RGB International Secures UAE Vendor License for Casino Market

Malaysian gaming equipment distributor and developer RGB International Bhd has secured official regulatory approval from the United Arab Emirates to operate as a certified vendor in the country's opening commercial casino market. The company is now among 22 approved suppliers certified to provide electronic gaming machines, backend services, and technical slot maintenance across the Emirates.

This approval positions RGB International to establish long-term B2B relationships and explore commercial options before competitors enter the market. Executive Director Ganaser Kaliappen confirmed the company's vendor application has been cleared by UAE authorities. The licensing comes ahead of the anticipated opening of the Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort.

The UAE expansion provides RGB with a diversification of revenue streams beyond its core markets in East Asia, including Macau, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The company reported a 19% increase in revenue for the first three months of the year, reaching MYR87.4 million ($22.0 million), driven by its gaming product sales and marketing division.

Despite strong revenue growth, RGB International's net profit saw a 15% compression to MYR11.5 million ($2.9 million) due to foreign exchange headwinds. The company stated it will continue to pursue high-value project launches while maintaining operational resilience across its geographic footprint.
