Kevin Mullally is stepping down as CEO of the UAE’s General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) for personal reasons, replaced on an interim basis by the regulator’s chairman, Jim Murren.

The transition is effective immediately, according to information provided by the GCGRA. It noted that Mullally, a former Executive Director with the Missouri Gaming Commission and executive with GLI, had joined during the regulator’s establishment phase and guided the creation of its foundational regulatory frameworks – supporting the UAE’s commitment to international standards of integrity and oversight in the commercial gaming sector.

“Kevin has played a significant role in the Authority’s early development, helping to establish its core governance and regulatory structure,” Murren said.
