The manufacturer of casino games and technology for the gaming industry, Konami Gaming, Inc., has announced the successful completion of Gaming-Related Vendor licensing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a key emerging market for commercial gaming.
Konami Gaming is among the first in the industry to be awarded a Gaming-Related Vendor License by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), an independent entity of the UAE Federal Government with exclusive jurisdiction to regulate, license, and supervise all UAE commercial gaming activities. A leading global provider of casino games and casino management systems, Konami has been awarded official permit to serve the UAE’s developing gaming market with its award-winning products and services.
Tom Jingoli, recently appointed President and Chief Operating Officer at Konami Gaming, stated: “Since Konami Gaming’s inception, our global growth has been achieved with an unwavering commitment to compliance. As the United Arab Emirates expands its economy to the regulated commercial gaming space, Konami is dedicated to supporting this market with the same integrity, innovation, and excellence we bring to all 431 gaming jurisdictions we serve worldwide.”
For a quarter century, casino players have enjoyed Konami Gaming’s slot machines for the Class III gaming space, in which game outcomes are determined by random number generators (RNG).
The company has since expanded its world-famous casino entertainment to online gaming and a variety of central determination market sectors. Additionally, Konami Gaming has spent over 20 years delivering its industry-leading SYNKROS® casino management system to some of the largest and most diverse gaming destinations on earth, with ultra-reliable 99.99% uptime.
Recently, Wynn Al Marjan — the largest gaming investment in the region to date — announced plans to feature a 101-berth superyacht marina capable of accommodating vessels up to 85 meters in length, reinforcing its vision to become an iconic yachting destination.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is slated to open in 2027, with 1,530 rooms and suites, 22 restaurants, lounges, and bars, a theater, a nightclub, a beach, a casino, and diverse retail and entertainment offerings.
