced the licensing on Friday. Casino operators have long sought to build a resort in the emirate. It is now becoming a reality. Khaleej Times reported this information in a report on Sunday.

According to the report, the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority was established last year to grant gambling licences. This authority issued licenses for the first time.

It also said that the billion-dollar project, spread over an area of ​​62 hectares on the Arabian Gulf, will open to the public in early 2027.

In addition, the Las Vegas-based casino company informed that they are building a luxury resort (resort) on the island of Win Al Marjan in the Ras Al Khaimah region. The UAE’s first casino will be established there.

The UAE has recently introduced several liberal legal reforms. It is expected that as a result of this, tourists from Europe, Asia and other regions will increase in the Gulf country as a trade, tourism and economic center.

Meanwhile, US-based MGM Resorts has also applied for a casino license at one of its resorts in Abu Dhabi.
