Middle East Gaming News

Yes, World Casino News covers gambling in the Middle East. While we may not have reporters on the ground to watch UAE grudge match horse races, we do have sources that occasionally feed us news out of Cyprus, Turkey, and Israel. Most readers may not be aware that there are casinos in Cairo and even Beruit, nor that a small but growing contingent within the Israeli government would like to see casinos return to Eilat.

Stay tuned to the news on these pages to follow the progress of City of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol. The Lawrence Ho project will be bigger than any integrated resort in Europe when it opens in 2021 and infuses €700 million a year into the Cypriot economy. Follow U.N. Peacekeepers as they gingerly balance Turkish and Greek Cypriot police force interests when illegal operations in the Buffer Zone are shut down. Keep abreast of the possibilities as Israel struggles with its own casino question.
