Egypt’s gambling market set for steady growth through 2032, research forecasts
Research projects a 4.9 per cent annual growth rate for Egypt’s gambling sector between 2026 and 2032, driven by tourism expansion and continued investment in luxury hospitality developments.
Egypt.- Egypt’s gambling market is projected to grow steadily in the coming years, with research indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.9 per cent between 2026 and 2032, according to analysis by 6Wresearch.
The market’s performance is closely linked to tourism, as most casino operations in Egypt are located within international hotels and resort developments catering primarily to foreign visitors. Key gaming hubs include Cairo, Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada, where casino activity is concentrated within established tourism and hospitality infrastructure.
According to the Egypt Gambling Market Outlook report published by 6Wresearch, the sector’s expansion is expected to remain stable through 2032, supported by sustained international tourism demand. Egypt recorded approximately 19 million international visitors in 2025, generating over $18.8bn in tourism revenue, underscoring the scale of the hospitality industry that underpins casino activity.
With gambling venues largely embedded in hotel and resort ecosystems, the sector’s performance is closely tied to visitor flows and the continued development of tourism infrastructure.
Egypt has continued to invest in tourism expansion, including new hotel developments, resort upgrades and integrated entertainment projects designed to strengthen its position as a global travel destination. These developments are expected to support the long-term performance of land-based casino operations.
As integrated leisure destinations expand, casino offerings are increasingly positioned as part of broader hospitality experiences combining accommodation, dining and entertainment.
With tourism growth expected to remain strong and investment in hospitality infrastructure ongoing, Egypt’s established network of hotel-based casinos is well placed to benefit from sustained visitor demand through 2032.
