The casino at Genting Highlands is the only legal casino in Malaysia, operating since the early 1970s within a hill resort an hour from Kuala Lumpur. The gaming operation is spread across several named floors within the resort complex rather than in one hall.
The surrounding development includes indoor and outdoor theme parks, a shopping mall, a concert arena and thousands of hotel rooms across several buildings, reached by cable car or a mountain road. Muslim Malaysians are prohibited from entering the gaming areas.
