Zitro Authorized as 25th Gaming Supplier in UAE After GCGRA Vendor License Grant
Zitro has been granted a Gaming-Related Vendor License by the GCGRA. Zitro becomes the 25th licensed supplier to the UAE’s burgeoning gaming industry ahead of the planned September 2027 opening of Wynn Al Marjan Island, joining the likes of Aristocrat, IGT, Light & Wonder, Novomatic, Konami and Scientific Games.
SCCG Take — The GCGRA approval widens the authorized supplier base for a high-value market while enforcing quality thresholds. International vendors must demonstrate alignment with premium and responsible standards to gain entry.
Spanish gaming supplier Zitro has secured a Gaming-Related Vendor License from the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). The approval authorizes the company to supply its products to licensed operators across the United Arab Emirates.
The license provides Zitro with access to a jurisdiction positioning itself as one of the world’s most promising hospitality and entertainment markets. The UAE continues to build its standing as a premier global destination for luxury tourism, leisure, and high-end experiences.
Zitro’s Assessment of the Approval
Sebastian Salat, President – International at Zitro, said the license aligns the company’s offerings with premium market demands. “The license enables us to offer products that have been conceived to meet the expectations of premium destinations, offering a distinctive combination of cutting-edge design, performance and elegance that aligns naturally with the exceptional standards of this new generation of luxury integrated resorts.”
Zitro described the approval as a further step in its international expansion. The company added that the license reinforces its commitment to working alongside regulators and operators in markets that value quality, long-term investment and responsible growth. Salat’s comments underscore the product focus on elegance and performance suited to integrated resorts.
Context of the UAE’s Licensed Supplier Base

We're watching the UAE build a curated, premium supply chain — not a free-for-all. With Wynn opening September 2027, every license signals who meets the bar for luxury integrated resorts.
