Light & Wonder, Inc said Friday that it has been granted a gaming-related vendor license by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) of the United Arab Emirates, making it the 13th industry supplier to be granted a gaming-related vendor license in the UAE.
The license, Light & Wonder explained, enables the company to provide land-based electronic gaming machines, table games and utilities, and online iGaming content to players of licensed operators in the UAE.
“Securing a license from the GCGRA is an important milestone for Light & Wonder as we enter one of the most anticipated new regulated markets in the world,” said Matt Wilson, President and CEO of Light & Wonder.
“We’re honored to be among the first approved suppliers and are committed to bringing our trusted, responsible and player-first approach to the UAE.”
Light & Wonder said the license reflects its “ongoing commitment” to working collaboratively with regulators to ensure safe, secure and responsible gaming experiences.
The company joins the likes of Aristocrat, IGT, Novomatic and TCSJohnHuxley as renowned suppliers to receive a gaming-related vendor license in the UAE, alongside a raft of payment platform providers.
As reported by IAG, there is currently only one company licensed to run a land-based casino – Wynn Resorts for its Wynn Al Marjan project in Ras Al Khaimah – as well as one lottery licensee.
