Novomatic Gets Licensed in UAE: Another Step Towards Wynn Casino Launch
The Austrian company Novomatic, known as one of the largest manufacturers of slot machines and casino solutions, has officially received a license to operate in the field of gambling in the United Arab Emirates.
Now Novomatic will be able to legally supply gaming equipment to the country - this is especially important on the eve of the opening of the first land-based casino Wynn Al Marjan Island, which is planned to be launched in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah by 2027.
This is the third license issued to gambling companies in the UAE. Before Novomatic, Smarplay International and Aristocrat — another major global player in the gambling market — received permits to operate in the region.
The UAE is gradually opening its doors to legal gambling, although this previously seemed impossible due to strict Islamic prohibitions. But it seems that amid interest in tourism and investment, the country has decided to integrate this market into its economy step by step – albeit within the framework of strict regulation.
YellowPikmin Yes, I remember the Avengers slot... I caught such drifts there. I still regret that I did not take a screenshot, now you can't prove it.
AccurateShark28 And I bet on six different WTA matches – I won $180 with $10. But there are few days like this :)
thekidgamer52 PSG are really like a tank now. But finals are always nerves. Too often, the favorites fly from the "outsiders". I would take Inter with a handicap, the odds are good, the risk is justified.
Banditmask FILTH! There are simply no words. Forty pieces, so take and squeeze! Poor dude, I can imagine his condition.
CoreSleyes Dead or Alive 2 is still a legend. I have been playing it since 2019. There is still no feeling that it is outdated.

Novomatic will go there beautifully. They have a lot of experience, and the market is clearly hungry.
I wonder if locals or only tourists will be allowed there? Who knows?
Only I have cognitive dissonance? Casino and Emirates in one offer?
And what, money loves silence... but in the UAE, they also love the ringing of coins!
