Aristocrat announced Monday that it is the first international slot and online technology company to be granted a gaming-related vendor license by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority. The GCCRA oversees commercial gaming activities in the United Arab Emirates.
The announcement grants Aristocrat the ability to provide the company’s land-based electronic gaming machines and online games and technology solutions to commercial gaming operators licensed by the GCGRA.
The issuance of the license marks a new milestone in the GCGRA’s mission to establish a well-regulated commercial gaming sector in the market.
“We are honored to be the first large, international technology provider to be awarded a gaming-related vendor license to serve the UAE market,” said Aristocrat CEO Hector Fernandez in a statement. “At Aristocrat, our vision is to deliver the best seat in the house wherever, and whenever the world plays. We look forward to doing so by providing premium content for players in the UAE while simultaneously encouraging responsible gameplay.”
Aristocrat will operate under the Gaming Related Vendor License category. As the GCGRA’s first supplier to obtain the license, the company will offer gaming content, hardware and services to cater to player interests and financial preferences.
