Malaysia permits exactly one casino, at the Genting Highlands hill resort an hour from Kuala Lumpur. The licence dates from the 1960s and is tied to a mountain development that has grown into a self-contained town of hotels, theme parks and shopping centres at around 1,700 metres above sea level.
Muslim citizens are prohibited from entering the gaming floor under Malaysian law, and identification is checked accordingly. The property draws from Malaysia's non-Muslim population, from Singapore and from regional visitors, and it has been the base of one of Asia's largest casino groups.
