List of Casinos in Dubai

By Dubai Casinos

With our new list of Casinos in Dubai you can get an overview of internationally licensed online casinos covered for Arabic-speaking players, as well as information about the developing casino and gaming landscape in the UAE. Dubai is a city famous for luxury, tourism and almost every kind of entertainment. However, unlike destinations such as Macau or Las Vegas, Dubai currently has no licensed land-based casinos where visitors can play traditional casino games.

Gambling in Dubai is therefore very different from the classic casino experience familiar from Las Vegas or Macau. Dubai is home to major sporting events, luxury hotels and internationally known horse racing, but these activities should not be confused with the operation of a licensed casino.

There is also considerable interest in international online casinos, particularly platforms providing casino games and customer support in Arabic. Our list of casinos in Dubai provides information about these international operators. An international gaming licence, however, does not mean that an operator is licensed or authorised in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.

List of Casinos in Dubai

Casino in Dubai Hotel

When searching for a list of casinos in Dubai, it is important to distinguish between actual land-based casinos, international online casinos and the wider gaming developments taking place elsewhere in the UAE. Dubai itself currently has no licensed conventional casino.

International online casinos are a separate category. Some operators provide Arabic-language websites, casino games and Arabic-speaking customer support. Their licences may provide a regulatory framework in the jurisdictions in which they operate, but they should not be described as UAE-licensed casinos unless they actually hold the relevant UAE authorisation.

Readers looking for Arabic-language information can also visit our كازينوهات دبي section. Our Dubai casino video provides additional information about casino games, while our Casino in Dubai Hotel guide looks at the difference between Dubai’s luxury hotels and actual casino establishments.

Dubai Casino

The search term Dubai casino can refer to several different subjects. Some visitors are looking for a physical casino in Dubai, while others are searching for information about international online casinos, Arabic casino games or future casino developments in the UAE.

International online casinos can offer slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat and live dealer games. Some also provide Arabic-language services. These platforms operate independently from Dubai’s local entertainment industry and should not be presented as locally licensed Dubai casinos.

Our Arab Las Vegas Casino page provides further information about online casino games inspired by the traditional international casino experience.

Cruises and Dubai Casinos

Cruise ships are sometimes mentioned when people search for casino options connected with Dubai. Some international cruise ships have casino facilities, but whether these facilities can operate depends on the ship’s location and the applicable maritime and local regulations. A casino aboard a cruise ship should therefore not be described as a licensed casino operating in Dubai.

The same distinction is important for the Meydan racecourse casino Dubai search term. Meydan Racecourse is one of Dubai’s best-known sporting venues and is internationally famous for horse racing, but it is not a conventional land-based casino.

Important: The international online casinos covered on this website may operate under gaming licences issued outside the UAE. Such international licences do not constitute authorisation to offer or promote online gambling in Dubai or elsewhere in the United Arab Emirates. Players should check the laws applicable in their own jurisdiction before using an online gambling service.
