Konami Gaming, Inc. Awarded Gaming-Related Vendor License in the United Arab Emirates

Konami Gaming, Inc. has announced the successful completion of the Gaming-Related Vendor Licensing process in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), marking a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion into regulated gaming markets.

The license was granted by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), an independent body of the UAE Federal Government with exclusive jurisdiction over the regulation, licensing, and supervision of all commercial gaming activities in the country. Konami is now among the first companies in the industry to be formally licensed to supply gaming-related products and services within the UAE.


Tom Jingoli, President and Chief Operating Officer of Konami Gaming, emphasized the company’s longstanding dedication to regulatory integrity:

“Since Konami Gaming’s inception, our global growth has been achieved with an unwavering commitment to compliance. 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.”


For over 25 years, Konami Gaming has delivered slot machines for Class III gaming markets, where outcomes are determined by Random Number Generators (RNG). The company has since expanded its renowned entertainment offerings to online gaming and central determination markets.

Konami also leads the industry with its SYNKROS® casino management system, deployed at some of the world’s largest and most diverse gaming properties. SYNKROS is known for its ultra-reliable 99.99% uptime, offering operators a robust and scalable solution for managing gaming floors with maximum efficiency.

With this new license, Konami is poised to bring its world-class solutions to the evolving UAE market and support the country’s vision for a regulated and sustainable gaming industry.
