SkyCasino Genting Highlands — a gaming complex among the clouds of Malaysia

SkyCasino — the largest casino in Malaysia, located in the picturesque Genting Highlands, just an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur. The complex is part of Resorts World Genting and is considered one of the largest casinos in Asia. Its uniqueness lies not only in its vast gaming area and variety of entertainment, but also in its unusual location — at an altitude of more than 1800 meters above sea level, which makes staying here a special experience. Games, restaurants, shows, and fresh mountain air create an atmosphere unavailable in traditional city resorts.

History

The idea of creating a gaming resort in the mountains belonged to Malaysian entrepreneur Lim Goh Tong. In 1965 he began building the road and infrastructure, and in 1971 the first Genting Highlands casino opened. SkyCasino became the latest major update to the complex and was introduced to the public in 2017. Today it is a modern entertainment hub that combines decades of experience with innovations in the industry. The casino holds a government license of Malaysia and is the only legal gaming house in the country.

Gaming Area

SkyCasino occupies more than 46,000 square meters, spread over several floors. It features more than 3000 slot machines and dozens of tables for popular table games. A special feature of the complex — the division of areas into Premium and Mass Gaming, allowing guests to choose their level of service and comfort.

Hotel and Accommodation

SkyCasino is part of the Resorts World Genting resort, which includes several hotels, including the First World Hotel — the largest hotel in the world by number of rooms (more than 7000). More upscale accommodation is available at the Crockfords Hotel, Genting Grand and Maxims. All hotels are connected by covered walkways to the casino, restaurants and shopping galleries.
