The Las Vegas subsidiary of Konami Group Corporation is the UAE’s 14th gaming-related vendor licensee.
Konami Gaming, Inc. has acquired a gaming-related vendor license in the United Arab Emirates.
Gaming-related vendor licenses are required for any supplier of gaming equipment in the UAE, such as tables games, slots machines, and other systems that will be used at Wynn Al Marjan Island, the country’s first casino resort.
The UAE’s General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) has to date issued gaming-related vendor licenses to 14 companies, including Scientific Games, IGT and LNW Gaming.
“Since Konami Gaming’s inception, our global growth has been achieved with an unwavering commitment to compliance,” said Tom Jingoli, president & chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, Inc.
“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.”
Konami Gaming is best known in the industry for its Class III slot machines (games where outcomes are determined by random number generators within the machine rather than from outside, such as with bingo) and its SYNKROS casino management system.
It also has developed a large iGaming catalog, though its current GCGRA license does not permit it to provide internet gaming services to UAE online casinos.
