What is the new Genting Casino floor?
The new Genting Casino is a mass-market gaming floor that opened at Resorts World Genting at the end of 2024, ten months after the resort closed its Circus Palace and Hollywood floors4. A Maybank Investment Bank analyst who visited on 30 December 2024 found it operating1, and Inside Asian Gaming published his findings on 6 January 2025. The analyst described two themed sections, one styled like SkyCasino and one in a traditional Chinese style.
The name causes confusion. “Genting Casino” was also the umbrella name for the older floors, which were known as Genting Casino 1 (Circus Palace) and Genting Casino 2 (Hollywood). On this site, “Genting Casino floor” means the new floor that opened in December 2024.
How big is the Genting Casino floor?
The Genting Casino floor is small by Genting standards. It has 36 conventional gaming tables1 plus slot machines and electronic table games, and Maybank estimated it at less than 10% of the capacity that Circus Palace and Hollywood had when they were running2. For comparison, SkyCasino held about 70% of the resort’s 600 tables5 in 2023.
Where is the Genting Casino floor located?
The location of the Genting Casino floor inside Resorts World Genting is unconfirmed. We checked the Inside Asian Gaming, The Star and iGB reports, the resort’s casino page and its floor-plan directory, and none of them says where the floor is3.
There is one clue. The resort’s directory map shows a “Genting Casino” label beside the Genting Grand and RW Hotel end of the resort6, but the map is undated and may mark the older floors rather than the new one. iGB has also described that end of the property as the home of most premium play. Until a visit or an official map confirms it, treat the Genting Grand end as a likely area, not a fact.
Why did Resorts World Genting open a new floor?
Resorts World Genting opened the new floor after closing two of its three casinos. Before 2024 the resort had three floors: SkyCasino, Hollywood and Circus Palace4. When those two older floors shut in February 2024, a notice sent guests to SkyCasino. In late 2024 Genting Malaysia said it would reopen Circus Palace and Hollywood only if demand was sufficient7, and the smaller Genting Casino floor appeared weeks later.
Maybank’s visit had followed reports that the old floors were back in use. Instead, the analyst found both still closed2 and the new, smaller floor open.
What are the minimum bets on the Genting Casino floor?
There are no official minimum bets for the Genting Casino floor, because Resorts World Genting publishes no table limits3. The only figure for this floor is a Maybank note reported by Business Today, which put minimum table bets at RM10 to RM1008. We could not open that page to check it, so treat the range as unverified. The minimum bets guide sets it against the SkyCasino figures.

Who can enter the Genting Casino floor?
The Genting Casino floor has the same entry rules as the rest of the resort’s gaming areas. Visitors must be 21 or older10, and Muslim Malaysian citizens are not admitted10. The reasons are in our guide on whether Muslims can enter Genting. Slot and electronic machines need a player card, since Resorts World Genting moved machine play onto cards in 20205. Details are in the age and entry guide and the casino rules guide.
Is the Genting Casino floor still open in 2026?
Probably, but we cannot confirm it. The last dated report of the Genting Casino floor operating is from December 2024, and we found no later report that it closed. The floor status tracker will be updated when newer evidence appears. If you are planning a visit, also check Genting casino opening hours and getting there.
