Hotels Near Al Marjan Island
While Wynn is under construction, these nearby properties offer beachfront stays in Ras Al Khaimah.
Wynn Al Marjan Island will be the UAE's first integrated resort with a licensed gaming facility. The resort follows the "integrated resort" model — a large-scale destination combining hospitality, dining, entertainment, retail, and a regulated gaming area within a single property.
The casino component occupies approximately 20,900 square metres on the main level, with an additional "sky gaming casino" announced for the 22nd floor. Wynn Resorts was awarded the UAE's first commercial gaming operator license by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) in 2024.
The gaming area is expected to represent roughly 4% of the resort's total footprint — the majority of the property is dedicated to hotel rooms, restaurants, spa, beach, pools, marina, retail, and entertainment venues.
Responsible Gaming
The GCGRA framework includes provisions for responsible gaming. Wynn Resorts, as a publicly listed company, is bound by regulatory standards across all jurisdictions where it operates. Detailed entry policies, age requirements, and responsible gaming measures for the UAE property are expected to be published before opening.
Legal Framework
UAE Gaming Rules: Licensed vs Illegal
The UAE established a formal regulatory framework for commercial gaming in 2023. Here's what's confirmed.
Important: Unlicensed commercial gaming is illegal in the UAE. Avoid any unlicensed operators. This website provides informational content only and does not promote, facilitate, or link to any unlicensed gaming activity.
The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) was established in late 2023 to regulate commercial gaming in the UAE. In 2024, Wynn Resorts received the country's first commercial gaming license. UAE authorities have indicated there are no immediate plans to issue additional casino licenses.
Quick answers to common questions about gaming legality in the UAE.
The GCGRA has not publicly confirmed all entry policies, including the minimum age. These details are expected to be announced before the resort opens. Check the official GCGRA website for the latest.
The licensed casino is at Wynn Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, not Dubai. The UAE's regulatory framework applies nationally, but the first licensed gaming resort is in RAK. Unlicensed gaming remains illegal across the UAE.
Entry policies, including whether UAE residents and nationals can access the casino, have not been officially confirmed. The GCGRA is expected to publish detailed regulations before the opening.
Unlicensed commercial gaming is illegal in the UAE and may result in legal consequences. We strongly recommend only engaging with officially licensed and regulated operators.
The GCGRA framework includes responsible gaming provisions. For international resources, organisations such as the International Centre for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) and GambleAware provide information and support.
