Former MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO Jim Murren will be chairman of a gaming regulatory authority established by the United Arab Emirates.
A statement released Sunday (Pacific Time) by the UAE’s news agency said Murren will chair a board of directors for the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), which was established to introduce a regulatory framework for a national lottery and commercial gaming.
“The GCGRA will create a socially responsible and well-regulated gaming environment, ensuring that all participants adhere to strict guidelines and comply with the highest standards,” the statement said. “It will coordinate regulatory activities, manage licensing nationally and facilitate unlocking the economic potential of commercial gaming responsibly.”
