According to Hotelier Middle East, the first-ever casino in the UAE is scheduled to open in 2026, in Ras Al Khaimah. It will be double the size of the property in Las Vegas, and the resort will be the only thing on Dream Island. The casino is hoping to introduce social and responsible gaming, in accordance with the UAE laws which are currently being written.
In January, The Ras Al Khaimah Tourism and Development Authority launched a new department for ‘gaming’ which will ensure “global best practices in the regulation of gaming that operate as part of integrated resorts across various jurisdictions worldwide.” Its key priority will be to create a framework, “the regulatory structure will address the entire gaming enterprise within integrated resorts, requiring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (including financial crime laws) from operators, suppliers, and employees.” Via RAKTDA.
