MGM applies for UAE casino license

MGM Resorts has filed its application for a United Arab Emirates casino license, becoming the second land-based gaming operator making a decisive move into the market.

Chief executive Bill Hornbuckle said MGM filed its UAE casino license application in Abu Dhabi during a keynote at the Skift Global Forum in New York [last Thursday] .

“The way it will work, the federal government, the Abu Dhabi government, will approve it,” Hornbuckle explained. “We’ve applied for something there and hopefully will win something there. Then each ruler will have their say. It’s like a state, where each state says yes or no.”
