Resorts World Genting (RWG), a prominent entertainment and hospitality destination in Malaysia, has announced the immediate temporary shutdown of two of its three casinos. Effective from today, Genting Casino 1 (Circus Palace) and Genting Casino 2 (Hollywood) will be closed until further notice.
The gaming group posted an official announcement on the Resorts World Genting website, notifying patrons about the temporary closure. While no specific reason was provided for the casino shutdowns, guests are encouraged to visit SkyCasino for their gaming needs during this period. A convenient shuttle service will operate between 10:00 AM and midnight daily, ensuring seamless access to SkyCasino. See the official message below:
Official Notice of Clarification
Date: 28th February 2024
Dear valued Guests,
We refer to the recent media articles regarding the closure of Genting Casino.
In our ongoing effort to improve our operational efficiency and enhance the gaming and entertainment experience for our guests, we continuously upgrade our facilities. This will involve temporarily closing certain sections of our casino to facilitate the improvements.
Our gaming operations continue to operate as usual.
Thank you.
The closure of these two casinos may impact regular visitors and enthusiasts. However, Resorts World Genting remains committed to providing an exceptional experience for its guests. The remaining casino, SkyCasino, will continue to operate, offering a wide range of gaming options.
As the situation evolves, Resorts World Genting will closely monitor developments and communicate any updates regarding the reopening of the affected casinos. In the meantime, visitors can explore other entertainment offerings within the resort, including dining, shopping, and live performances. The gaming brand appreciates the continued support of its patrons and looks forward to welcoming them back once the casinos reopen.

There’s no official reason as to why they’ve shut down, or no date as to when they intend to resume operations. However, one can speculate that the move comes because of a significant dip in visitors in the last few years since the onset of Covid-19 pandemic across the world.
The footfall has drastically dropped but tourists still travel to the very beautiful SkyCasino. The news comes just a couple of days after we reported that things are looking good for Malaysia, because of visa-free travel and a historically low Ringgit, which was expected to boost tourism, and the number of visitors going to these casinos on a daily basis. The news also came on Genting Founder’s Day, as the company celebrates its 7th anniversary today.
