Wynn Resorts recently confirmed that its Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort in the UAE is on track for a September 2027 opening, alongside stronger-than-expected second-quarter results. The announcement reinforces the UAE's commitment to regulated gaming and its growing role in the global iGaming industry.
That story traces back to October 2024, when the UAE's newly formed regulator issued its first-ever commercial gaming license, a historic first for a country where gambling had been off the table for decades.
